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.
Become A Member
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.

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.
Great Garden Escape
Don't miss the train... Run away and experience all things Somerset. Once again, we will be embarking 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.
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. We cover a diverse range of subjects from horticulture and ecology, heritage crafts and Dawn Walks, food and floriculture, cyder-making and mushroom foraying, and more. Book now and grow with us.
Stay With Us
At the heart of the estate, surrounded by gardens and farmland, is Hadspen. A traditional limestone house built in the 17th century and remodelled in Georgian times. Today we off-set its restrained beauty with playful design set across 23 bedrooms, The Botanical Rooms restaurant, drawing rooms and bar. Just beyond the cyder orchards, half a mile from Hadspen as the crow flies, is the Farmyard, the former dairy of the estate. Home to 17 rooms, a pool, bar, snug and all-day kitchen - grab a bike or book a buggy and pootle over to the estate gardens or spa at Hadspen.
Book A Table
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.
The Creamery
Return to the Golden Age of travel at The Creamery, our new dairy and station cafe serving hearty British food within a complex of restored and reimagined Edwardian buildings.
