Nature-based stays in Somerset shaped by water, woodland & slow living
a unique retreat in nature
Oakhill Ponds is set across 25 acres in Somerset, where spring-fed ponds, wildflower meadows and an 18th-century grotto create a rare sense of place.
Here nature has a say - and so does imagination.
Stay in handcrafted shepherd’s huts, Lotus Belle tents, the Walled Garden & Yurt or Upper Beeches apartment, or gather together for a whole-site stay shaped by firelight, wild swimming and the natural world.
