Stay for Christmas & New Year
It’s never too early to think about this special time of year and book a truly memorable luxury Christmas hotel stay over Christmas or New Year. Pack up your finery, walking boots and those you hold dear for three or four nights of feasting, festivities and relaxation here in Somerset.
Our elves have conjured that festive feeling in every room, with treats and gifts on arrival and an itinerary jam packed with unforgettable estate experiences to enjoy alongside celebratory food, drinks and a sprinkling of Newt magic.
Choose between family suites to romantic hideaways, loft spaces, converted farm buildings, our self-contained cottage and more for a true luxury Christmas break in Somerset.
Exclusive Festive Experiences
Alongside a world class spa, acres of formal gardens to bike, buggy or walk around and immersive interactive exhibits to explore, our luxury Christmas hotel breaks come with a bespoke festive itinerary.
Book in over Christmas to enjoy guided walks, bauble painting, chocolate making, falconry meet-and-greets, carols, Christmas stories, movie nights, biscuit decorating, live jazz, a magical St Nicholas visit and more.
Gather & Feast
Chefs are working with farmers and gardeners to add final flourishes to festive menus this Christmas and New Year.
Our four night Christmas break (23 - 27 December) includes dinner each evening, a decadent four-course Christmas Day lunch with wine, Boxing Day brunch, breakfast each morning and festive cream teas daily.
Three-night celebrations over New Year (30 December – 2 January) include a stock of festive in-room mini bar treats, breakfast each morning, a welcome dinner at the Garden Café, New Year’s Eve tasting menu at The Botanical Rooms and a Hadspen House Party with music and dancing to see in the New Year.
Revellers can recover over New Year’s Day brunch and play to win a two-night luxury hotel break at The Newt’s annual New Year’s Day Croquet Championship.
