Myself and my partner booked a 2 night stay At The Chapel, Bruton, in a cosy loft room. On arrival we were given a complimentary upgrade to a ‘cosy suite’ in the loft - and what a fabulous room this was - simple stylish design with a minimalistic slant - it was very well designed. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The bathroom was huge with a great walk in shower - sadly we didn’t use the free standing bath, but it looked very inviting. The toiletries were abundant and very nice scents. The tea tray was very good with plenty of tea, coffee and fresh milk. The complimentary croissants each morning from the on site bakery were delicious and a lovely touch to our stay. Staff were excellent - friendly , professional yet pared back and not fussy… they let us relax. An excellent location too right in the heart of Bruton.

Only stopped by for a quick coffee, and the service was pretty poor. It wasn’t busy, but still took more than 5 minutes to order, and had to go up and remind them about my coffee after another 10 minutes. I asked for an iced americano, but it was so hot it nearly burnt my mouth! The hotel looks lovely, and the venue is superb. It’s just a shame about the service.

Combined review of the bakery and the restaurant/ bar. We visited the bakery every morning during our 3-day stay and were very pleased with the quality. Highly recommend everything on the menu, but we tried pain au chocolat, croissant, raspberry and olive oil cake, passion fruit donut, rhubarb and custard bun, cinnamon bun, whole grain loaf, and the ciabatta rolls, along with daily coffees. Attentive staff and very tasty goods: 5 stars. We visited the terrace for drinks after a hike and the setting is ideal, with shade and some slight sunny options, which was perfect after a long walk. The non alcoholic cocktails left something to be desired, which is to be expected but the high price point demanded more. 4 stars overall. The restaurant setting was, once again, fantastic with great acoustics (not too loud, even though it was full). However, the food, including the bread (shockingly), was disappointing. We found bread items dry (presumably made too early in the day) and several items lacking punch. Two of us opted for the burger, hoping the best Sommerset to come through, but it didn't deliver. The bun was dry, meat overcooked such that it sort of resembled a smash patty but not quite, and generally felt like a pub burger that needed sauce to nurse it down. A real disappointment given the produce of the area and the £20 price tag. Pizzas looked very interesting, but fell short of expectations being too soggy, but good flavour on the dough. General starters were fine, but overly plain to the pallet. 3 stars, would not recommend. Overall, the bakery keeps this afloat at 4 stars. If you've read this far, this is your sign to treat yourself to a donut.
