So happy we found Rook Lane House for our stay in Frome. Claire was very welcoming and a fantastic host. We arrived early and were able to park at the house (a huge benefit in Frome) before heading out to explore the town. …

We visited in March 2024! Claire (the host) could not have been more welcoming and hospitable! It felt like being welcomed into their house (in all the best ways possible).The history of the building is amazing - that being said, the rooms are very modern, clean and spacious!There is a lovely variety of breakfast items both on the menu and a selection of cereal, toast and fruit! The full English was so nice that I had it twice!Located in Frome, we were blown away by the brilliant town centre and variety of pubs and restaurants!We visited over my birthday (visiting the spa at Centre Parcs) - a family member had called in advance and arranged for a bottle and some sweet treats to be in my room.Claire really did go above and beyond to make our stay a 10 out of 10.Thank you! If we are ever passing through Frome, we will stay again!

We were welcomed by the owner Claire who was just delightful. She also showed us where to park on site. The B&B is 400 years old but been decorated to a very high standard. Our room was large and tasteful with refreshments and toiletries provided. The shower was huge. Breakfast was booked for the next day which I must add was delicious.The house itself had lots of character which I loved. It was central to the quirky shops and restaurants. We also walked to a gin tasting experience nearby.Claire made the stay so much more enjoyable though. She really was the perfect host.We would highly recommend.

We stayed here overnight while attending a concert in Frome. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet and we liked the hot drink options including coffee bags and hot chocolate. The property is within easy walking distance of the centre and by a bus stop where you can get a bus to Bath. Breakfast was great with a good range of options for vegetarians and vegans too. The host was very attentive throughout our short stay and gave us tips on local eateries. We will definitely return if we stay in Frome again.

We loved our stay at Rook Lane House. Beautiful house, the breakfast was wonderful and the host Claire is honestly so accomodating and nothing is too much trouble. She accommodated our early check in no problem and let us leave our car there a little longer than we should have the next day which was very helpful for us. Thanks again Claire for making our first visit to Frome so wonderful.Fern and Jade :)
