About Country House Hotels

Mount Somerset - Country House Hotel

Georgian country hotel built in 1805

The Mount Somerset was built in 1805 by an Italian architect. The house lies on the West Country doorstep – rich in wildlife, excellent walking and historic attractions, such as Glastonbury Tor, Bishop’s Palace and Wells Cathedral, but many just choose to sit and just take in the spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.

The hotel holds most of its original craftsmanship, which has been preserved to blend with the décor and lavish furnishings. High ceilings, large windows and a sweeping circular staircase create a feeling of elegance and great character and it feels much more of a home than a hotel. The spacious lounge is wonderfully bright and sunny, ideal for afternoon tea by one of the real log fireplaces or settling down with a book.

Both the dining room and garden room, with its French doors opening onto a sunny terrace, create the perfect setting to relax and let the world drift by. The baby grand piano provides jazz and classical performances, which all add to an atmosphere in which guests can relax, confident that all needs will be catered for.
