The Newt in Somerset
The Newt in Somerset is a country estate with ancient woodland, historic gardens and far-reaching views.

A new and unique destination attracting recognition at the highest level, with luxury hotel, spa, restaurants and an abundance of homegrown produce.

Our 300-year-old estate welcomes guests from all over the world; a home from home, delivering outstanding service in informal surroundings.

Gardens, orchards, and treetop walkways inspire while roaring fires and a garden-scented spa offer true tranquility. Much of our food is sourced from the estate or trusted local farms and producers.

Hotel Food and Beverage
Our Hotel F&B team are placed across two restaurants in our Hotels.

Hadspen House is the focal point of our estate, housing a 23-bedroom hotel, library, bar and kitchen called the Botanical Rooms.

We offer a true, farm to fork dining experience in a beautifully designed, atmospheric 60 cover restaurant.

All food is prepared in our kitchen with ingredients fresh from our gardens or locally sourced, ensuring quality and seasonality throughout our offering.

Open for breakfast through to dinner, we also host afternoon tea in the library and early evening cocktails on the terrace.

The department extends into the house, encompassing the bar, library, croquet lawn, terrace and badminton court - delivering exceptional service throughout.

A reimagined dairy nestled in the rolling Somerset hillside, our newest hotel project which houses 17 beautiful guest rooms within a newly renovated farmhouse with outbuildings.

The Farmyard boasts a swimming pool, games room, complimentary bar and 40-cover restaurant.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner using the finest produce from the estate, we cook in a wood fired oven and our chefs serve straight to the table.

Seasonally lead, hearty yet humble sharing dishes with wine served in a beautiful stone barn, with relaxed yet high-end service and open kitchen.
