Cedar Falls Health Farm and Centre for Natural Therapy, Taunton

The charm of this historic house is reflected in the individuality of the bedrooms with no two being alike. Each has its own particular design, décor and outlook and each room name reflects the history of the house. All rooms have en-suite facilities, direct dial telephones, tea and coffee making facilities and colour television with some satellite channels. Bedrooms at the front of the house, which include the Connaught category and Churchill suite, have fantastic views over the lawns and garden stretching all the way down to the lakes.

It’s never been more true; You Are What You Eat. Whether you are walking barefoot across the lawns or busy working out in the gym, your appetite will sharpen itself. Delicious buffet style lunches are served every day, together with the option of a freshly cooked meal - perhaps fresh fish or a locally reared cut of meat - a wide choice of salads and fresh fruit to finish. Evening dinner is a chance to dress up a little, treat yourself with some wine and enjoy an unforgettable meal. With the unique ambiance of the panelled dining room, it is the most sublime way to end the healthiest of days. The emphasis at Cedar Falls is always on low calorie, low fat, healthy eating. For those of you who are watching your calorie intake, you can use an easy-to-follow, colour-coded system to show you which dishes are most suitable for a calorie-controlled diet. Bespoke menus catering for a wide range of dietary requirements (including gluten-free) can be prepared to suit any special dietary requirements you might have.

Cedar Falls delivers the unexpected to rework the traditional perception of what a health spa and health farm can offer. As you lay happily cocooned in a body wrap, play a round of golf or simply enjoy a massage, the outside world will seem a million miles away. If you’ve never tried it before, pop down for a sauna and swim just before bedtime and you will be left incredibly relaxed. Don’t worry; we’ll wake you in time for breakfast! There are many different ways to relax at Cedar Falls. The facial and body range treatment options provide everything your senses could desire to restore balance to stressed bodies and minds. We use only the best products including E’SPA, CLARINS AND JESSICA and these are used in treatment rooms that have designed with complete relaxation in mind. In between treatments and therapies, why not curl up and bask in the rays of sunlight that fill the elegant drawing room. This is the perfect setting to enjoy a good book, read the paper or play a game of chess. Sip tea in the light filled conservatory and succumb to the Jacuzzi’s bubbling waters or sit outside on the patio, surrounded by fresh air and watch the rabbits play.

We all know that exercise can improve health and play a part in the prevention of disease. Cedar Falls daily programme of activities are designed for all levels of fitness to provide a type of exercise that will meet your exact needs. Run by highly trained fitness instructors who will take you through the routines, we offer plenty of advice and encouragement and if the going gets tough, some good humour to help you along. On offer is everything from yoga, aerobics, body conditioning and toning, circuit training, tennis, croquet, pool exercises, stretch classes, dance-a-size, fit ball, walking, bums, legs & tums and tai chi. As well as the exercise room Cedar Falls also has an air-conditioned gymnasium equipped with cardio-vascular and resistance training machines. There is also an indoor heated swimming pool and a wonderful whirlpool for those who prefer slightly more gentle exercise.

Cedar Falls means many different things to guests who come back to us time after time. Take time out and join us for relaxation and pampering among our tranquil lawns, magnificent Cedar trees and soothing water features, natural ‘facilities’ which very few health farms can compare. Every detail has been carefully designed to remove all cares and to encourage guests to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of relaxation.

Cedar Falls is surrounded by over 44 acres of immaculate, landscaped grounds with superb outdoor leisure facilities. The marvellous 9 hole, 18 tee, par 3 golf course will challenge the most proficient golfer and its layout maximises the natural obstacles and different gradients of the grounds. There’s also a croquet lawn, tennis court and a heated outdoor swimming pool to enjoy. Nestling in the foot of the Quantock Hills and close to Exmoor, Minehead and Taunton, this Somerset spa is blessed with a truly stunning setting. Ley lines within the grounds might well account for the complete sense of calm and tranquillity. The nostalgic sights and sounds of the West Somerset Steam Railway are close at hand and the grounds are an abundance of colour. Pastel shades of vibrant blossom decorate the multitude of trees, magnolias, wild orchids and rhodedendron bask in the sunshine and each morning there is a spectacular, brilliantly unrehearsed dawn chorus. The lakes are home to Mallard ducks and Canadian geese but also attract herons, green woodpeckers, terrapins and the occasional kingfisher. Playful rabbits are a frequent sight and moles, dormice and voles all visit at different times of the day.
