A Country Estate, Reimagined
Our working estate in Somerset has acres of splendid gardens, woodland, farmland and cyder orchards to explore. Stay a night or two, or become a member and see the landscape change throughout the year.

Easter on the Estate
Join us on the estate this Easter to celebrate the season and share the enjoyment of our gardens and farms springing into life. The What's On calendar is busy with activities for all the family, and the shops are filled with chocolate treats, roasting joints, Bakery favourites, potted plant bulbs and garden essentials.
During the school holidays from 1-16 April, we're putting on an Easter Trail for little ones to explore the gardens; while the long weekend of 7-10 April is not to be missed, with new Children's Garden Tours and lamb feeding demonstrations from our farmer. Hop to it!

A Slice of the Good Life
Our passionate team of farmers, gardeners, butchers, bakers, cheesemakers, chefs and cyder makers work in harmony with land and livestock to produce delicious food for the table. Spend £60 today and enjoy a free bottle of Fine Cyder (enter code WASSAIL at checkout), with free delivery throughout the UK.

Dine at The Botanical Rooms
Enjoy elegant and seasonal dining, inspired by and gathered from your surroundings. Chef Ben Champkin invites you to feast on estate vegetables, the choicest cuts from the salt room and dayboat fish from the Dorset coast. Savour the tasting menu, paired with Fine Cyder or something special from the house cellar.
A Feast for The Senses
Discover a feast for all the senses, from garden eateries to daily tours and seasonal workshops, all inspired by the land beneath our feet and the history and tradition of Somerset. We recommend planning ahead to make the most of every visit. Explore formal and productive gardens, get a buzz from the Beezantium or discover a subterranean world in The Story of Gardening. Finally, no day would be complete without stopping at the cellar or the Farm Shop to sample a drop or two of Cyder.

Great Garden Escape
Don't miss the train... Run away next summer and experience all things Somerset. From May 2023 we will be embarking once again on a First Class adventure, whisking you from London Paddington to the heart of the West Country. Explore picturesque gardens and ancient woodland, discover the art of cyder making and enjoy the finest fare plucked from the soil beneath your feet. Finally relax back into your seat and savour the perfect afternoon tea, as the miles fly by and we return you to the city.
