The details

Tone Dale House has been hosting unforgettable gatherings since 1797, offering the perfect setting for big celebrations, family reunions, milestone birthdays and special weekends away in the Somerset countryside. One of its standout features is its flexibility: you can hire the Main House on its own, sleeping up to 21 guests across 11 bedrooms and eight bathrooms, or add The Stables to increase capacity to 31 guests across a total of 16 bedrooms. Better still, The Stables are never let separately, ensuring the entire estate and grounds remain exclusively yours throughout your stay.

Set within four acres of private landscaped gardens, this magnificent former mill owner's mansion blends period grandeur with modern comforts. The house has been welcoming guests for decades and remains one of Somerset's most popular large-group retreats. Whether you're planning a lively celebration or a relaxed gathering with loved ones, you'll find plenty of space to spread out, socialise and create lasting memories.

The heart of the house is its collection of elegant reception rooms. The spacious kitchen features a central island where guests can gather while meals are prepared, while a well-equipped back kitchen offers additional fridges, freezers, dishwashers and practical amenities for larger groups. For meals together, choose between the light-filled Breakfast Room, adorned with original William Morris wallpaper, or the impressive Red Dining Room, which is ideal for celebratory feasts and special occasions.

After dinner, retire to the grand Drawing Room, where comfortable sofas, antiques, family portraits and a roaring log fire create a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. For entertainment, head to the enormous Long Room, where you'll find table tennis, pool and table football, or make your way to the air-conditioned Party Room. Complete with integrated sound and lighting systems and a large screen, it's equally suited to lively discos, movie nights or presentations for corporate retreats.

Accommodation in the Main House is spread across 11 characterful bedrooms, each reflecting a different chapter of the property's fascinating history. Seven bedrooms occupy the first floor, including several with ensuite facilities, while the charming Old Laundry suite offers vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a galleried seating area. Additional bedrooms can be found on the second floor, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for larger groups.

Should you require extra space, The Stables provide accommodation for a further 10 guests across five comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. Guests staying here can enjoy a quiet morning coffee before joining the rest of the group in the Main House for meals, celebrations and entertainment.

Outside, four acres of gardens provide plenty of room for outdoor fun. Play croquet or badminton on the lawns, stroll beside the mill stream or sink into the large hot tub with a drink in hand as you soak up the peaceful surroundings. With ample indoor and outdoor space, Tone Dale House effortlessly caters for groups whatever the weather.

When it's time to explore, Somerset offers plenty of attractions nearby. Ride the historic West Somerset Railway through beautiful countryside, climb Glastonbury Tor for panoramic views, or discover the dramatic landscapes of Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole. Families will love visits to Tropiquaria, Crealy Adventure Park and Quad World, while those seeking culture can spend afternoons exploring National Trust treasures such as Knightshayes, Killerton and Cothay Manor. And no visit to Somerset would be complete without sampling a glass of local cider at nearby Sheppy's.
