Family Stays
Considerations such as space, comfort, entertainment and dining options the whole family will enjoy are all high on the list when it comes to planning your perfect family friendly staycation. From bikes for getting around to family pool time, accredited babysitting services, daily activities during the holidays, plus free stays for under-8s, an escape to The Newt offers something for everyone.
If you’re dreaming of a luxury family break in the heart of the Somerset countryside, we have availability in the school holidays and beyond. Book ahead, pack the sun cream and let us handle the rest.
Family Rooms
Many of our rooms in Hadspen House and its Stable Yard are configured with family stays in mind. Feel at home in our self-contained cottage with its own living space and kitchen, gather round in our Clock House, spread out in converted 18th century farm buildings, or enjoy views out over the gardens in our Hadspen Family Room.
Children receive a special gift on arrival. Roll out beds and cots can be added to any of our rooms on request.
Family friendly Activities
We have a packed programme to keep the whole family entertained over the holidays. From Forest School to Tree Climbing and garden trails, your little ones are encouraged to join a daily activity with our compliments.
Our Beezantium, Story of Gardening and Roman Villa Experience are perfect for rainy days and inspiring inquisitive young minds on any visit. With acres to explore, you never can tell what lies ahead on a wander through the gardens and woodland: from spotted ducks to timid deer, a bug hotel and a Somerset wyvern hiding in a magical grotto.
Pick up a bike for a pootle across the estate. Splash in the pools during family time. Kick back with a movie night in the snug – we’ll bring the popcorn and hot chocolate.
From Plot to Plate
Budding growers will be able to see home-grown spoils in the Kitchen Garden and orchards before it appears on their plate. Pop peas straight from the pod. Scrump apples in the Parabola. Pick berries from the hedgerows.
From wholesome breakfasts right through to dinner, snacks in the room, scoops of creamy gelato, daily scones with clotted cream and jam and apple juice on tap, there’ll be no chance of feeling hungry or thirsty! Children’s menus at our eateries are perfect for under 12s and during the summer months, the shade of the lime tree avenue is the ideal spot for a picnic.
