"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!
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

"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.“
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

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

"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
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

"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.
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

"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.
Thank you for your feedback Ian, most helpful.

"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.

"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.
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

"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!

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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

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.

"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.
