The Great Garden Escape, Somerset Stopover
This experience pairs our infamous London to Somerset Great Garden Escape adventure with a restful night at The Newt, allowing time to savour the gardens, the land, and the rhythm of rural life.
All aboard! Let us do the hard work, as our wonderful GGE hosts whisk you away from the hubbub of London Paddington, to the serenity of Somerset for an overnight experience like no other.
After a leisurely journey, disembark at Castle Cary station, where we'll take a short transfer to The Newt estate. Enjoy scenic tours, experiences and tastings led by our experts before checking in and enjoying an indulgent dinner at The Botanical Rooms or Farmyard Kitchen.
After a restful sleep and hearty breakfast, Friday is yours to savour: invigorate with a cold dip in the lake, buggy to Villa Ventorum or soak in the beauty of the gardens before journeying back to London Paddington.
