Outside, there is a pretty courtyard garden, an ideal place to sit with a refreshing drink on a pleasant summer’s day.

Nearby Frome is a charming village with a variety of events, vintage shops, art galleries and independent shops and cafes. There are also a number of individual workshops where you can peruse the local wares. Bruton is home to the Hauser & Wirth Somerset gallery and arts centre which is a must see, and while there why not visit the on-site restaurant which serves locally sourced food.
