Newton Farm is exceptionally well suited to large families or groups, offering generous space and a layout that allows everyone to be together without feeling crowded. With multiple living areas and a flexible bedroom arrangement, it works particularly well for multi-generational stays, helped further by the inclusion of a downstairs bedroom and shower room.
The heart of the house is the spacious kitchen-dining room, which naturally brings everyone together. Its large island, substantial dining table and wood burner make it ideal for long, sociable meals, while doors opening onto the patio mean the space works just as well in summer as it does in winter.
For relaxation, the farmhouse strikes a perfect balance between character and comfort. The main sitting room feels warm and inviting with its feature fireplace and cosy wood burner, while the separate games room gives children and teenagers their own space, helping adults properly switch off.
Outside, the large garden is a real highlight. Children have plenty of room to play safely, dogs can enjoy the open space, and adults can make the most of the BBQ and hot tub for relaxed outdoor living. It’s a property that genuinely encourages time outdoors as well as in.
Practicalities are well covered too. Good WiFi, multiple TVs and easy access from across the country — with Taunton just 25 minutes away — make Newton Farm straightforward and comfortable for longer stays.
A particularly special advantage is the inclusion of daily private swimming during your stay. Guests can enjoy two hours each full day in a heated indoor pool nearby, maintained at 30°C, making it an ideal, weather-proof activity for families with children and a rare added benefit that sets Newton Farm apart.

Our Philosophy
We are surrounded by stunning countryside and nestled between Exmoor national park and the Quantock Hills an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Our philosophy is to make the Lavender Hill Holidays as eco friendly as possible. We recognise we have a long way to go to be totally eco but each year we try to reduce our carbon footprint and increase our biodiversity.
Enviroment
We have tried to insulate the properties as much as possible. We also have a wood burning stove in each property and all our wood is seasoned and sustainably sourced.
Transport
We are very keen to promote the use of bikes and public transport for holidays with us. We realise that it is hard to access us without a car, but the train system is very good to Taunton and if you have bought your own bikes we will pay for an electric taxi to Halse. We are aiming to rent out electric bikes.
Supporting Local Businesses
We are very keen on encouraging our visitors to support the many and varied local businesses we have in the local area. We buy all the hamper products from local farm shops and the excellent Taunton farmers market.
We have great local pubs and cafes and encourage as much support as we can. We hope that guests will support the local food and drink businesses as much as possible.
Recycling
We recycle pretty much everything and ask our guest to as well.
Heating
Although we realise that central heating is a must, we do ask that visitors in the winter turn down the radiators instead of leaving them on full with the windows wide open!
In 2013 we converted our exisitng oil boilers which ran the pool and cottages ot a Biomass heating system fuellled by renewable wood chips. Its great to be using this fabulpous Norweigan system and heping our enviroment!
Biodiversity
We are trying to encourage the biodiversity of local fauna and wildlife. As a result we allow the summer grasses and hedgerows to flourish.
