Osip, Bruton
Osip is one of the winners of our olive Travel&Taste Awards 2026, find the full list here
Merlin Labron-Johnson’s produce-led restaurant showcases the best of Somerset
Last year, Osip moved from its original home in the heart of Bruton town to a more remote, restored 17th-century coaching inn nearby. Merlin worked with architecture studio Bill Amberg to sensitively restore the characterful building while adding a modern floor-to-ceiling glass kitchen extension.
Guests are welcomed in for a drink – local cider or a tomato martini – before sitting at the minimalist tables surrounding the kitchen. The tasting menu honours the bounty of the local area, with much of the produce even grown on Merlin’s own gardens.
There are just a handful of bedrooms upstairs, sensitively decorated in neutral hues and natural materials. A farmhouse-style breakfast is served downstairs in the morning; expect homemade cardamon buns, organic yogurt and compotes, fresh fruit and local eggs, cheese and bread.

L’Enclume, Lake District
A three-Michelin-starred culinary retreat in the heart of the Lake District
Cartmel is a corner of the UK that's now synonymous with Simon Rogan and his signature cooking style. L’Enclume is the pinnacle of any pilgrimage here – a refined but surprisingly relaxed restaurant that translates the region’s ingredients into masterful dishes. The interiors use materials that are tactile and natural, suiting the balanced tasting menu that heavily relies on Rogan’s biodynamic ‘Our Farm’ and changes daily, depending on the harvest. Some signatures, like the anvil caramel mousse dessert, never leave the menu.
There are 16 elegant bedrooms dotted around town within walking distance of L’Enclume and the chef’s more casual Rogan & Co restaurant. The rooms are very comfortable and each is unique, referencing the historic surroundings with features designed by local craftsmen.

Myse, Hovingham
Myse is one of the winners of our olive Travel&Taste Awards 2026, find the full list here
An intimate foodie getaway in the heart of Hovingham, Yorkshire
Run by Josh and Victoria Overingham, Myse is a labour of love for this talented couple, who previously ran the acclaimed Le Cochon Aveugle in York. It’s an intimate dining room with minimalist wooden tables and white-washed walls. The menu is inspired by Josh’s grandma and showcases Yorkshire classics with a creative twist – think Yorkshire pudding and gravy, reimagined as a doughnut.
It’s a rural destination, so the bedrooms make the trip much more worthwhile, encouraging guests to truly relax and enjoy the experience.

Regency House, Belfast
A Cornwall-honed chef brings bistro cooking and Irish produce to a Georgian crescent
Set across restored Georgian townhouses on Upper Crescent in Belfast's leafy Queen's Quarter, Regency House was the first hotel in Northern Ireland to earn a Michelin Key. This summer it gained a proper restaurant, too, when County Down-born Chris McClurg, former chef patron of Paul Ainsworth at No 6 and a Great British Menu banquet chef, took it over with his partner Alice Stewart.
The 46-cover Parisian-style bistro is set around an open kitchen, with a small courtyard and a private dining room, The Cellar. Irish producers lead the menu. Start with saddleback pig rib, brined for succulence, sticky with PX barbecue sauce, then choose Murley Mountain lamb saddle with aubergine, mint and labneh, or Seaview Farm chicken with morels and sauce suprême. All mains are created for two people, so negotiate wisely.
Save room for beef-fat sticky toffee pudding with medjool dates and peated whiskey.
At the bar in the first-floor Drawing Room, order an Irish Sour made with Shortcross poitín.
Every room is individually designed. Book the Superior Heritage room for treetop views over Crescent Park, an open fireplace and a freestanding copper bath. Alternatively, the ground-floor Courtyard Suite has a cast-iron tub and its own private patio for a morning coffee or a nightcap.
Breakfast is cooked to order in The Drawing Room. Look out for buttermilk pancakes with Irish smoked bacon and maple syrup, and the Regency House Fry with Clonakilty black and white pudding, potato bread and soda farl. Or try the billowy folded eggs on homemade sourdough toast.

