A Regency country house hotel set on a hillside above the Somerset Levels with panoramic views to Exmoor and Dartmoor, The Mount Somerset combines classical interiors with one of the most expansive landscape panoramas available from any south-west wedding venue.

We are drawn to places where the landscape does as much work as the interiors, and this Regency country house hotel offers both in abundance. Those wide, open views and the classical character of the building create the kind of layered, naturally photogenic backdrop that we find genuinely exciting to work with. It is absolutely a venue we would love to bring our cameras to.
