I stayed for the night and dined at the restaurant for dinner. The whole stay was excellent. The food was really good, especially the morning breakfast! The rooms are clean and really comfortable, and the building has a nice lounge area and garden. Would strongly recommend for a cosy getaway!

Wow, the food here packs a massive punch, I did the Sunday lunch was was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. The portions were huge and I really wish I lived closer so I could try the tasting menu. It’s a wonderful place to eat.

We had a phenomenal lunch here. The dishes were truly outstanding and prepared with such finesse and skill. The flavours were outstanding and clearly carefully thought out. The plaice in particular was especially impressive and was so delicate and light. The ambience was calm and beautiful. There is lovely attention to detail in terms of the decor. We were served by Rachel who was extremely kind, helpful and knowledgeable. She really made a fantastic experience even better.

We loved our stay at Holm. The service was excellent and the team looked after us so well. They were also very family friendly, setting up a fold-out bed and a crib in our room and making dinner for our children. And of course the food was delicious – both the Chef’s Menu and A La Carte were excellent dining experiences with a lovely ambience in the restaurant. We’ll be staying there again and will be recommending to friends.

Our first visit to HOLM was absolutely fantastic. We had the chef’s tasting menu, and every mouthful was perfection - beautifully balanced, creative, and full of flavour. The service was warm and attentive, and the space itself is modern and stylish without feeling cold. We stayed in the Ash room, which was beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable. From start to finish, the staff were welcoming and friendly. A truly special experience - we’ll definitely be back soon.

Incredible boutique hotel run by a brilliant and very talented team. With beautifully designed rooms in suitably beautiful surroundings… if you want a real taste of Somerset, this is the place: We recently stayed here for 2 nights and it was one of the best hospitality experiences I’ve ever had. My girlfriend has a complicated medical history after lots of bowel surgeries which usually means she misses out on being able to eat at the nice restaurants, but not here… Chef Nicolas is an incredible talent in the kitchen and cares deeply about each and every guest - he went out of his way each day to run through the menu and adapted where needed so we could both enjoy a full menu of his amazing food. We were also invited to join a chefs table dinner on our first night which was a real highlight, so much amazing food being cooked right in front of you. If you visit, you must try and book this! And of course all the basics were brilliant too - free parking at the bottom of the garden (with EV charging!), clean rooms, lovely bathroom products and even some freshly baked snacks in the room on arrival. Big thanks to all the Holm team who were so generous and thoughtful during our stay, you made it very special for us. PS - whatever you do, don’t skip breakfast - the bacon was out of this world…

We stopped here for a night en-route from Devon to London (it is a perfect layover). We have stopped for lunch here twice before but we were delighted with the dinner - terrific cooking with some very inventive dishes. The room, as well, was extremely comfortable. We look forward to returning in the not too distant future. Thanks Nicholas and all the excellent team at Holm.

The word "unique" is widely used these days but for the Holm, it is exactly the right description. And with the Holm, it is all about the people who run it - everyone was so friendly and professional. And then there is the food - WOW, what a delightful experience- thank you Nicholas & team. We will be back for more!!

A delightful surprise! I called in here on the off-chance this afternoon after I was recommended Holm by a friend. I’m not from the Somerset area and hadn’t heard of it. Anyway, I discovered that the set lunch menu was still available and decided to dive in. I was not disappointed! The trout mousse with the gorgeous grilled sourdough and rocket salad was scrumptious; this was followed by the Roscoff onion tart with stilton cream mousse and charred Hispi cabbage. Divine. I told the lovely Dutch waitress that it was the nicest onion tart I think I’ve ever had. This was all accompanied by some very local Somerset cider. I finished the meal with coffee and indulgent petit fours. If I’m in the area again, I will most definitely call in again. Thank you for a delightful culinary experience.

Holm is many things, we were sampling their truly excellent food... which was everything we wanted and more. The tasting menu was a superb collection of dishes with a wide variety of interesting and unusual ingredients. Exciting and intriguing. The service was excellent too, the staff quick, attentive but not intrusive. So well trained, skilled and knowledgeable a delight! The restaurant itself is very modern and sort of Skandi contemporary but comfortable and not too noisy. All in all a delightful place to eat delightful food served by delightful people!

