Ston Easton Park
A superb Palladian mansion set in one of the West Country’s most romantic estates, Ston Easton Park is an historic country house hotel that exudes elegance, warmth and comfort. Log fires burn, comfortable antique furniture and exquisite paintings beckon, evoking memories of a more leisured age and providing a welcome you might associate with a magnificent private country house.
Apart from staying in such historic and luxurious accommodation, Ston Easton Park offers one of the best wedding venues in the Bath area.
The parkland at Ston Easton Park is now the only remaining Humphry Repton landscape in Somerset. His ‘Red Book’, a facsimile demonstrating his plans in ‘before’ and ‘after’ stages, illustrated in wonderful watercolours, can be found in the hotel reception.
Whether you’d prefer to take a leisurely stroll along the cascading River Norr, or an invigorating walk through the wooded parkland to the old Ice House, there’s a great deal to see and enjoy, and the house spaniel, Oscar, would be delighted to join you. You might even be treated to the beautiful sight of the three resident deer roaming the grounds, as well as many other wild animals along the way.
It’s an exciting time in the Ston Easton Park gardens with an amazing atmosphere of promise and potential that pervades the park. Christin and the team intend to maintain these glorious gardens with careful replanting to ensure delightful vistas for years to come.
