Babington House
A superb Palladian mansion set in one of the West Country's most romantic
estates, Ston Easton Park exudes elegance, warmth and comfort. Log fires
burn, comfortable antique furniture and exquisite paintings beckon, evoking
memories of a more leisured age and providing a welcome you might associate
with a magnificent private country house. There is little that can compare
with the well preserved classicism of Ston Easton Park.
The Library and the magnificent State Rooms are always greatly appreciated
by guests, including one of England's earliest surviving Print Rooms with
its reminders of the grand tours undertaken in the 18th Century. The Palladian
Saloon has been described as 'one of the finest rooms in Somerset' and for
luxury accommodation near Bath or Wells, Ston Easton Park cannot be equalled.
Guests often delight in going 'below stairs' to the Edwardian Kitchen, still
preserved as it was in its Georgian heyday, complete with sparkling copper
pans and cooking facilities of the period.
Set in the idyllic surroundings of the Mendip Hills, the house is surrounded
by thirty six acres of classic parkland, the stunning Victorian kitchen garden
which produces much of the organic produce served in the restaurant, and
the cascading River Norr. Our house spaniel, Sweep will be delighted to take
you on a guided tour and you may be fortunate enough to encounter the resident
deer along the way.
Situated just 11 miles from the historic city of Bath and 15 minutes from
Wells, the smallest city in England, Ston Easton Park is an ideal base for
touring the West Country. A variety of activities can be arranged locally
including a challenging round of golf. Farrington Golf and Country Club is
located adjacent to Ston Easton Park and features an 18 hole championship
course as well as a 9 hole course and a driving range.
