Welcome to The High House Bruton
Olivia, Michael, Archie and Monty have been happily living and offering
Bed & Breakfast from their Victorian family home in the centre of Bruton for the past six years.
Bruton has plenty to offer whether your interests are art, architecture, food and lifestyle or maybe you just crave the peace and quiet of the countryside with just a few creature comforts thrown in. This small town has an array of interesting independent shops with plenty of cafes and restaurants.
Stroll around the medieval streets or “bartons” of the town making sure not to miss the ancient fourteenth century St Mary’s Church, the Dovecote and the wonderful Jacobean architecture of Sexey’s Hospital.

We planned to stay for 3 nights but we couldn’t leave and so ended up adding another 2. Olivia and her family made us feel very welcome (and lovely Monty the dog too!), we stayed in the garden room which is beautifully decorated, comfy and provides everything one could need. The breakfast was also superb. We can’t wait for our next trip to High House Bruton.

The brilliance of the accommodation is exceeded only by the hospitality and helpfulness of the owners... I am a critical reviewer but cannot praise this place enough... breakfast is brilliant, too... I recommend the bistro down the road for dinner - but if High House did dinner, I’m sure it would be magnificent.
Lovely!!!! Totally recommended...

High House is a gift to Bruton. This B & B is a place of welcome and generous hospitality. Olivia is a fantastic cook and host, her breakfasts are a huge treat! Nothing is ever too much for the hosts. I will be returning in 2017 for longer, and I can’t wait!

This bed and breakfast is amazing, from the owner Olivia to the fabulous room and delicious breakfast. The room was spotless with an amazing rainforest shower which I didn’t want to get out of, so many added touches, homemade flapjacks, tea coffee, hot chocolate and a bottle of water. The bathroom had warm towels and radiators. The bed was extremely comfortable. Overall excellent stay with excellent service and friendly people.
