Nestled in 20 acres of the serene Somerset countryside, Homewood Bath is the ultimate staycation destination. Eclectic, luxurious and slightly eccentric; think grand Georgian country house and grounds filled with creative artworks and ultra-modern indulgences including a spa, heated outdoor swimming pool and alfresco thermal experiences. There’s some quirkiness about Homewood.

Whether it’s the model of a horse with rock star Kurt Cobain drawn on its rear end in the garden the thoughtful monkey statue outside the main entrance, the pink roses on the ceiling in the spa treatment rooms or the wall of clocks in the hotel reception. Gone are the days of the stuffy old posh hotels with dinner jackets and dresses at dinner. Homewood is firmly in the 21st century – relaxed and friendly without subtracting any of the high standards demanded of a luxury hotel.
