“Beautiful cottage in a quiet neighborhood.”

Well equipped kitchen, very generous gift basket on our arrival. I loved the bed linens especially the pillows. Just right for 2 people.

Kevin August 2024

“Trooper cottage is lovely for a mini break away!”

It is a quaint little cottage with all the facilities you need right in the centre of Frome. Welcome hamper was a lovely touch. Lots of lovely independent shops and eateries in Frome itself and loads of information provided on what to do in the area. I loved reading about the history of the cottage itself which I also thought was a nice touch too. Would highly recommend.

- Kevin, August 2024

It sounds like you really enjoyed yourselves Kevin! Thank you for your kind review, we hope to see you back at Troopers soon, Anna Property Owner
Petronella July 2024

“The property was excellent, very clean and quiet, lovely garden.”

The only comment is it’s a bit of a run down area.

- Petronella, July 2024

I'm glad you had such a good time Petronella, thank you for your feedback. Enjoy the rest of your summer, Anna Property Owner
Sarah July 2024

“Nice , clean , welcoming cottage .”

Anna had supplied a lovely welcome pack for when we arrived. Had a lovely week in Frome apart from the weather. Loved the downstairs of Troopers Cottage but found upstairs to be very claustrophobic for us personally, lack of space to hang anything especially if your away for a week . Used the spare bedroom as our wardrobes. Thanks for having us .

- Sarah, July 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback Sarah, I'm glad you enjoyed your week in Frome. I'm sorry there wasn't more space upstairs for you. Enjoy the rest of your summer, Anna Property Owner

“Lovely cottage, spotless and very well placed”

Georgia April 2024

“Lovely little cottage in a really ideal location!”

Close to plenty of places to visit and has everything you would need. Really appreciated the welcome basket after our long journey, really thoughtful. Comfy beds and soft towels! Really warm and cosy in the cottage too. Just a few improvements ideas: the bedrooms could do with black out blinds because it was really bright at night, there were ants in the kitchen so there might be an ants nest in the garden. Overall we would love to return one day :)

- Georgia, April 2024
Rachel April 2024

“Lovely welcoming cottage, everything as listed.”

Small garden but more than adequate for our German shepherd. Welcome basket was a nice touch with some lovely items. Nice town to explore, plenty to do in the surrounds area. Highly recommend.

- Rachel, April 2024

We're glad you had a great time and thank you for giving Troopers Cottage such a glowing review. We hope to welcome you again soon, Anna Property Owner

Jill March 2024

“All good , well equipped, clean ,warm ,cozy, good beds and linen .”

Stairs not for the unsteady , parking ok , a bit hit and miss finding a spot . The owner was extremely accommodating as a new tele was required. All in All a good break . Frome is a delight, as is Burton, and Bradford on Avon ……

- Jill, March 2024

Anne January 2024

“We are in the process of selling our house to relocate to Frome.”

As part of this we have had stayed several times and the vast majority of our stays have been in Troopers Cottage. Its a lovely, comfortable house in a quiet street. Parking is on street but never a problem. It is walking distance from the town centre. There is a lovely garden perfect if you are bringing a dog. It is well stocked with a lovely welcome hamper. I love this house!

- Anne, January 2024

It's a pleasure having you both to stay Anne, all the best for selling your house! Property Owner
Andrea December 2023

“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.

- Andrea, December 2023

Thank you for your kind words Andrea, I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry about the damage to your daughter's car. We hope to see you back at Troopers Cottage again, Anna Property Owner
Helen December 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at Trooper's cottage.”

The location is superb and it was so easy to wander into the centre of Frome. The cottage is very comfortable and was a pleasure to return to on a chilly December evening although some slightly heavier/darker blinds in the bedroom would be handy for light sleepers. We really appreciated the wonderful welcome basket and all of the information about the history of the house, street and local area. Thank you Anna, we would be keen to return in the future.

- Helen, December 2023

I'm delighted you had a wonderful stay Helen and that you found the location convenient for jaunts around Frome. I look forward to welcoming you again, Anna Property Owner
Karl November 2023

“Hi we had a nice break at troopers cottage.”

