The Old Parlour - timber clad cosy converted cow shed

The Old Parlour is a cosy converted milking parlour offering ground floor accommodation for four.

Our hidden gem is tucked behind secure gates in the farmyard at Blatchbridge Farm, offering guests a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay. Blatchbridge is a pretty hamlet only five minutes’ drive/thirty minutes’ walk from Frome with its independent market, shops and diverse cuisine. The local pub, The Cross Keys, is a minutes’ walk from the cottage, offering good bitter, cider, and food.

The detached cottage has a sun flooded open plan living space; there's a four-seater dining table and two comfy sofas, wood burner and kitchen area equipped with a controllable electric AGA.

There are two pretty bedrooms providing easily accessible accommodation. One of the bedrooms has a 5' bed with an en suite shower and the other double/twin bedroom has a 5' zip and link bed. There is a further wet room with walk-in shower. Outside, there’s a shared seating area and small private patio.

Lovely accommodation, brilliant hosts
Lovely property, owners welcoming and friendly. Very helpful. Property was nice and quiet which allowed us to have a relaxed holiday. Pub just a 30 second walk away that offered great food. Shared zone was pretty call although the weather didnt allow us to use it as much as we could have done. Would happily stay there again.
