"The room was clean with a very comfortable bed and the location was perfect - walking distance to town and quiet. The breakfast included hot items off a menu and a self-serve breakfast bar, more than I could eat. The managers were friendly and helpful. A good value. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in Frome."

"We were attending a wedding at the hotel and on the day the electricity went off. It was completely out of the hands of the hotel but the staff worked tirelessly to ensure the wedding reception could go ahead. There was no power from 6am until late into the evening but somehow they kept everything on track and the event was a huge success. How they managed to serve such high quality food under the circumstances I don’t know. I’m sure they were all exhausted by the end of the day, but thank you for all your efforts!!"