A few places could be a little cleaner. The parking was very tight in front of property. But overall we had everything we needed. A very nice welcome pack on arrival. Thanks

- Karl, November 2023

I'm glad you enjoyed your break at Troopers Cottage Karl, thank you for your helpful comments. Parking spaces are available at the back of Troopers for if you plan to visit again. Hope to see you in 2024, Anna Property Owner
Yvonne November 2023

“This was our second time at troopers cottage and once again we weren’t disappointed we brought my father in law this time and he loved it.”

- Yvonne, November 2023

I'm delighted you enjoyed your second visit Yvonne and that your father-in-law had fun too, see you again soon, Anna Property Owner

“Lovely property, fantastic gift basket and warm welcome.”

Cozy beds and modern fittings. Comprehensive guide book. Highly recommend!

- John, November 2023

You are so kind, John. Thank you! Property Owner
Brian October 2023

“Parking and having to reverse out of the street was a problem , unless you were lucky to find an opportunity to turn your car around .”

No street lighting made it dark if returning after dusk .

- Brian, October 2023

Thank you for your 100% score Brian and your helpful comments, we're glad you enjoyed staying at Troopers so much. We look forward to seeing you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Janis October 2023

“This cottage is in a fantastic location and the town centre is within easy walking distance.”

We are able to park outside our cottage for the whole of our stay which is a real bonus. In addition it was very quiet at night and the little garden was lovely to sit in for breakfast or a coffee. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable with a lovely welcome hamper waiting for us. Because my sister and I like our own bedrooms, I had to have the bunk bed room which is really too small for an adult. But , I knew this before booking, just didn’t expect it to be so small. Nevertheless, we still had a really enjoyable stay.

- Janis, October 2023
Kevin September 2023

“Our third time at Troopers as it suits us well.”

Comfortable and convenient. Great living area especially plus nice to be able to sit outside. The place is very clean with quality linen and pretty well everything you need to live there. Anna is very responsive and flexible and provides a nice welcome hamper.

- Kevin, September 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback Kevin, we hope to welcome you to Troopers for a fourth visit in the near future, Anna Property Owner
Margaret September 2023

“Lovely cottage in the heart of Frome.”

A short walk to all the amenities. Cottage was a perfect size for a couple and a dog. Garden was secure and private which is important if you have a dog. On street parking was no issue in this quiet street. We were able to park outside the cottage every day. We had no issues and spent an enjoyable 2 weeks in Troopers cottage. Would definitely recommend.

- Margaret, September 2023

I'm delighted you had an enjoyable 2 weeks at Troopers, Margaret and thank you for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again, Anna Property Owner
Laura August 2023

“Lovely cottage in beautiful town.”

Welcome hamper was very generous. Issues with dishwasher and washing machine but owner was very responsive. Lots to see and do in the area and cafes and restaurants were great and all within walking distance.

- Laura, August 2023

Thank you for your kind review Laura, I'm delighted you had such a good time. Hope to see you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Anne August 2023

“Another wonderful stay at Trooper’s Cottage.”

Beautiful house, spotlessly clean and well furnished and stocked. Very close to town centre. One minor problem with washing machine which was dealt with promptly. I love this house so much!

- Anne, August 2023

We're glad you love Troopers so much Anne, you are most welcome! Enjoy the rest of your summer, Anna Property Owner
Lynn June 2023

“Lovely historic cottage, but with all the mod cons.”

Perfectly located for walking into town. We loved having our own garden for Finn (our dog). We could not have asked for more and the welcome basket was a lovely touch.

- Lynn, June 2023

We're glad you had such a good time Lynn and that you found the location so good for exploring Frome. Looking forward to welcoming you again, Anna Property Owner
John June 2023

“Exactly as described and just what we wanted for a week in the lovely town of Frome.”

conveniently located and well equipped, the cottage was clean and tidy on arrival, with a generous welcome pack. roadside parking was always ok and the nearby pub - the Griffin - was friendly as well as well stocked. would recommend to family and friends.

- John, June 2023

We're glad Troopers didn't disappoint John, thank you for such positive feedback. We look forward to welcoming you again, Anna Property Owner
Jane April 2023

“Lovely to step into a clean, warm and welcoming space.”

The cottage had all that we needed and provided a good base to explore the area. We liked the historical information left in the cottage as well as details of local walks. There was also a generous goodies basket which we enjoyed. Thank you.

