Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a lovely ambiance and a homely feel. The rooms were cozy with large squiggy beds, and the staff went out of their way to provide exceptional service. However, the lack of privacy glass in some areas was a downside. The location was convenient and vibrant, right in the heart of the bustling town of Frome.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Frome close to St Catherine Hill, offering a convenient stay. The rooms are cozy and equipped with deep baths, perfect for relaxation, but some may find the lack of privacy glass opposite the restaurant a small drawback. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The dining experience offers delightful French pastries, adding a touch of elegance to your stay.
