Boutique hotel.Lively. Lovely interior design. Nestled in 20 acres of the serene Somerset countryside, Homewood Bath is the ultimate staycation destination. Eclectic, luxurious and slightly eccentric; think grand Georgian country house and grounds filled with creative artworks. Homewood is firmly in the 21st century - relaxed and friendly without subtracting any of the high standards demanded of a luxury hotel. Locally sourced produce is at the heart of their restaurant 'Olio', with a large proportion of veggies used throughout the menu being grown on-site at their 'No-Dig Kitchen Garden'. Ultra-modern indulgences are a must including their spa which boasts a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room and heated outside hot tub swimming pool with unbroken views of the valley.. Gone are the days of the stuffy old posh hotels with dinner jackets and dresses at dinner. Olio encapsulates the very best of British food with a unique Mediterranean twist. Whether enjoying a feast in the dashing dining domes, indulging in their famous afternoon tea or an amorous Sunday roast with all the trimmings, the emphasis is always on sustainable, often hedgerow fresh ingredients, with a proud, local provenance.Show full description
