The Undercroft - Luxury studio in heart of Frome.

The Undercroft is a private luxury studio on the lower level of The Old Church House opposite St Johns Church. Private entrance, Courtyard Garden, double bed, WiFi, TV, ensuite Grohe shower, plentiful storage space. Just a few steps from Frome's cafes, bars, shops and restaurants. Kitchenette with filtered drinking water, Nespresso machine and fridge. Sophisticated air filtering system, air is replaced 6 times an hour. Plentiful parking nearby.
The space
The Undercroft is pretty much that - the lower ground floor of The Old Church House, dating back to Tudor times. And it's just so cosy and welcoming. A stunning space we've renovated to afford our guests a remarkable experience right in the beating heart of Frome. It comes with it's own Courtyard Garden where you can sit out, work or watch the world go by.
It's had many incarnations in the past, not least as the storage shed for the town fire pump. The entrance is an original Tudor arch, walls are original Tudor stone. Beamed ceiling. We've built the ensuite shower and loo using reclaimed elm and pine creating a a wonderful textural feel set against the stone walls.
There are minimal cooking facilities. You will have a Nespresso coffee machine, a kettle, a fridge with some welcome goodies for you.
We've fitted a highly sophisticated air extraction/filtration system that replaces the air in the room 6 times every hour. It has a biological antiviral and antimicrobial filter, heat exchanger and dehumidifier. The air inside is fresh, light and relaxing.
The view from the studio is stunning - looking over St Johns Church Graveyard and its famous Via Crucis - The Stations of The Cross.
It's south facing so is bathed in sunlight in the morning.
the Undercroft is under our house and below our living room, so we've installed a full sound insulation system. You won't be able to hear us and we won't be able to hear you! The limitations are that due to the wooden beams which transmit sound, it was impossible to completely cut out footsteps unless we hid the beams and sound insulated them. However the sound of steps are very soft and barely noticeable. Our two Jack Russells sometimes scamper around, again it's rare and hardly noticeable. If there's any issue for you we'd love you to inform us and we'll make sure it stops.
Other noise issues that can arise, particularly at weekends is pub closing time - we are in the heart of the town and there may be a bit of boisterous folk up and down the steps. In our experience living here -we hear it too - it is usually brief and things soon quieten down. Also, early in the mornings you can get deliveries to nearby shops and the pub. It's a busy town centre so you have to expect some noise. However, living here, at night it is literally as quiet as a graveyard. Surprisingly so. (once everyone is abed).
One advantage is, being so close to a bakery and La Strada cafe, you may emerge from the studio to smell the croissants being cooked. Heavenly.
Guest access
The whole studio is self-contained with it's own private entrance. It's all yours:-) There is a key safe on the wall.
