You’ll Be Able To Stay Overnight At Farm-To-Table Restaurant Osip From June

Restaurants-with-rooms are popping up in all of the UK’s trendiest countryside hotspots, and now Bruton is getting in on the action. Merlin Labron-Johnson’s Michelin-starred Somerset eatery Osip has announced a launch date for its new accommodation, with four bedrooms set to open at the venue on 10 June 2025.

First Look At Osip’s New Bedrooms

The original Osip opened within the Number One Bruton hotel in 2019, quickly gaining a Michelin Star followed by a Green Michelin Star – an accolade given to restaurants with impressive environmental credentials. A few years later, it reopened as a standalone restaurant within an 18th-century building previously owned by Hauser & Wirth. And now, for the latest step forward in its journey, the venue has launched on-site accommodation.

Four rooms will be available to book from this June, sat above the restaurant and named after rivers in Somerset – Avon, Brue, Somer and Pitt. Featuring interiors from Johnny Smith (Creative Director of Smith & Willis), the bedrooms will continue Osip’s minimalist, English country aesthetic with a cosy feel. Think neutral, woody tones, exposed beams, oak floors and handmade jute rugs, plus bedside tables made from locally felled trees. The Avon and Brue rooms will have their own freestanding bath tubs, while Somer and Pitt will boast walk-in showers – all complete with brass hardware from Studio Ore.

Naturally, great food will continue to be the core focus. Visitors will be welcomed with freshly baked canelés and cider from Maison Osip, and be treated to a complimentary breakfast. Inspired by traditional French inns, the offering will continue Labron-Johnson’s field-to-fork ethos with dishes like black cardamom buns, granola, honey from Osip’s bees, local fresh cheeses, boiled eggs and fruit juices. 

Overnight guests will also secure priority dinner reservations in the restaurant for the night of their stay. The menu is all about spotlighting hyper-seasonal produce, adapting based on the climate, with most of the ingredients grown on Osip’s Dreamer’s Farm down the road.

There’s plenty to explore around the historic market town of Bruton too, from a trip to see Grade-II listed building Dovecote to picking up fresh groceries at Durslade Farm Shop and browsing the Hauser & Wirth gallery.

Born in Devon, Labron-Johnson was immersed in the world of organic farming from a young age. After training as a chef, he spent years working in Michelin-starred restaurants around the world before returning to the UK to launch Portland – which secured a star within nine months, when Labron-Johnson was just 24.
