A period Somerset farmhouse with bold opinions about how a house should feel – eclectic sitting rooms in deep navy and emerald, a coral-pink island beneath full-height Crittall glazing, and a main suite where a period fireplace faces a marble-tiled en-suite. Outside, a stone terrace gives way to a generous lawn, and when the evening calls for something more theatrical, the Finnish barbecue kota with its central fire pit and stone-built pizza oven more than delivers. A shared lake with a wooden jetty, the Mendip Hills on the doorstep, and Wells, Glastonbury, and Bath all within roughly fifteen-miles round things out nicely.

The Somerset Larder

This delightful home is nestled in the Somerset countryside, within easy reach of Wells and Bath. This unique home is on a 450-acre gated estate, where luxury and eco-conscious living blend. The house features high ceilings, huge windows, and a patio – it provides an idyllic escape for families and groups of friends seeking a peaceful and luxurious getaway. We love the main bedroom’s balcony, and the relaxing bathtubs in the elegant bathrooms – you’ll find it easy to relax here. 

River Repose

This delightful home is a haven of sustainable luxury. It’s in the heart of Somerset, close to woodland and countryside yet within easy reach of historic cities including Bath and Wells. This home is part of a 450-acre gated estate and boasts a balcony and a hot tub. You can look forward to high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space designed with socialising in mind. The kitchen has top-of-the-range appliances and a chic island, so whipping up family meals is a breeze. 

The Woodland Haven

This modern home is the perfect spot for a peaceful escape in the Somerset countryside. Set within a quiet estate, you’ll be surrounded by woodland, with plenty of space to relax both indoors and out. We love the open-plan living area upstairs, filled with natural light and opening onto balconies where you can soak up the countryside views. Outside, the private garden and Jacuzzi make a lovely place for unwinding after a day exploring. While the setting feels secluded, you’re only a short drive away from the buzz of Bath, too.

Country Crossroads

This eco-conscious home is just how you'd wish for an escape to the countryside – close to Bath, yet set in peaceful woodland, with wildlife to spot by day and stargazing at night. The family dog can come along too, making it easy to spend your days on long walks around the estate and beyond. Back at home, start your morning with coffee outside in privacy and end it with family games before ending it in the tub – exactly how a country retreat should be. All that's missing is a good book and nowhere to be.

A Gentle Stay

Part of a 450-acre gated estate, this large contemporary home combines its peaceful Somerset location with a refreshing focus on sustainability. With its conscious design touches, heat pump technology and EV charging, this home is ideal for families or friend groups looking to escape to the country without forsaking a little luxury. When you're not enjoying dinner out on the patio, looking out over the master bedroom balcony, or catching up at the breakfast bar, you can take a short drive to the rolling Mendip Hills, or visit picturesque cities like Bath and Wells.

The Verdant Wood

Tucked away in the Somerset countryside, yet within easy reach of Bath and Frome, we think this is a fabulous rural retreat. It’s set within a private gated estate, meaning quiet days come naturally here. Fling open the doors and you’ll find a modern, bright home with high ceilings and big windows where you can take in the rocky backdrop next to you. Upstairs, the open-plan living space is ideal for spending time together, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of room to relax. There’s a balcony too, great for savouring your morning coffee on, plus a grassy garden for little ones to let off some steam.

The Somerset Escape

There’s no better way to embrace the ethereal Somerset countryside around Glastonbury than staying in a converted church. In the evening, the stained-glass windows of this gothic church still glow against the landscape, as a roaring wood-burning stove warms up the open living space inside. 30-foot, knaved ceilings inside let the chatter of good times rise to the Gods and there’s a banquet-sized dining table for the whole group on the mezzanine level. Admire the rose stained-glass windows as you sup. 

The kitchen is tucked away and has everything you need for self-catering One of our favourite spots is the sunroom, set with tables and chairs for an idyllic afternoon tea. Either that or the hand-painted claw-foot tub in the main bathroom – ideal for a soak after hiking up Glastonbury Tor. Or, soak the day away in the outdoor hot tub.

This church is tucked into the hamlet of East Horrington, a ten-minute drive from the Cathedral town of Wells where you’ll find shops, cafés and plenty of places to eat. It’s a twenty-minute drive to Glastonbury and the countryside in between is full of walking and cycling trails to explore. 

Gothic Church

Offering sustainable luxury and a charming setting, this is a delightful choice of base in Somerset. The eco-home sits on a 450-acre gated estate surrounded by woodland – it’s perfect for a peaceful break. During your stay, you can easily explore the Mendips and the Somerset countryside, with beautiful Wells just a twenty-minute drive away. At home, you can look forward to cooking together in the top-of-the-line kitchen and spending quality time outside by the fire pit. Comfortable, chic, and green – this home ticks every box. 


Woodland Whisper

Cosy countryside cottages don’t get much better than this. Tucked away in the Somerset countryside, this home is an absolute delight. It’s been recently renovated with wood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows, and it boasts a charming blend of contemporary and antique furniture. If you like the idea of escaping the city for a charm-filled cottage, but could do without dusty beams and draughty doors, this is the right home for you. 

