The Newt
Somerset
Reason to visit: From the team behind
much-lauded Babylonstoren in South Africa’s
Cape Winelands, The Newt channels a similar sense of paired-back,
bucolic luxury. Retreat to the estate’s 30 acres of gardens,
nabbing a book from the library and bottle of wine from the deli en
route. Dabble in a game of croquet and stop for a spot of tea on
your way back – just in time for supper, largely sourced from the
surrounding land.