- Jane, April 2023

What kind comments, Jane, thank you! Property Owner
J A April 2023

“Just what was needed!”

Welcome hamper was a nice touch and great secure garden for the dog

- Michelle, April 2023
Jennifer February 2023

“Lovely comfortable cottage.”

Anna in touch quickly when we needed help with a fault with the heating. Cottage a good base, in a convenient spot, well within walking distance of shops, restaurants, public transport etc. Welcome pack was a nice surprise, chilled Prosecco on arrival very well received.

- Jennifer, February 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback Jennifer. Glad the Prosecco went down well! Hope to see you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Yvonne January 2023

“When we arrived we got excited and when we opened the door we got a surprise, it was clean and had everything you needed it was like home from home.”

We relaxed for the week together and had fish and chips from lees fish and chips, we also had a trip to Asda b&m and to lilleys cider which we got 6 bottles to bring home for family. Our puppy loved his stay too the garden was just right for him, we all had the best time and we will definitely be returning in the near future.

- Yvonne, January 2023

I'm glad you (and your puppy!) enjoyed your stay Yvonne. See you again soon, Anna Property Owner

Would highly recommend.

- Amy, January 2023

Thank you Amy, most kind. Hope to see you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Edward December 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Trooper's Cottage.”

The place was perfect for our family of 4 plus a furry friend. It was very warm and cosy, and excellently located for exploring the area. A new standard has been set for welcome baskets too!

- Edward, December 2022

Thank you Edward, you're very kind. I'm thrilled you had such a good time and Happy New Year to you! Anna Property Owner
Phillip December 2022

“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.

- Phillip, December 2022
Elizab December 2022

“Troopers cottage was an absolute joy.”

Warm, cosy and comfortable. Anna left a wonderful gift basket, which was so appreciated. The furniture was all very comfortable as was the bed. The towels and linens were pristine. The shower was great and the water hot. To be honest cannot fault anything. As I said a joy.

- Elizab, December 2022

Thank you for such heartfelt feedback, you're very kind. See you again, Anna Property Owner
Jessica November 2022

“This was a wonderful stay in England, Troopers cottage was really cosy and welcoming, and the welcome basket of goodies was so unexpected and so thoughtful!”

Everything you needed was already thought of and supplied. We will definitely be back, thank you so much for a wonderful stay x

- Jessica, November 2022
Karen November 2022

“It was a lovely cottage.”

Communication with the owner was e celle t. There was a, fantastic welcome basket. It was very convenient for the town. The cottage was very cosy and the bed was so comfortable. I think better for just 2 as only limited storage space

- Karen, November 2022
John October 2022

“Lovely clean comfortable cottage and the welcome pack is the best we have ever ...”

Lovely clean comfortable cottage and the welcome pack is the best we have ever had would certainly recommend this rental

- John, October 2022

We're delighted you had such a good time John. Thank you for recommending Troopers Cottage, it's very kind of you. Property Owner
Karen October 2022

“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.

- Karen, October 2022
David September 2022

“Had a lovely week in troopers cottage in frome.”

Really close to centre and good place for dog walks. Visited stone henge, Glastonbury, Lacock and Devizes all worth a visit. We went to the monthly market on the Sunday too which is also worth going to if you are there 1st Sunday of the month. Good week all round thank you

- David, September 2022
Julie September 2022

“Lovely cottage, great facilities and spotless.”

The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Everything we needed for a lovely break away.

- Julie, September 2022

Julie, we're delighted you had such a lovely break. Thank your for your kind words. We hope to see you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Victoria August 2022

“Cottage was lovely, clean and all the amenities that you can possibly need for a week away.”

Lovely welcome basket, fluffy towels and crisp white bedding. Only fault was the mattresses on the bunk beds were uncomfortable, could do with being replaced. The main bedroom bed was lovely and comfy. Cottage a short walk away from town shops and restaurants. Perfectly located.

- Victoria, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback Victoria, much appreciated. I'll look into the bunk bed mattresses. I'm glad you had an enjoyable stay at Troopers and we hope to see you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Jacqueline August 2022

“Beautifully presented cottage with a glorious welcome pack!”

