Oakhill Ponds

Making space for attention, imagination and wonder - rooted in the elements

Oakhill Ponds is shaped by two spring-fed ponds - an 18th-century grotto and the surrounding woodland and meadows. Water is at the heart of its story — springs, ponds, waterfalls and the flow — with limestone, grottoes and traces of old quarrying woven into its layered history.

There are 25 acres, designed for small retreats, gatherings and stays close to nature. It offers an atmosphere that sparks imagination. Guests come to swim, read, write, take sauna and gather in small groups - finding depth, creativity and renewal in the rhythm of the land.

Oakhill Ponds is a breathing space in Somerset - elemental, creative and alive with possibility.
