The Laurels is a historical gem nestled in the Somerset countryside. This beautiful estate, designed by renowned architect Hans Price in 1874, stands as a testament to Victorian elegance and architectural beauty. Originally built as a grand gift from Mr. Gill to his beloved wife, the house boasts a rich history, having been home to a handful of families over the past century.

In 1999, The Laurels was acquired by the Mead family in a run down state, with crumbling walls and a collapsing roof. Their dedication to preserving and revitalising this historic property spanned over four to five years, transforming it into a stunning house that honoured its Victorian heritage, in keeping with the time. The most recent refurbishment, taking place between 2022-2024 has seen a modernisation of the property, utilising the natural light, adding a more contemporary feel suitable for both family and corporate stays.

At The Laurels, we believe in pampering both body and soul. Immerse yourself in our array of facilities designed to rejuvenate and revitalize. Dive into our indoor heated swimming pool, unwind in the sauna, or challenge yourself in our fully equipped gym. For those seeking adventure, our outdoor activity center beckons with high ropes courses, seasonal rowing, and immersive team-building experiences.
