Relax and unwind in the spa with its indoor-outdoor pool, steam room, sauna and treatment rooms. Reconnect in the Medieval Herb garden, sit for a manicure, get some added stress relief through couples’ mud therapy, or enjoy a proper washdown in the hammam. If you are looking for a bit more action, take a stretch in the Gym while watching the gardeners tending to vegetables for the dinner plate.

“I love that The Newt is set deep in the Somerset Countryside.

Here, nature makes it so easy for you to lower your shoulders

and take a deep breath. Our spa is closely connected to nature

and having a herbal garden at our doorstep that we can work

with is such a luxury. At the spa we would like to invite our

guests to experience this simple luxury: a barefoot walk,

picking some herbs, smiling at the birds. All this brings you

back to yourself, which is the greatest luxury of all, isn’t it?”

Editor’s Notes

The Newt is fully working estate in Somerset with acres of splendid gardens, woodland, farmland and cyder orchards to explore. 

The core is Georgian, with limestone buildings the colour of burnt honey, the seat of the Hobhouse family for more than two centuries. Hadspen and the Farmyard nestle quietly amongst orchards, lakes and woodland that reflect the love lavished upon them over the past 300 years.
