Location
Newton Surmaville Manor is on the outskirts of the traditional market town of Yeovil in the south of Somerset, very near the border with Dorset.
Set in a valley with the River Yeo running through it, the manor is ideal for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The rivers and ponds are filled with newts, water voles and otters; the woodlands are home to deer, foxes and badgers; and buzzards, kingfishers, and other birdlife patrol the skies.
There are plenty of activities to enjoy on the grounds of the manor. Guests can enjoy a game of quintessentially British croquet whilst sipping on a glass of Pimms, try their hand at archery or clay pigeon shooting, or go kayaking, paddle boarding, or fishing on the river.
In the surrounding areas, visitors can wander through vast wildflower meadows, visit other historic manors and heritage-listed buildings, or enjoy a tour and tasting at Thatcher’s Cider farm.
The area also has several noteworthy historic sites, including Stonehenge, Wells Cathedral, Montacute House & Gardens, Sherborne Castle, and the 95-mile-long Jurassic Coast.
Next door to the manor is the 27-hole Yeovil Golf Club, or for younger guests, there is an entertainment venue offering bowling, arcade and table games, and a cinema.

Yeovil Golf Club – 8 minutes’ drive
