The Newt in Somerset is a country estate reimagined like no other. A truly grand territory, reaching over 12o hectares. Why not drive out for the whole weekend? Depart from London on a Friday afternoon, a car ride being roughly 2.5 hours, check into your room (The Farmyard Room is an unbeatable option to go for – contemporary but by no means lacking the countryside flair) and begin your stay with a cozy dinner at The Farmyard Kitchen. On Saturday, make sure to book yourself in for a spa treatment followed by a relaxing nap on the outdoor sunbeds (if the weather allows). Leave enough time for a pre-dinner aperitive at the self-service ‘chalet bar’ in The Farmyard, where visitors can mix their own drinks, enjoy a round of Backgammon or socialize with other hotel guests. For a more elegant dinner option, book a table at The Botanical Rooms and enjoy elevated British cuisine. For some action, immerse yourself in a cyder tasting (this is after all what the hotel is known for) or a bee safari. Finally, enjoy lunch at the Garden Café prior to your departure. The best part? Guests are offered complimentary private buggies to freely move around the estate.
