Large Holiday Houses Near Bruton, Somerset

Bruton was always something of backwater, in a very lovely way; it was part of the charm, a sleepy town tucked away a few miles from the border of Somerset and Wiltshire, where life ticked along happily. In recent years it’s become a trendy place to live and visit, attracting a few celebrities to the area in search of an escape from the hustle and bustle of London.

Bruton and the surrounding villages also have much appeal to artists and makers, with one of the most respected galleries in the world on the edge of town – Hauser & Wirth, known also for its Piet Oudolf Gardens and Roth Bar & Grill.

It really is a lovely place to be, feeling remote from the chaos that’s going on in the world; amble along the narrow streets and it’s like any worries slip from your shoulders; here life slows down among the old cottages and chapels, the River Brue trips contentedly through the valley and the rolling hills are all around, comforting and protective.
