A stay in Frome is made all the more enjoyable when you choose this stylish apartment. Situated in a Grade II listed building dating back to the 1700s, you can expect ample period features throughout - from wooden sash windows and exposed wooden floorboards. And it’s layout is unique and charming too. You walk into the ground floor, where you’ll find the bedroom and kitchen. All of which have been expertly decorated with style and taste it looks straight out of an interior design magazine.



The muted-red kitchen is a total delight to cook in, boasting beautiful ceramic stoneware and elegant brass fittings which tie in perfectly with the bathroom on the next level. Head upstairs to the top floor to an open-plan living and dining area that’s flooded with natural light. Enjoy meals around the checker-board dining table before sinking into your linen sofa and getting the wood burner roaring (see notes section on logs).