The games and books in the cottage were really appreciated by us all. The washing machine, airer and iron helped us with only needing to take clothes for a week as they could be cleaned and looking good for our second cottage stay week. My only gripe.. I could have done with a small freezer in the fridge, but that was forgotten on opening the gift of prosecco!

- Jacqueline, August 2022

Hi Jacqueline, thank you for your kind feedback, much appreciated. I'm glad you had such a good time. There is a small freezer in the cupboard off the kitchen (next to the bathroom door). Sorry if it wasn't obvious, I'll make a note in the welcome manual. We'd love to see you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Heike July 2022

“Tolles, sehr sauberes Cottage.”

Super Lage, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Pubs, Geschäfte, alles fußläufig zu erreichen. Nette, sehr ruhige Nachbarschaft. Ein Präsentkorb mit Leckereien aus der Region stand bereit plus ein paar Lebensmittel im Kühlschrank, wofür wir uns herzlich bedanken. Leider haben wir die Gastgeberin nicht persönlich kennengelernt, deshalb bedanken wir uns auf diesem Wege ganz herzlich für die tolle Unterkunft, es hat an nichts gefehlt, evtl. wäre mehr Geschirr und Besteck praktisch das man nicht so oft die Spülmaschine anstellen muss. Wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.“

- Heike, July 2022

Danke für ihre netten Worte Heike. Genießen Sie London und wir freuen uns darauf, sie bald wieder im Troopers Cottage zu sehen, Anna Property Owner
Peter July 2022

“We had a very enjoyable stay in a cottage that was surprisingly quiet given its great location.”

The bedrooms were a little smaller than we had envisaged beforehand but were manageable. We loved Frome's many independent shops and hostelries. The goodie basket left was probably the best that we have ever had so many thanks for that. An extra key might have been helpful.

- Peter, July 2022

Thank you Peter, we're delighted you had such an enjoyable stay. We hope to see you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Jacqueline June 2022

“Excellent cottage”

- Jacqueline, June 2022

Great, I'm glad you liked Troopers Jacqueline. We look forward to seeing you again, Anna Property Owner
Louise June 2022

“I received update messages from the owner as well as from Sykes which added a personal touch.”

There was a lovely welcome basket in the cottage which went beyond our expectations. One of the cleanest holiday properties we've stayed in!

- Louise, June 2022

Thank you for your kind words Louise. Mel is delighted with your praise of her cleaning! Property Owner
Colin May 2022

The cottage was in first class condtion and very clean lovely basket of essentials left for us and Anna the owner was a joy to meet Thanks for a lovely week

- Colin, May 2022

Thank you Colin, you are most welcome! We look forward to seeing you again, Anna Property Owner
Patricia May 2022

“I had a lovely time at Troopers Cottage, which was perfectly situated for trips out in the area, including Bath, Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury and Wells.”

I did wonder whether a property in a town location would be noisy at night, but the situation of the property in a cul de sac, and the thickness of the walls made it incredibly quiet and I slept better than at home. Anna was really helpful when I managed to lock myself in on my first day, and arrived to help in minutes. The treats which awaited my arrival were also very welcome. Highly recommended

- Patricia, May 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback Patricia, I'm glad you had such a lovely time. We'd love to see you at Troopers again next time you're visiting Somerset, Anna Property Owner
Ann April 2022

“A very clean, very well equiped and extremely comfortable cottage in a quiet area of town.”

There was everything we needed and the owner, Anna, had thoughtfully left us a welcome basket so we could make a drink as soon as we arrived after a long journey. Anna made us feel very welcome with messages a couple of days before we arrived and gave clear instructions on how to get in. She also left details about the cottage and area. We felt confident that had there been any questions or problems she would quickly respond. We would have no hesitation in re booking Troopers Cottage or recommending it.

- Ann, April 2022

Thank you Ann, praise indeed! It's very kind of you. Take care and we look forward to welcoming you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Ian April 2022

“Very quiet spot with great dog walks only 5 minutes away.”

Very clean. Lovely comfortable bed but would have been better with blackout blinds. Another small pan would have been useful. Very comfortable and smart in a great location for town and country. Absolutely no parking problems. Door mat would have been essential had it rained. Fortunately we enjoyed a dry and quite sunny week.