Loved our stay here. The village is beautifully peaceful and Holm itself is a delight. We enjoyed an evening meal of creative food which was plentiful without being too heavy. The service was the best - informative and attentive yet relaxed. We weren't rushed and had our table for nearly 3 hours. Great atmosphere and the rooms were excellent too. The following morning we had a very special cooked breakfast before heading back to our concrete city and re-evaluating our lives. We'll be back - thank you!

Very tasty fine cuisine. We had the tasting menu (don't think there's another choice). Everything tasted rich and wonderful. The portions were just right, not massive, which suited us (don't wanna end really full and sleeping poorly after). Service was ok, great atmosphere. The only dish we weren't that keen on were the petit fours, just not that inspired. Would recommend!

Holm is the sort of place that you want to shout about how beautifully perfect the whole experience is, but at the same time you want to keep it your own little secret in the hope that it doesn’t become so busy you can never book a room or a table! 🤭 I’m sure after the recent exposure from the Great British Menu, it will continue to go from strength to strength which is what Nicholas and his team undoubtedly deserve. If you want an experience where you come away feeling well rested, well fed and looked after from the minute you step through the door, then you won’t go wrong booking a stay/meal here. From the genuine attention to detail from all the team (without it feeling stuffy or over the top), the knowledge and use of local produce/independent suppliers, and the care and attention that goes into making every dish, I challenge you not to come away feeling ‘heartful’ and like you already want to book another stay! Thank you for another lovely weekend - it’s a good job I don’t live too close by as my waistline would be in serious jeopardy…that Haggis sausage roll would be lethal! 😍

The food was great, but unfortunately the accommodation and service was lacking. Our room didn’t have hot water for the one night stay, and despite asking for someone to fix it (4 times, 3 different people) not only did no one follow up with us, but by morning it wasn’t fixed. We emailed afterwards, and that has also been ignored. A shame.

We visited after reading good reviews, and came away really impressed. The town is small but a bit of a hidden gem, and this place is a fantastic addition. We did a Sunday lunch and the food was excellent, really nice touches in all the dishes - elevated but not overly fancy. Service was very friendly, and the dining area was roomier than expected (not trying to squeeze people in which I hate) and had a buzzy atmosphere. We will definitely visit again next time we are in the area.

We had lunch at Holm on Saturday, 21st December. Not only was the service impeccable, but nothing was too much trouble, including my daughter's dietary needs. The food was incredible, I would especially recommend the cod with the bone broth. It was delicious, again if you wanted to mix & match veg or desserts they were accommodating and did everything they could tp make your experience special. All those and excellent value for money, too. Parking was a little tricky & we had to walk from the far end of the main street, but it was well worth it. This may be something people with reduced mobility should consider.

Holm was a great experience! The hotel is very nice and the staff are lovely. The food is superb and served in portions one can enjoy without having to miss dessert (due to over-eating). It’s an experience, and I for one want to go back again - soon! One thing to note is that there’s no hotel parking, due to its location, but there’s a nearby free car park.

Just back from a great weekend away at HOLM in South Petherton. This is your quintessential trendy restaurant with stylish rooms in rural idyll type place. The food in the restaurant is good. It’s taster menu only - an experience - and as you would expect of this kind of foodie place, the dishes are rich and experimental. We didn’t love all of them but the potato soup with ragout and the duck main were very very good. The rooms are stylish and minimalist and perfectly comfortable. The staff are attentive and friendly. The surrounding village and wider area really is a beautiful part of the world. If you are looking for a romantic getaway with a partner or group of friends I’d thoroughly recommend HOLM.

I can’t say our experience here was terrible, but it was far from exceptional or outstanding. Which, for the price and following other 5* reviews was really disappointing. The menu was uninspiring, and the dishes were tiny - we went home hungry! I think you need to advise people when booking that it is a chef tasting menu only, at £69 per person we probably wouldn’t have booked. Also awful wine, maybe a bad choice but it was recommended by staff, I couldn’t drink it. Sorry, lovely setting and staff but I would not recommend anyone here. Some of the local pubs offer better quality food than we tasted here. I can’t help question whether other reviews are even real, I have eaten in some exceptional, memorable restaurants - but this falls far from hitting that mark.

