Home from Holm: Somerset restaurant to launch bedrooms and ‘mixed-use community space’
Located above the South Petherton restaurant, the bedrooms will mirror the same aesthetic as the space below, with original features of the 1830s building restored to sit alongside modernist joinery, mid-century furniture and contemporary artworks. The bedrooms will be available from £140 per night on a B&B basis.
The mixed-use space will be used as a lounge for overnight guests, as a space for classes and art galleries and for drinks receptions, private functions and community events.
Over the past 18 months the restaurant has also extended its offering by adding a courtyard dining terrace and a landscaped quarter-acre garden to the rear, featuring an extensive herb garden, fruit trees and five raised beds which are being planted currently to provide their first crops of vegetables for use in the restaurant later this year.
Holm was opened in late 2021 as the first rural outpost from Nicholas Balfe, Mark Gurney and Matt Bushnell of South London neighbourhood restaurants, Levan and Larry’s.
The 34-cover restaurant is housed in a former bank and sits on a quarter acre plot in the heart of the village.