The Gurnard’s Head
A bright yellow beacon of hospitality on the Cornish Atlantic coast
Near many of west Cornwall’s most magical sites (The Minack Theatre, Zennor and St Ives), The Gurnard’s Head is a beloved traditional pub with outstanding, unfussy food and charming bedrooms. It's a favourite with locals for the Sunday roast, and always popular with returning tourists.
The decor inside is haphazard and colourful, seats by the bar are warmed by roaring log fires in winter, and there's a huge, enclosed garden for warmer days. Head chef Max Wilson took over in June 2016, and his menu highlights local Cornish fish and meat alongside recipes that take influence from around the world.
The eight bedrooms are simple in appearance, but offer luxury touches, like the ultra-comfortable Vi-Spring beds. Breakfast consists of a full english, grilled kippers or homemade yogurt and local jams.

Holm
Nicolas Balfe’s countryside Somerset abode with irresistible food and stylish bedrooms
Chef and restauranteur Nicolas Balfe created a name for himself with his south London venues before relocating to Somerset to open Holm in South Petherton. The rural village wasn’t known for its culinary scene before his arrival, and it’s exciting to see how Holm has become a foodie destination, especially now that it has seven en-suite bedrooms.
The chic contemporary rooms have impressive four-poster beds, freestanding baths and abstract artwork, giving them a mid-century feel. Downstairs in the dining room, the menu is much like Balfe’s Peckham counterpart – expect to find Westcombe cheddar fries and homemade pasta.

Updown Farmhouse
Luxury country house in Kent with open-fire cookery
Tucked away in the countryside near Deal in Kent, Updown Farmhouse has become a popular escape for Londoners. The conservatory restaurant is surrounded by 17th-century bricks and grape vines – guests can watch the chefs cooking on the wood fire while enjoying fresh loaves from the bread oven and succulent grilled meats and fish. The menus are small and focus on hyper-seasonal ingredients.
After your meal, there's abundant space to relax on seven acres of verdant grounds and woodlands. Plus, the farmhouse has beautiful rooms for playing board games or reading a book by the fire. Bedrooms are refined but fun, with plenty of colour and views overlooking the lawn, gardens or fruit trees.

Moor Hall
Mark Birchall’s prestigious three-Michelin-starred restaurant with rooms in Lancashire
Moor Hall now boasts the ultimate accolade after recently receiving three Michelin stars. The dining room is set in a restored 16th-century country house and the team ensures the meal takes you on a memorable journey, beginning with immaculate snacks, including the team’s home-cured charcuterie.
The accommodation is found either in the historic main house or gardens, and the design reflects the leafy surroundings with dark stained wood, natural linens and botanical details. Breakfast is produce-led and of the highest quality, if you have the stomach space left for it!

Ynyshir, Machynlleth, Wales
Bold and brilliant food and rooms in the remote Welsh countryside
Chef Gareth Ward likes to stand out, and his restaurant – located just south of Snowdonia National Park – is full of attitude and flavour. The lengthy tasting menu is served in a petite, stripped-back dining room with a fully open kitchen, so diners can watch the team at work. While your tastebuds are entertained with a succession of bold bites, a live DJ creates a buzzy atmosphere.
The accommodation options are varied, from traditional country house rooms to modern, moody black spaces (bedrooms 1 or 7) that continue the theme of the restaurant. A breakfast hamper of yogurts, muffins, cold cuts and hot toast arrives outside your bedroom door in the morning.

The Bull, Charlbury
Luxury Oxfordshire gastropub with style-conscious rooms
Pub pioneers Phil Winser and James Gummer (of The Pelican in London) made a statement when they opened their second venue in the sleepy town of Charlbury in summer 2023. The offering at this effortlessly stylish gastropub is farm-to-fork, with an emphasis on the seasonal produce available in the area. The dishes are less obvious, favouring a superior pork chop with caper-studded jus, rather than your standard pub burger.
Upstairs (and in the nearby Barn) are 10 bedrooms complete with freestanding bathtubs, super king beds and Wildsmith amenities, with everything finished to a high specification.

Glebe House, Devon
An idyllic East Devon escape with noteworthy food and Instagram-worthy bedrooms
There is a relaxed playfulness to everything at Glebe House. This charming six-bedroom boutique hotel has a food offering that's become reason alone to visit. The regularly evolving seasonal menu from chef-owner Hugo Guest is the kind of elevated comfort food you want to eat, from homemade pasta to new-season fruit desserts. The bedrooms are split across the main house and the cabins, and are full of joyful colour and pattern clashes.