This is a restaurant whose team has a clear vision of what they want their diners to experience. Luckily for the diners, they have the skill to achieve it, and I have no doubts their ambition will lead to awards. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the culinary journey of tastes and textures that the Chef's Menu took us on. From arrival, we felt warmly welcomed, and the smiling and enthusiastic front of house staff were a plus to the ambience all evening. The service was never rushed, and at no point were we left waiting for the next dish. Each course came timely and was a fresh mouthwatering vision. The menu changes weekly according to what is in season and at its best, which also means new experiences for regular visitors. Every dish we had would be a highlight elsewhere, but on this evening the standouts for us were the cured trout with peas and elderflower, that was like a stroll through an English garden, and the Hogget, with yogurt and red pepper. Each of the three hogget portions showed a different way to highlight the extra flavour that comes from this older meat, and each succeeded, but the belly portion was a true revelation. As well as each dish being well balanced, the overall effect of all the small portioned courses left us both fully satisfied, with smiles of contentment that are still there two evenings later. Little touches throughout the evening reminded me of Michelin Starred restaurants I visited last year in Italy, and I would not be surprised if Holm were to join them in the next issue. The final thoughtful touch was on the bill. There was no charge for the still or sparkling water we requested for the table, instead a £1 donation to Water Aid was the perfect final touch of feel-good seasoning. We have already recommended Holm to friends and family and will definitely be returning soon. Our thanks for a memorable evening. Two nights on we are still smiling about our experiences, as the memory of the flavours linger, as well as telling all our friends and family to visit. We're both looking forward to our next culinary journey with you.

The food here was really nice but not outstanding. The ingredients were amazing and the food was delicate and fresh and we did enjoy it, there were just a few things which could have been better. The cod came with one tiny piece of leek - it would have been nice to have some more vegetables. The pink fir potatoes we ordered as a side were burnt to a crisp and practically inedible. We wish we had sent them back after we saw that other tables had lovely golden brown potatoes. The lemon posset wasn't great as it hadn't set. I wouldn't recommend friends go here. Sadly it missed the mark.

The guys at Holm very generously invited my wife and I back after learning that our previous visit didn't live up to our expectations. I am glad to report that this visit absolutely blew us away. We opted for the chefs tasting menu again, and wow! Every course was perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and left us exited for the next course. The waiting staff were extremely attentive and spent time explaining each dish as it came out, even head chef Nicholas Balfe came to talk to us and also offered an explanation as to why our previous visit may not have lived up to expectations. We very much appreciated this from Nicholas as it proves that not only is he a very talented chef, but he also sees customer satisfaction as an important element with the Holm dining experience. We are very much looking forward to returning and would thoroughly recommend a visit .

Stunningly exceptional. Highly recommend. Super friendly dedicated staff. We stayed one night and had the tasting menu (vegetarian version) and everything was high quality and extremely tasty. Locals at the Bloom wine bar earlier in the evening (also lovely) said the signature cheddar fries were like nothing else, so we added an extra side of those, which were well worth it - very generous portion and you can't quite pin point how the potato concoction is so light! We stayed in the cheapest room, Juniper, but it was more than spacious enough. The aesthetic is on point - chic, quiet luxury. Homemade cookies in the room are such a nice touch and robes were an unexpected extra. The one small thing to note with this room is that it's window is right above a staff door so you can hear general chatter a lot of the time. It didn't bother us as we weren't in the room a lot and had a late 8.30 sitting at dinner, but other guests might prefer another room. The breakfast the next morning was also delightful, choice is essentially made for you and everything was delicious, and who doesn't love a breakfast dessert!? The only other small room for improvement would be a dedicated space for check-in and check-out and a flow for guests coming down from their rooms for dinner as the corridor where staff are picking up food from the open kitchen is a little awkward/tight/not obvious where you should stand/wait. We want another excuse to go back!

We were given a voucher for Holm as a Christmas gift and we spent a wonderful weekend there recently. We arrived just as the kitchen team had sat down to eat (the restaurant closes for a couple of hours in the afternoon) but they still made us feel so welcome. The rooms are absolutely flawless - all the comfort of a luxury hotel but without all the clutter. Bathrooms are beautiful (ours even had a window - when do you see that in a hotel?!), beds are super comfy. The food in the restaurant is the star of the show; we ordered everything on the a la carte menu and it was all flawless. Regrettably we couldn't squeeze in the tasting menu but will allow extra time when next we visit. Which will hopefully be very soon.

