My wife and I were really looking forward to eating at Holm as we had heard really good things about the food. I am sorry to say our experience did not live up to expectations. We opted for the chefs menu, but with each plate, we were left a bit disappointed. The presentation was good, but the flavours were just not as amazing as a meal in this price range should be. We've had chefs' menu's like this elsewhere locally, where each mouthful knocks your socks off, which is what we were hoping for here, but alas, it did not. The final straw for me during the meal was how difficult it was to cut through the lamb. I would expect this to melt in the mouth, but it was tough. Another, slight niggle I had with our experience was that we were served by three different waiting staff and they didn't really give much in the way of an explanation of each dish. I dont want to be overly critical, but we wanted to leave Holm exited about the food we had eaten but left very much disappointed.Initially, we were greeted by a lovely scottish lady (sorry, can't remember her name), who took us to our table. She was very nice and made us feel welcomed. I have to say that the decor etc is very nice and a lovely place to sit.

An overdue post for an incredible dinner we had here a few months back on a weekend away from London. We sat at the counter allowing us to watch the kitchen which was super interesting for us. Everything was had was a 10/10 - special shout out for the rillettes and cabbage with the cafe de Paris butter. We would love to (and plan on) coming back!

We stayed here for 2 nights on a short mid week break. Both the food and rooms are excellent, and the staff are very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Would recommend for food lovers wanting a stay in a very picturesque village.

I absolutely love Holm! The food is always excellent, they make the most delicious cocktails, the wine list is eclectic with a range of prices. The decor is comfortable, stylish, not too self-conscious-we had a record player in our private room which was a fun touch! The staff are welcoming, low key and engaging. I'm looking forward to trying the £25 lunch time menu soon!

Holm is a very special place. Clearly, everything about this restaurant with rooms has been meticulously and creatively thought out. Occupying a beautiful Ham stone building in the centre of the village, Holm has a spacious, modern restaurant on the ground floor and two floors of rooms above, together with a studio for residents to relax in. Our elegant room was well designed and very comfortable. The food is exceptional; interesting, subtle and delicious. Served by efficient and friendly staff, our dinner and breakfast were beautifully presented. Holm is definitely a place to visit if you are in this part of the country.Rooms: Comfortable, beautifully presented with modern shower roomFood & drinks: Superb

I recently enjoyed a delicious lunch at HOLM Somerset - off the beaten track but definitely worth coming off the A303 for! The Cornish hake was probably the best fish I've ever had, and the coffee mousse went down a treat. As a regular holidaymaker to Somerset, I will certainly be back on my travels.

We just came to the restaurant and had the tasting menu and were thoroughly impressed. Its one of the best meals I've had in years. We eat out a lot and came here as my wife loves the sister restaurant in Peckham - I haven't been but if it's half as good as Holm I'll definitely be giving it a visit!

Great dinner! Everything from the ingredients to the service of the staff, it was perfection. Highly recommend the deep fried cheese. Fish and bread were divine. Rest was good too.
The staff were incredible, and the rooms impeccable. A very relaxing stay.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Holm with my husband, as well as staying overnight in Ash. It was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The combination of impeccable service, modern décor, and inventive cuisine made for an unforgettable evening.The modern décor lent an air of sophistication while still maintaining a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. It was evident that every detail had been carefully curated to enhance our dining experience.The service at Holm was truly exceptional. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, offering insightful recommendations without ever feeling overbearing. They struck the perfect balance between attentiveness and allowing diners to enjoy their meal uninterrupted and went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our evening.The menu was the perfect showcase for the chef's skill and creativity. It was evident that they made the most of seasonal and local produce, as each ingredient was fresh and bursting with flavor. The menu featured a array of inventive dishes that kept me eagerly anticipating each course.Overall, my experience at Holm exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend it highly enough and we have already booked to return!

Now this a really great place! Just done a 2 dinner, 2 night bundle and HOLM delivers a very good resto-&-rooms experience. The expert staff were a big part of this. Both the Chef's tasting menu & breakfast were top notch. The former waaay better experience than at L'Enclume, where the 5+ hour timing might suit the kitchen, but NOT these diners. HOLM got it just right with great dishes (nod to trout & blood orange) plus the tempo was spot on.To avoid this looking like a snow job, the loft room was lovely, but the 40+ steps less so, even the dog got vertigo!We will be back as it is really warm & welcoming place both to dine & stay.Rooms: Great loft room, but quite a climb. But the wee dog was welcome, as a good plus point.Food & drinks: Very good food, mostly local ingredients including some of the drinks, with attentive service to match.
