Rooms with glorious views

MICHELIN-STARRED Osip will be opening four rooms above its restaurant from June 2025.

The restaurant, based in Bruton, is owned and run by chef Merlin Labron-Johnson (pictured inset) and focuses predominantly on vegetables that he has grown on a nearby farm as well as wild herbs and local game.

‘There is no menu offered but the kitchen cooks a sequence of dishes for each diner based on what has arrived from the farm that morning. The accommodation, which will be known as ‘The Rooms, will further Merlin’s vision of Osip as a holistic dining destination, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the restaurant’s field-to-plate philosophy, and explore new ways to interact with the surrounding land throughout their stay.

Designed by Johnny Smith (Creative Director of Smith & Willis), the bedrooms will blend quiet minimalism with luxury handcrafted finishes that connect the guest to the West Country landscape - including a neighbouring pine forest, grazing fields and farms - whilst remaining sympathetic to the heritage of the 17th century coaching inn.
