Osip – the Michelin-starred restaurant from chef Merlin Labron-Johnson – will launch four bedrooms situated directly above the restaurant near Bruton, Somerset.
The Rooms’ will further Labron-Johnson’s vision of Osip as a holistic dining destination, allowing guests to experience 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 which includes a neighbouring pine forest, grazing fields and farms, whilst remaining sympathetic to the heritage of the 17th century coaching inn.
As part of their stay, guests will be welcomed with a selection of refreshments from the kitchen including freshly baked canelés, cider by Maison Osip – the restaurant’s own bespoke product line – and apple juice.
Dining will continue to be an integral part of the experience with guests given priority restaurant bookings for the night of their stay, alongside complimentary breakfast.
Served in the restaurant and inspired by the breakfast offering of old French auberges, the spread will include freshly baked breads, Tamworth speck ham, hay smoked trout, fresh cheeses and yoghurts, preserves, seasonal fresh fruit and honey from Osip’s bees. The centrepiece of the breakfast table will be a freshly baked pear and black cardamom Kouign-amann pastry for sharing, served alongside whipped Somerset butter.
A dedicated concierge team will be on hand from the point of booking to arrange complimentary transfers to and from surrounding train stations, assisting with local itineraries and booking private tours of the Osip farm and other nearby places of interest.
Having won acclaim upon launching London restaurants Portland and Clipstone, Labron-Johnson opened Osip in 2019, in its original home in central Bruton.
Here, Osip was awarded its first Michelin star in 2021, followed by a Green Michelin star in 2023. In 2024, Osip relocated to a larger, freehold site with its own land.
