Troopers Cottage

Lovely little cottage on a quiet street within easy walking distance of Frome town centre.

Parking on the street outside the house was easy.

Our second stay at Troopers Cottage and it won’t be our last.

It’s a cozy cottage in a great location in Frome. The kitchen is well equipped and everything works. The bathroom, situated on the ground floor, is spacious and has a great large shower. The lounge is comfortable, as is the master bedroom. The second bedroom has bunk beds which we’ve never used. Trinity Street is very quiet and the free on-street parking, which is a Godsend in Frome, has never been an issue. The very centre of Frome is less than a 8-minute walk, the town’s two best pubs - The Griffin and The Ship - are less than a 5-minute stroll, as is one of Frome’s best restaurants, Bistro Lotte. So, all in all, Troopers is a great place to stay. The owner, Anna, is excellent and has made it very comfortable and very welcoming, and as I said previously, we’ll certainly be booking it again.

Our second stay at this cosy cottage.

Everything needed in the kitchen is provided. Welcome basket is a lovely touch. Comfortable chairs and bed.

On arrival, the cottage was warm and a generous welcome basket left.

The kitchen was well stocked with everything you'd need, although a spare cupboard for food would've been handy. The exposed fireplace is very attractive, although for someone with a very sensitive nose it does come at a cost, with a sooty smell that accompanies it. Mixing that with the doggie smell you unfortunately get with properies that allow pets, it's not ideal (maybe the furnishings/blankets could do with a wash to try to resolve that.) I don't think it was the best idea to try and fit in a second bedroom. Even as a solo traveller, the upstairs was small. I made it more tolerable by using the bunk bedroom as a clothes/baggage store and pushing the main bed to one side to be able to move around it without bashing legs on the radiator. Having to go downstairs to use the bathroom isn't an ideal feature if you are of the age where night time visits are required! The stairs are also steep, windy and no handrail at the top, so that needs to be considered by guests who have issues with mobility. I personally think it would have been much better to have a roomier bedroom and an en-suite upstairs with a sofa bed in the lounge to still sleep 3-4. The cottage is in a quiet area, although clearly not very affluent. Net curtains wouldn't go amiss in the lounge, as the pavement outside seems to be a frequently used thoroughfare. The location is good though, a short walk to the centre with lots close by. I can recommend the fish and chips from Paul's Plaice, which is only about 6 minutes walk. I was reliant on public transport and took a bus towards Shepton Mallet to Nunney, a pretty little village with a castle. There are also frequent buses to Bath. The D2x has less stops and was actually quicker to do than by train, and only £3 per trip. The first Sunday of the month is a market day, which was insanely busy. There are lots of nice pubs. The George Hotel and Granary did a nice Sunday roast. The Archangel has lots of 'nooks' and a open fire. If you're a beer fan, Palmer Street Bottle has a lovely selection. There are lots of walking options. The museum is free to visit, as is St John the Baptist Church, with just voluntary donations suggested. All in all, this was a cosy, well-equipped property that was suited to me as a solo traveller in a beautiful area of the country.

Troopers Cottage – 7-night stay We stayed at Troopers Cottage for a week and found it to be a handy base for exploring nearby towns and cities.

The location is excellent — easy to walk into the town, and parking was convenient. The cottage itself has a lot of history, which added charm, and the enclosed yard was perfect for our dog. Inside, the sofa was comfy, the kitchen functional, and the shower worked well. There were a few drawbacks. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive the welcome pack basket that previous reviews had praised. The mattresses were quite thin and uncomfortable, which made for achy backs and less restful nights. The internet was also frustratingly hit-and-miss. Overall, the cottage is fine for a short weekend break, but after a full week, we went home feeling a bit tired.

Excellent location and loved the history of the property.

Clean tidy and welcoming. A touch on the small side for a family of four, but perfect if you don't mind using the lounge as a your wardrobe. Mattresses could do with an upgrade as quite uncomfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed and shower was great. Would stay again.

very comfortable and well organised, thanks

Lovely cosy cottage in the historical area of Frome.

Generous welcome package upon arrival, parking on the doorstep and easy access to the town centre. Dog friendly and lots of good local walks. Many nice restaurants and pubs in the town. Very close to nearby towns and attractions. Highly recommended.

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.

Fantastic place to stay,facilities more than enough for two people.

Quiet and cosy. Plenty of information provided by owner which was very helpful. Would definitely stay there again

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.

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

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

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 .

Lovely cottage, spotless and very well placed

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 :)

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.

Lovely cottage in a quiet location just a 5 minute walk from the centre of town.

Easy to park. Very generous welcome pack, thank you.

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 ……

It's small especially in bedrooms but OK for short stay.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Lovely property, fantastic gift basket and warm welcome.

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

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Just what was needed!

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.

Lovely little cottage with decent facilities in walking distance to the town.

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

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.

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.

Lovely cottage and welcome hamper, the extra effort made the place easy to settle into.

Would highly recommend.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Lovely cottage, great facilities and spotless.

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

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.

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!

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.“

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.

Excellent cottage

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Lovely location.

Sounds home to from home great comfy bed

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.

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.

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.

A lovely property.

Great base for exploring the county. Owner was brilliant.

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.

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.

A lovely cottage in a super location.

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

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.

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.

Troopers cottage was beautiful and had everything required, the location is excellent and host was extremely helpful, had a lovely weekend here thank you

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.

Great location, perfect little cottage if you plan to spend a lot of time exploring as acts as a great little base.

Very comfortable and clean with good facilities.

Lovely little cottage with great character. Frome also great to visit. Owner is most helpful as well. Really glad we booked this. Andy

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.
