The Comb and Wattle Inn
- See The Comb and Wattle Inn for more details.
The Comb and Wattle Inn can be found on a raised platform in the centre of Combe. [28.7S, 49.3W]
Though Lizbeth Honeymeade, the Tavern Keep, works hard to provide the best possible service it is in desperate need of renovations and quite empty: Except for some unpleasant ruffians and the rare, rough rangers. However, during festivals this place livens up a bit when members of the Inn League empty the storage of Beakbreaker Ale.

Lore
- "Bree was the chief village of the Bree-land, a small inhabited region, like an island in the empty lands round about. Besides Bree itself, there was Staddle on the other side of the hill, Combe in a deep valley a little further eastward, and Archet on the edge of the Chetwood. (...) Most of the inhabitants of Bree and Staddle, and many even from Combe and Archet, were crowded in the road to see the travellers start." — The Fellowship of the Ring, by Tolkien
- One of the four settlements that together made up the Bree-land, Combe lay in a deep valley on the eastern side of the Bree-hill. It was somewhat to the north of Staddle, but not so distant from Bree as Archet on the fringes of the Chetwood. Its name comes ultimately from an Old English word cumb meaning a deep valley. Probably founded before TA 1300. — lorebook