- Ian, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback Ian, most helpful. I'm glad you had a good stay at Troopers Cottage. We hope to see you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Jill April 2022

“Second bedroom very small would be almost impossible for 2 adults.”

Otherwise fine, DVD player would have been nice and a potato masher! We had a great time and brilliant location for markets etc as so central.

- Jill, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback Gill, most helpful. I'll make sure a DVD player and potato masher are added. We'd love to see you at Troopers Cottage again, Anna Property Owner
Ian March 2022

“Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

Lots of nice touches, including a welcoming basket. Thoroughly recommended.

- Ian, March 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback Ian. We're glad to hear you felt welcome and comfortable. We look forward to seeing you next time you're visiting Somerset, Anna Property Owner
John March 2022

“The Cottage was lovely and very comfortable.”

Its in a good location but parking in the street is not so good I would recommend parking around the back of the cottage it is much easier. The other suggestion I would like to suggest is that a non slip mat should be provided in the shower all in all very good accommodation.

- John, March 2022

We're glad you enjoyed staying at Troopers Cottage John and thank you for your feedback, most helpful. We look forward to welcoming you again soon, Anna Property Owner
Bettina February 2022

“A great holiday home.”

Ideally located to access the town and all that it has to offer. We put our walking boots on at the front door and enjoyed scenic walks - with a coffee stop in town on the way back. Car parked outside and we have had a very restful and re-energising week. Cottage super clean and comfortable. Highly recommended. We have every intention to return for another visit.

- Bettina, February 2022

Thank you Betina, you are most kind. I'm glad you had such a lovely break! See you soon, Anna Property Owner
Francesca February 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Troopers Cottage - it's really well located for central Frome and a great bonus to have on-street parking (usually right outside the property).”

Everything inside was immaculate, and very cosy and comfortable. It was the perfect size for a party of 3 and our wee doggie.

- Francesca, February 2022

Thank you for your kind words Francesca, much appreciated. We hope to see you at Troopers Cottage again soon, Anna Property Owner
Joanne February 2022

“Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable,we had a lovely stay”

- Joanne, February 2022

Thank you Joanne, I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves. You're welcome back any time, Anna Property Owner
David December 2021

“A lovely cottage with just a few missing practicalities - coathooks for v damp coats on door or wall nearby, a door mat at the back door for wet feet of the 2 and 4 legged variety.”

But most of all the bedstead - too large for the room and most difficult to climb over to get in and out. Having said that we loved the cottage and hope to come back.

- David, December 2021

Thank you for your feedback David. We're glad you loved Troopers Cottage so much. A new bed (a double rather than the current kingsize, which can be accessed from the end also), is being delivered in 2 weeks. I'll have some coat hooks put up too. We look forward to welcoming you again to Troopers Cottage in the near future, meanwhile we'd like to wish you a Happy New Year. Property Owner
Evelyn December 2021

“We thought that Troopers Cottage was wonderful; it was perfect for our family stay and had everything we needed.”

It was clean and well presented and we were left some lovely treats which were very much appreciated! And the dog loved it too. My only tiny thing would be perhaps some coat hooks could be added by the front door? Only as a family of 4 we had a lot of coats (!) but that really is only a minor suggestion and wouldn’t stop us from booking again!

- Evelyn, December 2021
Val September 2021

“Lovely location.”

Sounds home to from home great comfy bed

- Val, September 2021
Andrew September 2021

“Furnished to a very high standard and kitted out very well for a weeks stay, close to a good cocktail bar, french restaurant and Artisan pub.”

Great walks with the dog from the cottage across the rive and over the fields. We had a lovely stay.

- Andrew, September 2021
Michelle July 2021

“Cottage was just like description.”

Thoughtfully presented & well equipt. Lovely fluffy towels, comfy beds & good shower. Enclosed garden lovely to sit in on an evening. Good position for exploring Frome town. Good touring location. We visited Stonehenge, Durdle Door, Bath, Cheddar Gorge & Bradford upon Avon. From the top of the street you can see a white horse on the hills (on a clear day). This is Bratton Camp & White Horse. We went there too & the views are amazing. All in all a lovely family holiday. Would love to come back & would definitely recommend. Thank you.

