Balcony.
Private parking for 2 cars.

Please note: No children under 12 years old.
There are 3 steps to the patio, and a river in the grounds..
These properties are set in a small cluster of houses along a no-through road, just over 1 mile from the heart of Frome, a bustling market town with weekly markets and an ever-growing popular monthly market which takes over the town centre.
There are cobbled, pedestrianised streets with rivulets running down, and an array of cafés, individual shops, leisure and entertainment.
Herons’ Weir (ref EXY) and adjoining Dippers’ Folly (ref EXZ) have been converted from an old industrial workshop building and have been fitted out to a high standard with oak doors and furniture, and marble floors with underfloor heating on the ground floor.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom or shower room, some of which are en-suite.
The building sits next to the River Mells facing Jeffries Mill sluice and weir.
Both cottages have riverside sitting areas from which to relax with a drink and enjoy the wildlife and ever changing river setting - there are always plenty of birds and you may be lucky enough to see the heron, dippers, kingfisher, fish jumping and otters.
There are many picturesque villages within the region, offering great country and riverside walks, with a welcoming pub at the end.
The area makes an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding attractions, including Stonehenge, Longleat House, Safari Park and Gardens, Wells Cathedral and Bishops Palace, the spiritual town of Glastonbury with its abbey and tor, the amazing Cheddar Gorge, the designer outlet village at Street, a number of National Trust properties and the Roman city of Bath, with its Georgian buildings, sweeping crescents, spa baths and lively culture.

From verified guest
Lovely peaceful location by the river. Interesting walk into Frome over fields and along by the river taking about 35 minutes. The cottage is really well equipped with quality oak furniture and doors. Rachel is a very good host, friendly and eager to sort out any problems. Lots of interesting places within easy reach, Stourhead, Wells, Bruton and Nunney etc. Country walks straight from the cottage.

This is an exceptionally well equipped house in a lovely setting. It's ideal for exploring the area, either by car or on foot, and the very thoughtful and welcoming owner has provided a wealth of maps, leaflets and suggestions for walks. Frome is a lively and appealing small town with a great variety of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.
