Search out your perfect view 🔭

Autumn rewards those who wander.

Look up, look closer, peer a little further - as the landscape begins its slow transformation and familiar corners of the estate take on an entirely different hue.

There’s always something worth stopping for.

New Year, Newt style 🪩

Three nights of respite and revelry, multi-course feasting and a Hadspen House Party with DJ and dancing well into the night.

Come morning, blow away the cobwebs with a brisk walk, spa session or cold dip in the lake - preferably followed by a stiff Bloody Mary.

And save a little competitive spirit for our New Year’s Day Croquet Championship. There’s a return visit on the line, after all.

30 December 2026 – 2 January 2027

Back for seconds 🍽️

Due to popular demand, we’ve opened a second date for our Harvest Supper with HORRELL & HORRELL.

Join Jules, Steve and The Newt team under canvas in the Kitchen Garden for another evening celebrating the abundance of the season - cooked over fire and shared around the table.

Expect beetroot-cured Chalk Stream trout, wood-roasted garden squash, charred British White beef, Glasshouse tomatoes and crispy potatoes from the fire, followed by caramelised plums, fig leaf custard, meadowsweet cream and homegrown popcorn.

Come for sundowners and golden garden views, and stay for a three-course feast showcasing the very best of the harvest 🥄

The Harvest Supper with Horrell & Horrell
Second date now available, 10 September

this week: room with a route 🛺

One of our favourite ways to roam. Hop in, trundle through the orchards, pass the Four Seasons Garden and arrive in time for dinner.

Buggy number 28 looking particularly good in the September sunshine - a rather different picture to the view outside this morning.

Thank you to everyone sharing their moments from across the estate. Submissions close each Thursday at lunchtime, with a new photograph featured on our grid each week.

Simply tag us with to take part.

The Measure of a Good Loaf 🍞
 
A good meal starts with good bread. Or at least, it does in our books - so it’s something we take rather seriously in our Bakery.
 
Simple enough on paper – purely a combination of flour, water and salt – it is rather less so in practice. A good loaf requires good flour, good sea salt, a lively starter and, of course, patience.
 
Our Seeded Sourdough is one of our favourites – and the judges at this year’s Great Taste Awards seem to agree, awarding it a gold star to call its own 🥇
 
Wholewheat, dark rye and roasted barley flours are folded through with sunflower, pumpkin and linseeds, then slow-fermented for over forty-eight hours and proved for another twenty-four. Before baking, each loaf is rolled in yet more seeds which toast in the oven to form a golden, nutty crust around the chewy crumb within.
 
Nothing more is required than a good slathering of salt-flecked butter, though it stands up to most things.
