Anyone for cricket? Babington House's posh digs and picturesque grounds will have you reveling in the delights of English country living.
EXPERIENCE
You're sitting in an English garden, waiting for the sun to slip down the sky so you can enjoy a rousing match on Babington House's grass tennis court. A few hours ago you awoke refreshed beneath the exposed beams of your room at the Coach House, next door to the stately Main House of this private club and 23-suite hotel. A hearty breakfast at House Kitchen, and then it was off to the charmingly named Cowshed Relax spa for a massage and a dip in the pool.
If you're a late riser, English breakfast is served all day at Babington House, whose accommodations include family-sized suites. Before or after savoring a seasonal prix-fixe dinner, you may find yourself sipping a gin and tonic at the comfy House Bar or taking in a film at the 45-seat cinema.
In such a bucolic setting, you'll be tempted to stray from the 18-acre grounds and go exploring the green Somerset countryside. There are bicycles for guests, and staff will also be happy to find you a horse. Jolly good fun.
