Babington house is one of our favorites for a quick weekend away or a hide away mid week. Somerset just glorious in the Autumn for long ambles, upland game shoots, and lounging about…..

An 18 acre Georgian estate in the heart of Somerset, Babington House is perfect for those who want to enjoy the traditional English countryside but aren’t prepared to compromise on urban luxuries. It is just a two and a half hour drive from London or an hour and 20 minutes by train to Bath Spa.
