Welcome to The Newt in Somerset
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.
Wintering At The Newt
Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of The Newt in Somerset, where Georgian heritage, honey-hued limestone buildings, and 300 years of curated orchards, lakes, woodlands, and scenic vistas create a tranquil countryside escape.
We’re incredibly proud to share that we have retained the prestigious Three Keys Michelin Guide Award Like the Michelin Star for restaurants, the Michelin Key honours exceptional hotels, recognising excellence in architecture, interior design, service quality, character, value for price, and contributions to the neighbourhood.
A Year Of Wonderment
Our membership is open to everyone and provides unlimited access for 12 months, allowing you to explore the gardens, woodland and exhibitions throughout the year. You can visit our partner gardens and will receive exclusive offers from our online store. We welcome families and delight in the sound of children in the garden, and those with accessibility issues will find highlighted routes around the grounds.
Workshops & Events
See. Hear. Smell. Taste. Feel. Exercise your senses, learn new skills, indulge new passions, explore new experiences, and gain new knowledge. Our seasonal programme of workshops is led by our expert team of specialists.

Farm To Fork
At our working country estate, food is the edible thread that ties all our endeavours together. From our gardens and farm to our fields and orchards, everything we produce is rooted in the Somerset landscape. Our restaurants showcase fresh, seasonal fare, lovingly prepared by our talented chefs.