- Michelle, July 2021
Kelly June 2021

“The cottage was in great condition, small issue we had with the shower was resolved very quickly.”

Everything was in great condition and even better than expected. In a great location to enjoy the town too.

- Kelly, June 2021
Michael June 2021

“A fantastic week (4 - 11 June) at TC and totally relaxing experience was shared by all three of us.”

The cottage was clean and well equipped. The garden was private and secure for the dog. Parking was never a problem either. Proximity to the town was a bonus as everything was within walking distance. Whatcombe Fields were great for free running the dog followed by a River walk into town for a well earned coffee at one of the many cafes. Plenty of small towns worthy of a visit within three quarters of an hour drive too. Anna the host was always available to answer any questions. We would definitely return.

- Michael, June 2021
Andrew May 2021

“A lovely property.”

Great base for exploring the county. Owner was brilliant.

- Andrew, May 2021
Kenneth May 2021

“Cottage was really small.”

No room to put away anything. The cottage is in a narrow street in Frome. So you feel hemmed in. Not good car parking in front of cottage. Bed rooms tiny no room to swing a cat.

- Kenneth, May 2021
Emma May 2021

“We had an amazing holiday, the cottage was compact but perfect for 2 people, well equipped with everything we needed.”

The location is great for exploring close by (Frome is great for shopping and lovely riverside walks for miles) and further a field, Wells, Stourhead, Shearwater etc The only thing I would change to make it better is to replace the bed frame with one without a footboard as this would help with the restricted space in the bedroom. I’d recommend to future visitors that you pack dishwasher tablets as only 2 are provided and no one wants to wash up when on holiday.

- Emma, May 2021
Nikki May 2021

“A lovely cottage in a super location.”

Nicely refurbished with everything provided for a very enjoyable holiday. Highly recommended !

- Nikki, May 2021
Alison April 2021

“Perfect little cottage, small and cosy, perfectly furnished.”

Loved all the homely little touches, flowers, cushions and throws. Very high standard of furnishing and excellent quality in bedding/towels, crockery. Every kitchen appliance or gadget you could possibly need. Fantastic location, so easy to walk everywhere. Good public transport links to explore further afield. Anna the host was extremely helpful when we had a small disaster on the sun night/Monday morning.

- Alison, April 2021

“Troopers Cottage is in a very interesting town which is well worth exploring.”

Previous reviews have highlighted the advantages of this recently renovated historic cottage and I concur with everything said. Because the internal dimensions are small great use has been made of the space but storage for clothes and coats etc is limited. The King sized bed is really comfy but difficult to access - anyone with mobility issues please note. But the fixtures, fittings, crockery and furniture are all top notch and it was always nice to get “home”. Wi fi was also excellent and the parking seemed to work ok even though it’s first come, first served.

“Was such a lovely cottage - clean, comfortable, really well equipped - a very relaxing and low key stay.”

There was only room to get out of one side of the double bed, but that's the only downside I can think of. Would also recommend the Old Bath arms in Frome for probably the nicest pub Sunday lunch we've had in ages - the food was so good.

“Anna was so helpful.”

The cottage was very clean and well equipped. It was perfect to explore Frome and the local area. We loved our week away and it really felt like a home from home

“The cottage was clean and very comfortable.”

Frome is an interesting town with lots of independent shops, easily reached on foot from the cottage. The bedrooms are rather small, although the beds themselves are comfortable. The stairs proved difficult for my wife, but would not be a problem for most. Overall the cottage was very good.

“Clean and well decorated cottage with lovely little sun trap garden.”

Very comfy king size bed in small bedroom so access at one side of the bed only and space there limited (perhaps a foot or less). 3 drawers for clothing space so pack light. Milk, coffee, tea and biccies kindly provided by owner.

“Pretty and pristine cottage just a few minutes walk from the centre of Frome.”

Very well presented; the owners have given a lot of thought to guests’ comfort and it shows. We had a lovely stay.

“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.

The property

This stunning 1720s Georgian small and cosy cottage is situated in the heart of the conservation area of Frome.

Just a five minute walk from the artisan Catherine Hill, with its wonderful selection of independent shops and cafes, and a short stroll from the centre of this popular independent market town, this unique and historic property is a rare treat.

