The Experience

Emily has thought of every comfort in this clever new build: vast windows allow light to pour in, underfloor heating keeps you warm, the lighting is intimate, the artwork very good (some from local artists) including an exquisite hand blown glass bubble light from Syria. Downstairs is open plan with plenty of space, squishy sofas, wooden parquet floors, and doors which open to the walled garden – all yours.

The kitchen is to the side of the living space and you’ll find local milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and local honey – fresh flowers too. A farmhouse oak table means cooking and eating are sociable affairs. Upstairs are two soothing bedrooms and bathrooms: Kate Forman or Susie Watson fabrics, feather and down duvets, Bramley soaps and lotions.

There are lovely walks along the river to Mells and Great Elm, dropping in on pubs selling local cider and ales.

Reviews

We just had the most comfortable and relaxed stay at the coach house. I would highly recommend it!

Laura, Pewsey Aug 2021

A beautiful space filled with light. Stylish, comfortable and welcoming. Sparkling bathrooms and supremely comfortable beds. A delight. Highly recommended.

Susie, Nottingham Jul 2021

What a super break we had at Hemington Coach House, a lovely place to spend a couple days. Brand new and with everything you could want- close to town but with its own little garden -we enjoyed lunches out and relaxing dinners at home. Emily was a perfect host- stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed and then left us to it. I would certainly recommend a trip Hemington house!

Salome, London May 2021

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hemington Coach House. It is an incredibly comfortable property, full of light and gave us plenty of room to unwind. It is ideally positioned to wander in to Frome to enjoy the shops and parks as well as a great base for travelling further afield like Glastonbury and Wells. Emily is a wonderful host, letting us know before we arrived which restaurants were open and making some great recommendations which took a lot of the work out of planning where to eat each night! I'm still missing my morning coffee and pastry at Rye Bakery.

Simon, Lewes May 2021

We had a wonderful stay at the coach house. The standard of the accommodation was extremely high and Emily was the nicest host. She even gave us lots of recommendations on places to visit, walk, eat and drink which was really appreciated. Property was ideally located and close to the delightful Somerset countryside.

Ashleigh, London Apr 2021

We loved staying in Emily’s house over the bank holiday. She has done an incredible job with the interior and both the house and the garden feel very spacious. She also have a bunch of suggestions to do. Whether it is a beautiful hike trip experiencing the British country side or a gastro pub surrounded by fields. We will definitely go again and highly recommend!

Helen, London Apr 2021

Once here you can abandon your car and choose between walking into town for gorgeous independent shops, markets and food producers. Also some superb restaurants. Or you can stroll along by the river to investigate Mells or Great Elm, discovering some lovely pubs with lethal cider and some interesting local ales. Returning from your adventures to such a gorgeous space will be a joy.

Location

The neighbourhood

Frome is a bustling and arty town to explore. You're just a three-minute walk to bakeries, the Hesperian fishmonger and shop, two delis, great restaurants, a weekly farmers' market and monthly independent market for wine and more. It’s a few minutes further to Catherine Hill, famous for its many vintage shops. You're near to The Newt and also Hauser and Wirth, both with gorgeous gardens and superb food.

Local points of interest from Emily Doherty

The house is a five minute walk from the cafe culture and vintage shops of Frome's cobbled streets. Frome also has an independent cinema, several theatres and hosts a summer festival for artists, poets, musicians, comedians and chefs, with craft workshops.
From March, on the first Sunday of every month, the Frome Independent Market takes over the town and fills the streets with artisan bakers, butchers, farmers, artists, live cooking stalls, musicians and a huge antiques market.
Frome is filled with wonderful eateries: the Rye Bakery in its converted chapel, Eight Stony Street with pizza, extensive wine list and views of vintage Catherine Hill and Hesperian Fish down at Station approach, with delicious menu and East London vibes.
Wonderful walks abound from Frome including a river walk through the villages of Great Elm and Mells, (conveniently ending at much lauded The Talbot Inn, Mells). It is also surrounded by wild Somerset countryside - Salisbury Plain & the Mendips (AONB)
Frome is a perfect base for exploring the city of Bath, Wells Cathedral, Salisbury Cathedral, Longleat House & Stourhead House and Gardens, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, Wells Cathedral, Kilver Court Designer Outlet, Hauser and Wirth Art and The Newt, Bruton.
Although it is centrally located, the house is a particularly calm, light oasis and the garden is private - not overlooked. Our mattresses have been hand picked from the Original Bed Company, King's Road, London and our bed linen is hotel quality.
