"The Newt in Somerset, a luxurious hotel nestled between market towns Bruton and Castle Cary in the English countryside. A two-and-a-half hour train ride from London’s Paddington station, The Newt is a hop, skip, and a jump for visitors from the Big Smoke, but it’s not just locals who are sojourning to the majestic estate. Just named one of The World’s 50 Best Hotels in 2023, the 800-acre sprawl of woodland orchards, labyrinthine gardens, and regal architecture has become a global destination." - Lauren Valenti
