  Myself, my husband and adult son spent 5 nights at Troopers Cottage.

  It was a lovely presented, clean and comfortable cottage. The bedrooms are small especially the bunk room but this was indicated by the photos and was something we were expecting. The bunk bed was large enough for an adult and according to my son very comfy. The heating system was very efficient, warming the house quickly. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked well. The shower room was very clean with a very powerful shower and lots of soft towels. Unfortunately on our last day we experienced a problem with parking. We had parked our car out the front of the property each day without problem. My daughter joined us for the last couple of days of our stay and parked at the back of the property as advised by the owner, Overnight somebody cut the wires on and stole her electric door mirror and damaged her headlight. I would not recommend parking in this particular area. This said we still enjoyed our stay very much, especially being able to walk into town, Anna was very welcoming and efficient and the welcome basket of goodies much appreciated.

  Our party of eight had a fantastic weekend stay and we highly recommend the property.

  It’s very easy to find, with a pretty drive and tons of parking space. The house is lovely, very private yet only a short walk into Frome, and superbly equipped. The main open plan living area is fantastic, comfortable sofas, cosy underfloor heating, a huge dining table and a great kitchen. All of the bedrooms are large, comfortable and have high quality bedding. We made use of several of the restaurants close by, the Royal Bengal Indian just 2 minutes away, Bistro Lotte for lunch on a busy Saturday and the Old Bath Arms for Sunday roasts, all were very good. Any areas for improvement, just a couple of things, there is only a family bathroom plus an on-suite in the main bedroom (there is a downstairs cloakroom also) so for a 6 bedroom house it could do with an extra bath or shower room…and the temperature varied across the house, upstairs bedrooms hot, downstairs bedrooms cold. But these are small things and overall we were incredibly happy with the house, it’s brilliant.

  Firstly I would like to say a big thank you for the basket of goodies and bottle of chilled wine that greeted us.

  The best gifts we have ever received when renting a cottage before, which we enjoyed and appreciated very much. The cottage was so homely and well equipped, beautifully decorated, a home from home. It was also the perfect base for mystical Somerset which meant we had some glorious days out, all within a short drive. In fact, there’s so much to do in the area we’ll definitely be returning and booking Troopers Cottage again. The streets in Frome are narrow, but that wasn’t an issue and we had no issue’s parking outside the cottage all week. One tip, if there are gaps when you return, grab the opportunity to do a three point turn, so that you’re facing the right way the following day, as the street fills up in the evening. It worked for us as we did early starts and got back before 5pm. All in all, a wonderful week in Somerset and enjoyable stay at Troopers Cottage. Thank you for having us.

  A wonderful gem close to the heart of Frome.

  The perfect place to stay for a couple - and a young child. It’s set in a very quiet street about an 8-minute stroll from the centre of Frome, the only problem being is that the route takes you past the front door of, possibly, the best pub in Frome, The Griffin, so 8-minutes can easily become an hour. The decor throughout is excellent, both comfortable and homely. It is well equipped and the bathroom is spacious with a huge walk-in shower. There’s a small back garden, so handy if you have a dog, and on-street parking, outside the property to the front and rear, is not an issue. On arrival there was a lavish welcome pack, and the owner did everything to make us feel welcome and our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Really can’t rate Troopers Cottage highly enough and will certainly stay again as we visit the area regularly.

  The cottage was beautiful, cozy and had everything we needed.

  It was a short walk to the town centre where we found lots of fantastic independent shops and cafes. The welcome pack was extremely helpful and contained ideas for several local walks including a highly recommended walk which took us along part of the River Frome and to wonderful countryside on the outskirts of the town. Frome is a great base if you want to explore other places in Somerset like Bath, Wells and Glastonbury. (All are well worth a visit.) I’d also like to add that Mel from Busy Bees in Frome did a fantastic job cleaning the cottage for our stay. Hand and surface sanitizer were provided, which was very thoughtful. Anna, the cottage owner, responds to any queries quickly and is very polite and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Troopers Cottage and hope to visit again in the not too distant future.
