Hadspen, Castle Cary BA7 7LW, United Kingdom
Just beyond the cyder orchards, half a mile from Hadspen as the crow flies, this former dairy farm is a place to spread out and lean back, cheek-to-rosy-cheek with grazing livestock and sheltering oaks. Original farm buildings, with a delightfully golden patina, are home to 17 rooms, a pool, bar, snug and all-day kitchen. Drinks are served at the Garner Bar, while bikes and buggies provide ample opportunity for pootling over to the gardens and spa at Hadspen. This hidden gem is the ultimate location for a celebration or country escape with friends and family.
