Ston Easton Park is a Palladian mansion set in country estate grounds in Somerset. It is an elegant country house hotel that provides a tranquil and calming rural retreat. The hotel is surrounded by 36 acres of parkland, as well as housing a Victorian kitchen garden and a stretch of the River Norr. If you decide to tear yourself away from the grounds, the hotel is ideal placed to explore other parts of the West Country. The historic city of Bath, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a mere 11 miles drive away.

The facilities

Facilities here are very much in keeping with the stately elegance of the mansion. The estate's thirty acres of 18th-century parkland are open for exploration with guided garden tours taking place frequently by the head gardener. Private beauty and aromatherapy treatments are available in-suite. There's also a croquet lawn, a billiards room and a tennis court on site, and staff are happy to organis boat cruises along the Kennet and Avon waterways.

The rooms

Each of Ston Easton Park's 22 rooms is grandly decorated with antique furnishings and host genuine four poster or coronet beds. All rooms have beautiful garden or parkland views and come complete with broadband internet access.
