This place has a wonderful host and is a delightful place to stay.It's in a little village with views toward Frome and rolling countryside. It was very quiet and relaxing.The welcome I got was outstanding, and I felt like I was meeting up with an old friend.As I hadn't eaten dinner, Chris gave me two options. He offered to take me to the local pub and pick me up later, or I could join him and eat an evening meal there. I'm so glad I chose the latter as I had a fabulous dinner and a very enjoyable evening.The room was large, and the bed was comfy. There is a lovely bathroom and a separate area with the kettle and hospitality tray. There was fresh milk, different teas and coffee, biscuits, sweet and savoury, bottled water, and cans of coke!Breakfast was cooked to exactly how I liked it, and I got everything I asked for.Everything and much more was provided, and I couldn't have asked for more. I got 5 star treatment for an extremely reasonable cost.I'd definitely stay again.
