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.

We were so fortunate to find Holmwood Coach House, a beautiful self-catering cottage with every amenity possible. Nicola and Chris have thought of everything and the attention to detail is so evident. It was easy to find and so convenient to walk into town to enjoy what Frome has to offer. So many sites to see from this 'home base', and yet we felt so comfortable just taking a day off, putting up our feet and catching up with correspondence etc. Nicola and Chris have real gem here, and we heartily recommend their coach house to everyone. Thanks again Nicola and Chris


Rosalind, Stockport

It just gets better every time we visit the Coach House. Here in crisp, sunny, deep frost. We’d recommend a trip to Avebury, fantastic walk across ancient landscape. Also, The Talbot Inn at Mells, and town trail from the walks folder. Wonderful to see red kites flying several times. Enjoyed great art at Hauser & Wirth too. Thank you Nicola and Chris for a lovely holiday. We’ll be back.


Heather, Berkhamsted

“We have watched blackbirds, redwing, blue tits, great tits, a jay, several thrushes and two very fat wee squirrels enjoy the festive feast of crab apples: an entertainment in itself is that tree. Owls hoot at night. Despite being blighted by colds, we have loved the cosiness of the place and having spent longer indoors than we usually would it’s been great to be in a home from home. Enjoyed Hauser & Wirth Gallery; Wells and the Cathedral were pretty and impressive. On New Years Day, Frome was a pleasant town to wander in.


Alan, Tadcaster

A very enjoyable stay in a lovely property. The Coach House is in an excellent location - quiet and peaceful, yet easy access into Frome centre. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the guests' stay so enjoyable. Watching the foxes playing in the garden was a lovely way to end our holiday. High Pavement Restaurant highly recommended.


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.
