The Newt in Somerset

The Newt in Somerset, awarded Three Michelin Keys in the Michelin Guide’s inaugural selection of extraordinary hotels, is a 2,000-acre working farm with rooms, with formal and productive gardens, luxury hotel and spa, ancient woodlands, apple orchards, cyder cellar, restaurants, farm shops and an educational programme. The hotel is home to 42 individually designed rooms set across two accommodation styles - Hadspen House, the Grade II* listed Georgian manor house at the heart of the gardens, and Farmyard, which offers a laid back, private experience, hidden away in a secluded area of the estate. The ethos of The Newt in Somerset is to celebrate the best of the West Country, with a focus on the local and sustainable. The bucolic setting has inspired a garden-to-table menu in the restaurants, as well as botanical treatments in the spa. Members can enjoy these year-round, along with an annual programme of talks, workshops and events led by The Newt’s knowledgeable team. The estate’s ethos is to combine traditional practices with modern facilities and thinking, farming in a circular way that gives back to the soil. Livestock and crops regenerate each other to create a balanced ecosystem. Everything is rooted in a deep respect for the land and all creatures living on it.
