On the Brook in South Somerset

A nice location but unfortunately the food was not good. Small portions and not cooked well. (Boiled mushrooms, watery beans, toast with no butter). The café looked like it needed a good clean.At £25 for 2 breakfasts it felt like a bit of a rip-off. With only 2 tables occupied, the service was slow, unwelcoming and rude. Judging by the owners responses on Google reviews, this feedback will be ignored.

Our plans were to go for a walk and have a break @ In the Brook. We were greeted abruptly by a pit bull (2 legged nit 4), not a friendly welcoming. Our assumption in the end they were close as we told it was private property. At no point was there sign post of the sort. How does one have a cafe with such venom on the way great walkers on a sunny autumn day.

A beautiful location, quiet with amazing views, just a short walk into town for easy access to Bruton’s shops and restaurants. Accommodation is simple but high quality with good bathroom facilities (strong shower), practical kitchen corner and excellent WiFi. Very warm welcome for our dog. Friendly hosts and delicious breakfast menu.

Such a lovely setting to have lunch. We had a tapas for 2 which included lots of delicious dishes, 2 soft drinks and the best coffee we've had in ages, all for £12! Excellent value.The service was a little chaotic on the day we visited, not sure if they were short of staff but we still lived it.

A fabulous place to stay in Bruton- you feel as though you are in the deep countryside, but you can easily walk in to town in 15 minutes. The absolute best of both worlds! Really charming and comfortable accommodation with lovely views of the surrounding hills.Generous breakfast at the on-site cafe is included, making life incredibly easy and convenient. Sophie and Pat were so helpful with tips for what to do during our stay in the area, and were great hosts. My friends and I had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful location with super home cooked food & snacks, plenty of parking, great place for a meet up/coffee & cakes with friends. Will def be returning! Excellent service & coffee to die for!!❤

Lovely location and restaurant but breakfast was a small portion and not of the best quality. Limited covid cleaning in place. My friend and I entered an empty restaurant but all the tables seemed unwiped and chairs untucked as if they had been left for a while uncleaned. When the lady serving us remebered to put her visor down she used my plate to push it down over her face before placing my food on the table. Wouldnt visit again.

Great experience.Sophie, the host, makes us want to stay On The Brook for ever.Beautiful, spacious room for three (even for four), with a kitchen with all you need.Beautifully surrounded by nature and quiet as it can be.The breakfast had plenty options and a very high quality.All were facilities.We also walked through the woods to get to town in about only 10 minutes.We promised to go back

Outstanding place to stay and eat. Sophie and her partner are wonderful and really did take good care of me. Nothing was a problem. On the Brook has two beautifully restored barns in lovely countryside. The food is great, and the couple do a great deal for the local community in terms of husbandry of their land and the copse of woods which they are reviving. People walk for miles with their dogs to have coffee and lunch in the restaurant which uses local produce. There is a great deal to do in the immediate neighbourhood, including the Hauser Wirth Gallery. Highly recommended.

Best coffee I've ever had. Period. Amazing crepes. Lovely place to eat surrounded by rolling hills. Food is great offering daily specials so you can try something new. Also a few local walks so excellent choice for either long walks with food and drinks to finish off with or just a nice coffee break.
