The Experience

A touch of the country in town – a buzzing town too: Frome is bursting with culture, galleries, quirky shops and great markets, all a short walk away. Connected by an impressive architect-designed walkway to the owners’ house, but facing the other way so you’ll feel nicely private, this generous 19th-century coach house overlooks big gardens.

Step into a pristine open-plan space – sitting room, dining room and smart kitchen blend into one, you’re warmed by a wood-burner and there are logs to get you going. The Greens like to support local craftsmen and food producers and send you a useful pack of information to help you get the best out of your stay. Your galleried bedroom above comes with a compact shower and a lovely low window that pulls the outside in. There’s a spare bedroom with a day bed too.

On warm evenings find a quiet spot in the pretty garden for a glass of wine before you head out to supper in town.

Reviews

A lovely property in the heart of Frome. Nicola's garden is just beautiful and I can imagine relaxing there and enjoying the nature. This place has a lot of tranquillity to it, and the house itself is well appointed and has everything you will possibly need. Available books and guides contain all the information on things to see and places to eat.

Thank you Nicola and Chris for another relaxing week at the coach house. We enjoyed walking around Witham Friary and visiting the historic Seymour Arms pub. Great to see young artists in Britain at the 'Present Tense' exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, and visit St Mary's Church. Bruton also a great place to walk. We can recommend The Talbot Inn at Mells, for a celebration and the Mells village cafe. Despite the wet weather, the wildlife in the garden has been fantastic - especially the great spotted woodpecker and nuthatch. Best of all the screaming foxes getting frisky on the lawn! Thank

After almost six weeks in the UK, we ended our trip here. We have stayed in many places in the UK and the US, and the coach house is the very best. The location is stunning and private. The house is flawlessly appointed with great attention to detail that is apparent in every room. The many windows and skylights bring in abundant light. We had lunch outside with apples pulled from the trees, and we listened to the caw of the jackdaws and were convinced that no one could feel stressed in the midst of all that calm and beauty. We are grateful to Nicola and Chris and can't wait to return.

Everything is perfect, thank you! I’m so glad I came. You have the most magical garden. I could look at it all day.


Meryl, Cardiff

Your coach house is just wonderful! We have had a lovely time.


Location

The neighbourhood

The house sits on a hill, secluded, private and surrounded by nature. You can easily walk into town and the Sunday market is only five minutes. There are lots of good places to eat including The High Pavement and an authentic Italian restaurant, Castello. Bath is a half-hour drive, Wells 40 minutes. It's a 20-minute walk to Frome station for trains and there are regular buses from Market Place.

Local points of interest from Nicola & Chris Green

  • Take time to explore the historic town of Frome. Seek out some of its 400 plus listed buildings, climb up steep cobbled Catherine Hill and wander along medieval Cheap Street. As a Walkers are Welcome accredited town you'll be glad of your walking boots!
  • Buy local produce at the Frome Farmers Market, by the Boyle Cross at the bottom of Cheap Street, second Saturday of each month; and take in the festive atmosphere at the Independent Market, first Sunday of the month, Mar-Dec, with music, food and crafts.
  • The Frome Festival is an annual 10 day celebration of the town’s unique arts scene held in July providing community events all over town and kicking off with the popular Food Feast offering a varied selection of food and drink stalls.
  • 4 miles from Frome is the village of Mells, scattered around Mells Manor, home to the Asquith family. In drier months you can walk via Vallis Vale and Great Elm, looking out for the ruins of Fussell’s Ironworks on the footpath between Mells and Great Elm.
  • Also 4 miles out of town is Longleat where your visit begins with a view of the grand stately home, one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture in Britain, set within 900 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped gardens and parkland.
  • 9 miles away is Stourhead landscape garden, peaceful and beautiful at any time of year but especially stunning when the trees are in their Autumn splendour. Follow the loop around the huge lake and you will stumble across classical and gothic buildings.
