BABINGTON HOUSE TURNS 25

This summer, we’re celebrating 25 years of Babington House. Located in a 1705 Grade II-listed manor in the heart of Somerset, Soho House’s original countryside escape first opened its doors in 1998, and has since become a wholesome haven for our members to bed down in.

Babington is home to a quintessentially English take on our signature design across its bedrooms, cabins and lodges – plus some major milestones for both Soho House and our members. It’s the location of our first Cowshed spa, which was literally tucked away in an old cow shed at the bo om of the building (hence the name).

Today, our spas offer treatments around the world, with a philosophy that centres on the therapeutic nature of botanical essential oils. Cowshed products are all made in England, from a variety of organic ingredients, and the signature Cowshed Shelfie Set of 11 hair, bath and body products can be found in all Soho House bedrooms

– providing a relaxing spa experience, whenever you need it.

This summer, we’re celebrating the big anniversary with a series of special events, from pool parties and live music to dedicated member events, including a Glastonbury takeover. Be sure to keep up to date with events and book your Babington House stay via the QR code below.