Holm is a very special place. Clearly, everything about this restaurant with rooms has been meticulously and creatively thought out. Occupying a beautiful Ham stone building in the centre of the village, Holm has a spacious, modern restaurant on the ground floor and two floors of rooms above, together with a studio for residents to relax in. Our elegant room was well designed and very comfortable. The food is exceptional; interesting, subtle and delicious. Served by efficient and friendly staff, our dinner and breakfast were beautifully presented. Holm is definitely a place to visit if you are in this part of the country.

I recently enjoyed a delicious lunch at HOLM Somerset - off the beaten track but definitely worth coming off the A303 for!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Holm with my husband, as well as staying overnight in Ash. It was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The combination of impeccable service, modern décor, and inventive cuisine made for an unforgettable evening. The modern décor lent an air of sophistication while still maintaining a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. It was evident that every detail had been carefully curated to enhance our dining experience. The service at Holm was truly exceptional. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, offering insightful recommendations without ever feeling overbearing. They struck the perfect balance between attentiveness and allowing diners to enjoy their meal uninterrupted and went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our evening. The menu was the perfect showcase for the chef's skill and creativity. It was evident that they made the most of seasonal and local produce, as each ingredient was fresh and bursting with flavor. The menu featured a array of inventive dishes that kept me eagerly anticipating each course. Overall, my experience at Holm exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend it highly enough and we have already booked to return!

Now this a really great place! Just done a 2 dinner, 2 night bundle and HOLM delivers a very good resto-&-rooms experience. The expert staff were a big part of this. Both the Chef's tasting menu & breakfast were top notch. The former waaay better experience than at L'Enclume, where the 5+ hour timing might suit the kitchen, but NOT these diners. HOLM got it just right with great dishes (nod to trout & blood orange) plus the tempo was spot on. To avoid this looking like a snow job, the loft room was lovely, but the 40+ steps less so, even the dog got vertigo! We will be back as it is really warm & welcoming place both to dine & stay.

Service was great, food was out of this world fantastic - from sides to mains to dessert, and some really nice wines. 10/10 They have both a tasting Chef's menu and an a la carte. If you're wanting to come for the tasting menu, I wouldn't even look at the other menu as it gets almost too difficult to choose then. Especially as their menus change regularly. Would absolutely recommend.

Great food here and comfortable rooms. Lovely little town of South Petherton, all honey coloured stone. There's not much to do locally but the food and accommodation are worth the visit. Saying that, NT Montacute House and Barrington Court are nearby.

Absolutely fantastic stay and dining experience! Nicholas and the entire HOLM team are, simply put, wonderful. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived and were greeted by Nicholas. The check-in process was a breeze, the room (Elm) was beautiful, spacious and charming, and our dinner and breakfast dining experiences were sublime. Nicholas puts such great care and attention to sourcing for the restaurant, and it shows. Despite being up incredibly late the previous night for dinner service, Nicholas and the entire HOLM team were right back at it bright and early to prepare an exceptional breakfast. Everything about our stay was memorable, and we cannot wait to return. Cheers to HOLM for creating such an amazing destination. Everyone should run to book a stay and take in the entire experience!

HOLM is stunning. We stayed two nights in the Elm room, which was just dreamy. Beautifully decorated with loads of lovely touches, an incredible bathroom and a huge bath tub in the room. Luxury! We took the chefs tasting menu for dinner and it was incredible. All the staff are lovely. Breakfast is something else too!

We were treated by our children for our anniversary dinner. We had the chef's taster menu and the accompanying different alcoholic drinks; cider, white red wine etc. All was a delight. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Luxurious rooms and food. The rooms are brand new and beautiful, with great natural light, comfortable beds, subtle details and a tranquil atmosphere that make for a relaxing stay. The food at Holm is world class and is led by chef Nicholas Balfe, whom alongside his team creates fresh, seasonal and imaginative food, with the menu constantly changing. This restaurant is a must visit, and an absolute destination for anyone looking for innovative, sustainable and most importantly delicious food.

