Opening its doors on Wednesday, October 1, Mad Swans is set to become the must-visit countryside retreat in the Mendips. Located just outside Midsomer Norton and a short drive from Bath and Bristol, this expansive venue combines eco-friendly accommodation, exceptional dining, and an array of sports and leisure activities.
Golf enthusiasts and beginners alike will find joy in the stunning 12-hole golf course, designed by Mackenzie & Ebert—the acclaimed architects behind prestigious courses like Royal Portrush, Royal St George’s, and Turnberry. Whether you want to enjoy a quick six-hole game, try all twelve, or take on a full eighteen, the flexible golfing options cater to every pace and skill level.
Culinary delights await at Mad Swans’ two dining venues. The Potting Shed offers a refined menu crafted by multi-Michelin Star chef Ollie Dabbous, featuring creative twists on classic countryside dishes made with premium local produce. For more casual fare, visitors can relax at the Hangout, a welcoming spot perfect for laid-back meals and socializing.
