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.
Festive Magic
With the moral of this year’s Christmas story in mind, there’s never been a better time to share in The Newt magic. Members and guests are invited to join us for a Christmas Showcase over the weekend 7 - 8 December, when the estate will be transformed into a wonderland of festive treats, gift inspiration and family fun. St Nicholas will be back in the Gardener’s Cottage to delight little ones, returning on weekends in December in the lead up to the big day. You’ll find the scent of spiced mulled cyder wafting through the Courtyard, seasonal displays popping up in the Threshing Barn and Farm Shops to help tick off your lists, and chefs going all in on the flavours of the season: on festive menus and grocery range online.
Awarded Prestigious Michelin Three Keys
We are thrilled to announce that we have recently been honoured with the highly coveted Three Keys Award by the Michelin Guide. This prestigious award, comparable to Michelin Stars for restaurants, recognises excellence in the world of hospitality.
The Michelin Key distinction celebrates hotels that excel in architecture, interior design, service quality, character, value for price, and contributions to their local communities. We’re proud to be one of only 14 properties in the UK and Ireland to receive this accolade, joining an elite group of industry leaders. It reflects the passion and dedication of our entire team. We invite you to celebrate this achievement with us and experience a truly extraordinary stay here at The Newt in Somerset.
