A retreat where time passes differently
In an age when travel means more than just a change of scenery, there are places designed to help us reconnect with what truly matters. Destinations where nature sets the pace, cuisine tells stories, and every detail invites you to slow down.
The Newt in Somerset is one of them.
Located on a historic estate spanning more than 800 hectares in southwest England, this extraordinary hotel has redefined the concept of a rural getaway. Much more than just a place to stay, it is a world where centuries-old gardens, forests, orchards, culinary experiences, and wellness coexist in perfect harmony.
Here, the real privilege is to slow down and let yourself be surprised by the beauty of everyday life.
A New Icon of British Hospitality
Since its opening, The Newt has become one of Europe’s most admired hotel projects. Its concept combines the historic character of a traditional English estate with a contemporary vision of travel that is deeply connected to the surrounding environment.
The property is centered around Hadspen House, an elegant, carefully restored Georgian mansion, and a collection of spaces that celebrate Somerset’s landscape and heritage.
Every corner has been designed to blend seamlessly with nature. The sophisticated and inviting interiors open onto spectacular gardens, forest trails, and expansive countryside that invite you to explore at your own pace.
Where nature takes center stage
Few places understand the relationship between hospitality and landscape as well as The Newt. Its gardens, considered among the most beautiful in the United Kingdom, are a constantly evolving creation. Strolling through its greenhouses and orchards allows you to discover a philosophy that places nature at the heart of the experience.
The estate also features extensive forests, meadows, lakes, and areas dedicated to biodiversity conservation, allowing travelers to discover the English countryside from an authentic and inspiring perspective.
From the Garden to the Table: A Celebration of the Region
Cuisine is one of the cornerstones of The Newt. Its philosophy of using locally sourced ingredients is evident in every dish. Fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey, and other ingredients come directly from the estate’s orchards and gardens, while local producers round out a selection that showcases Somerset’s rich culinary heritage.
The result is honest, seasonal, and elegant cuisine that reflects the character of the region.
Well-being Inspired by Nature
At The Newt, wellness is an integral part of the entire experience. The treatments incorporate botanical ingredients and products made from plants grown on the estate itself.
Swimming pools, relaxation areas, and programs designed to help you unwind allow you to restore your balance in an environment of absolute serenity.
A Getaway for the Senses
What makes The Newt unique is its ability to transform the simple into the extraordinary. The scent of the gardens at dawn, the sounds of the countryside at dusk, a dinner prepared with freshly harvested ingredients, or a stroll among century-old apple trees are all part of an experience that celebrates the pleasure of living at a slower pace.
In an increasingly fast-paced world, The Newt represents a new way of understanding travel: one that is more mindful, authentic, and connected to the environment.
