If the English countryside had a dress code, this summer it would be clad in Burberry.

In a partnership as charming as it is impeccably styled, Burberry has teamed up with The Newt in Somerset—the award-winning estate-meets-experience in the heart of rural England—to celebrate the essence of a great British summer. The result is part design immersion, part whimsical escape, and entirely irresistible.

The collaboration launched with a garden-party-worthy dinner at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, setting the tone for a season of storytelling through landscape, craftsmanship, and sartorial heritage. From early June through mid-August, guests of The Newt will find Burberry’s iconic codes stitched—sometimes literally—into the very fabric of the 2,000-acre estate.

This isn’t your average branded takeover. At The Newt, Burberry’s signature check has been reimagined in an earthy estate green, woven into everything from curated installations and guest experiences to the croquet lawn itself—yes, the Burberry Check is mown into the grass.

For those who prefer their leisure with a touch of drama, there’s a Burberry-check hot air balloon drifting over the countryside, an homage to the brand’s history of outfitting aviators and balloonists like Edward Maitland, who flew over 1,000 miles in Burberry gabardine in the early 20th century. It’s heritage, lifted.
Golf buggies decked out in Burberry tartan whisk guests between orchard and spa. The badminton court is kitted out with custom Burberry racquets and a designer net. Even the retail experience is elevated: a pop-up boutique on-site offers a curated edit from Burberry’s Summer 2025 collection, including classic Check swimwear, weather-ready outerwear, and countryside-chic scarves, hats, and umbrellas—just in case the weather forgets it’s summer in Somerset.

It’s a collaboration that makes perfect sense. Both Burberry and The Newt share a reverence for heritage, craftsmanship, and British eccentricity—the kind that mixes handwoven tweed with a perfectly made cocktail, or lines a croquet lawn with couture.

But beyond the branding is a sense of joy. The countryside here isn’t staid—it’s expressive, alive, and full of imagination. There’s a garden-to-table restaurant that actually earns the phrase, a spa infused with botanicals grown on-site, and guest rooms that feel more like staying in the home of your most stylish countryside friend than a traditional hotel. Whether you stay in the storied Hadspen House, a Georgian manor with curated interiors and views across manicured lawns, or opt for the Farmyard’s more secluded, barn-chic vibe, every inch of The Newt is thoughtfully designed and seasonally attuned.
The Check-In You Didn’t Know You Needed

This summer, The Newt isn’t just a destination—it’s a mood board. One that layers countryside serenity with high fashion flair, where heritage is honored but never calcified, and where a Burberry trench is just as appropriate on the croquet lawn as it is at cocktail hour.
In other words: very British, very now, and very worth the detour.
The Newt in Somerset is located at Hadspen, A359, Bruton BA7 7NG