Recently had best dinner of the last year here (chef’s tasting menu - knockout alouette potatoes, peppery venison, insane apple choux bun, and more). Amazing service and great value given the wizardry in the kitchen. Stayed the night too in very comfortable and stylish rooms. Again, excellent value and brilliant all-round experience. 👏💪😇

I never leave revues. But I absolutely love this place! The food is always exceptional! I’ve never had the same dish twice. They change their menu very frequently and only serve the best seasonal ingredients. The interior is beautiful, very nice atmosphere, super nice staff and a lovely outside space in the summer. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Every time I've eaten here the food has been delicious and with a changing menu you never have to order the same thing twice. The staff are knowledgeable and brilliant hosts. Already looking forward to our next visit.

We visited for an anniversary dinner and it was perfect. All staff members (including chefs) were very friendly and welcoming. The food was exquisite and the service was wonderful. The decor and overall feel of the restaurant were both fabulous. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness and attentiveness of staff. I’m so glad we chose to celebrate here. Thank you.

This is such a gem in the middle of a small village. Had visited the founding chefs restaurants in London a few times and HOLM did not disappoint. It was a very quiet lunch service, the food and waiting staff were excellent. The drinks selection top quality. We had the set menu, great value and really top level cooking. I would be going out of my way to come here and looking forward to coming back again.

What an absolutely wonderful evening. We will definitely be returning. The dining room is relaxed and elegant. The food was exceptional. Seriously delicious and generous. The service was thoughtful and light-hearted. It all just felt like a good balance. They brought us some Westcombe cheddar fries while we were waiting to order - they were unbelievable! Just wow! My grilled octopus was smoky, sweet, succulent and indulgent. Perhaps it was hungry, but this was probably one of the best things i've ever tasted! The pork with nduja and sweetcorn was brilliantly satisfying and tasty. Then the rum baba desert with peach and yoghurt sorbet WOWOW. So damn good.

Absolutely sublime. Food and service were excellent. Astounding value for money. My wife and I went off to change our very poopy baby as the starters came out, and they very kindly remade my wife's starter so it was hot.

It felt like the food concepts were really great but the taste didn’t quite meet the mark. Service was a little slow on drinks - we waited a long time for the first round, and then reordered just as the mains were coming out and the drink didn’t arrive until after we’d finished our mains. The staff were really friendly though so this is somewhere that could be great but just needs a bit of polishing on taste and attentive service in my opinion (looking out for empty glasses for example). We had the Chedder fries, olives, crab & asparagus (nice but it would’ve been nicer as a creamier crab mix with the asparagus on top/surrounding rather than mixed through), Isle of Wight tomatoes, pappardelle (again ‘nice’ but a thicker sauce probably would’ve worked better - mushrooms very tasty).

A rough and ready cafe where you might be the only person who doesn't speak Portuguese. However staff were friendly and the food was exceptional. Meat skewers to die for and the only decent espresso for miles around. Check out their Facebook page to see what the menue is for each day.

Olga's cooking is out of this world. We had the Garden Breakfast which is a full veggie breakfast with the works. The plate was full of delicious items, each one seasoned fully and each taste was different and remarkable. Plus you can buy her vegan cook book. A really gem.

Such a cute little cafe, very reasonable prices. Came here with my friend for his birthday, we had a coffee a little bite to eat and a tea, we sat outside it was so nice! Defo be back.

Having a short break near Shepton Mallet I found this place on Google to satisfy my Friday night curry fix. Not an easy thing to do given that we had the dog with us. It's an unusual place, which is a bit of an understatement. The kitchen and the bar being two separate business in a shared pub. A pub that seemingly dates back to the middle ages, along with everything else in Bruton. It's a fascinating town. The menu, although claiming Persian cuisine caters for everyone. You order and pay for your drinks in the pub and your food at the kitchen door. Friendly, obliging staff are more than happy to help with the menu. The wife and I opting for the Persian curry which we enjoyed but obviously somewhat different to our usual. There are a couple of other curry options which will have to wait for another day. No 'Indian' starters, poppadoms etc but given the size of the meal you don't need them. The rice and flatbread were very good, and I could have done without the salad, but when in Rome. Prices are very good considering and it's well worth looking up for something a bit different. It might not suit everyone but I would be more than happy to go back. Parking on the street I guess could be problematic at times.