The cottage is warm and welcoming, the perfect setting for a romantic escape. Curl up on the sofa and admire the lush garden as you sip Champagne. When the weather is fine, open up the glass doors to create a stunning indoor/outdoor space. Whip up meals in the kitchen to enjoy outside in the garden, or fire up the barbecue for a real alfresco treat – you might like to walk to the nearby farm shop for local goodies to cook. Soak up the sunshine outside and enjoy the countryside views. In the evening, get cosy around the fire pit before sinking into the oh-so-comfortable bed upstairs. 

You could happily spend your days here, playing board games, reading, and admiring the garden, but if you do want to explore further afield, you have plenty of choice. The East Mendip Way passes right by the cottage, so bring your hiking boots if you want to get a bit closer to the Great Outdoors. It takes thirty-two minutes to drive to Bath, where you can admire the Roman Baths and explore the galleries, museums and theatres – not to mention the excellent array of eateries. Or perhaps you’ll just pootle around the countryside, popping into charming villages – Mells and Bruton are close by – and country pubs whenever the fancy strikes? Soho House members will enjoy its proximity to Babington House. However you spend your time here, you’ll love having such a delightful place to call home.


Miss Honey's Cottage

Tucked away amid seemingly endless open countryside in Somerset, this home is a little bit special. It’s part of a larger estate – which includes an animal rescue sanctuary – but it has its own driveway so it feels completely private. It’s been transformed into a guesthouse from the ancient outbuildings, and the result is a dreamy bohemian space. 

The house is hidden in 20 acres of private grounds in Lottisham, a rural hamlet in pretty Somerset. You’ll be able to explore the surrounding countryside on foot using the many lanes and footpaths – is there anything better than a crisp country stroll with friends, followed by an afternoon in front of a roaring fire? You’ve also got all of Somerset’s delights to discover by car. It takes eighteen minutes to drive to Glastonbury, where you can walk up to the Tor to take in the view, and shop in the quirky boutiques for crystals and tarot decks. Castle Cary and its charming cafes are sixteen minutes away, and it takes nineteen minutes to reach beautiful Bruton. 

That said you might find that you don’t want to leave the grounds at all. The house is elegant yet warm, full of rustic charm and modern luxuries – everything you need for a relaxing stay is to hand here. You’ll spend your time cooking delicious meals in the stunning kitchen, or playing games in one of the sitting rooms. The outside space is just as lovely, with a huge terrace and a barbecue that makes alfresco feasts in the summer an absolute dream. You’ll be planning your return trip even before reaching the end of the driveway. 


Bohemian Bliss

Set within a private estate, this eco home looks out across a lake surrounded by woodland. The style is modern farmhouse, with earthy tones, wood-panelled walls and big windows framing countryside views, while two living rooms offer plenty of space to spread out. Furry friends are very welcome here too, with a handy boot room for drying muddy paws and storing wellies after a long walk through the Mendip Hills. When you fancy a change of scene, Bath is just a thirty-minute drive away.

With Love, Frome

With Frome’s cobbled streets just a short drive away and a hot tub waiting back at base, this is a stay designed for both days out and nights in. Spend your mornings exploring local markets, boutiques and galleries before striking out into the Somerset countryside or even taking a day trip to Bath or Stourhead. Back home, there’s space to gather in the open-plan living area, cook together in the well-equipped kitchen, or head outside for an evening under the stars. Dogs are welcome too, so no one has to be left behind.

Fields & Firelight

With the ambience of a country hotel, this apartment, set in an old manor house, is a great place to stay. Showcasing the grandeur of the eighteenth century with its original window shutters, cast iron radiators, and ornate plasterwork, the decor is a real highlight. And we love the balcony overlooking the communal gardens – perfect for evening drinks. Located near Frome, you’ll find plenty to do in this vibrant town, which is rich in history and culture. Browse the independent shops or have a wander around the regular markets on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

A Charming Place

Don't be fooled by the rustic exterior of this eco-lodge nestled at the foot of the Mendip Hills. Inside, this pristine home offers every creature comfort you could imagine from a countryside retreat. Stunning scenery takes centre stage here – and rightly so. One glance at the rolling countryside from the wrap-around deck, and you'll see why. Come together for lazy breakfasts in the sociable kitchen and dining area with the patio doors slid right back to let the sunshine in. Pad out onto the deck to soak away the morning in the hot tub. Sneak back to the king-sized bed with a freshly brewed coffee and a good book. Or fire up the barbecue and gather your troops for some alfresco dining. Wherever you choose to be, those stunning vistas will be right there. And when the great outdoors finally comes calling, you won't have far to go. Set within a 14-acre estate, pop your wellies on and explore the surrounding verdant landscape. Or jump in the car for a stroll around the charming village of Cheddar (less than ten minutes drive). And a little further, the historic city of Wells (twenty-minute drive) - home to a picturesque cathedral, the beautiful Bishop's Palace, and a twice-weekly farmer's market for all the cheese and cider you could muster.