Troopers Cottage has undergone extensive renovation work in the last couple of years to restore key original features and now offers a stylish, well-presented combination of modern comforts and early Georgian architecture.

If you are looking for peace and tranquillity, then this is the holiday property for you.

Thick stone walls keep Troopers Cottage cool and calm in the summer and toasty warm in the winter: an all year round holiday experience that is rarely available.

If you can tear yourself away from Frome, you will find Longleat House and Safari Park 15 minutes away by car; the peaceful Roman/Georgian city of Bath a mere 25 minutes distance and the vibrant city of Bristol just 45 minutes away.

The surrounding area is also home to two of Somerset’s areas of outstanding natural beauty – Mendip Hills and Cranbourne Chase – as well as Wiltshire’s famous Stonehenge.

Upon entering this open plan cottage, you will arrive in the cosy living area, which is dominated by the incredible original stone fireplace and bread oven.

Brick partitions show some Victorian-era additions, separating the cooking area from a small warming seat that you are welcome to sit on!

You can relax throughout the day on your choice of a leather sofa or occasional chairs while you watch live television or your favourite Netflix shows on the Smart TV, or choose from one of our offered range of books and board games.

The cottage benefits from luxury vinyl flooring throughout, as well as many USB points to allow for easy charging.

The super modern kitchen area consists of a glass dining table that seats four people and a bar stool to make cooking more of a sociable occasion.

The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, washer dryer, electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer and microwave.

You will also find a toaster and a coffeemaker to make breakfast easy for all.

A stylish bathroom is also found on the ground floor, complete with walk-in shower, sink basin, heated towel rail and WC, as well as storage for your toiletries. Going up the carpeted stairs and past a stunning oak newel post, you arrive at the cottage’s two bedrooms.

The double bedroom looks out onto the quiet Dickensian-style street through two deep set windows with wide sills.

A chest of drawers and set of hooks are provided for your clothes, as well as a hair dryer.

In the single bedroom, you will find bunk beds sized for adults, as well as another chest of drawers and set of hooks.

To the rear of the cottage, there is a fully enclosed small garden with a lawn and a patio area.

A glass table with an umbrella for those balmy sunny days has four comfortable chairs so that you can relax out in the sun after a busy day of exploring.

Dog owners will be pleased to know that the fencing is six feet tall and benefits from a latched gate.

The history buffs among you may be interested in some of the history behind Troopers Cottage.

Pictures around the cottage display various versions of the street and the building itself and you can find out more by delving into several provided books on the conservation area of Frome.

Trinity Street, formerly known as Trooper’s Street, is steeped in centuries of historical interest.

Not least is the 19th Century Holy Trinity church at the end of the street: a Grade II listed building with pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows designed by Edward Burne-Jones. Frome has appeared in The Sunday Times’ “best places to live in the UK” every year from 2017 to 2020, due to its abundance of history and natural beauty along with a wealth of independent shops.

There are more listed buildings in Frome than in any other town in Somerset and an annual festival in July showcases the town’s vast cultural offering.

Known as Somerset’s original market town (with Trooper’s Street originally built as a market street), Frome has held markets for centuries and continues to run its bustling independent market on the first Sunday of the month from March right through to December.

The river Frome is a short walk away and provides the perfect backdrop for a tranquil afternoon stroll.

Dog owners will find plenty of green spaces to exercise their companions, including the community-owned Whatcombe Fields.

Plenty of restaurants and cafes can be found near the cottage and the city of Bath also offers a vast selection of eateries along with the Southgate Shopping Centre and the Thermae Bath Spa – Britain’s only natural thermal hot springs.

The larger city of Bristol is known globally for its urban art and music scene and plays host to endless gigs, events and art exhibits as well as providing a wealth of inviting attractions such as the We The Curious interactive science centre, leading contemporary arts hub the Arnolfini, the exciting Bristol Zoo and numerous spot-as-you-walk Banksy street art pieces.

Troopers Cottage sits in a truly enviable location that benefits from both the peace and quiet of semi-rural town life and the plethora of culture, events and activities in Frome and the surrounding area.

It is best placed to let you explore everything that Somerset has to offer.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
