A breathing space in Somerset for nature lovers, wild swimmers and creatives

At the heart of oakhill ponds are two large, spring-fed ponds linked by an 18th-century grotto and surrounded by woodland and wildflower meadows.

This inspirational retreat, with outdoor swimming and an off-grid sauna, is ideal for contrast therapy, the age-old tradition of cold plunge and sauna, a secret to feeling good.

This unique, nature-rich site with deer and heron has hidden waterfalls, grottos, a secret garden, and a horse-lorry reading room.

Ideal for retreats or gentle celebrations for groups or couples; the perfect blend of togetherness and personal space.
