Property information

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

Neighbourhood information

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. Its location on the door step to two AONB - the Mendip Hills and Cranborne Chase - makes for ample walks and cycling, with walks along the nearby river Frome. The Old Parlour is also a great base for exploring Bath, Wells, Wookey Hole, Longleat House and Safari Park and tucked away gems like Nunney Castle. There are good railway links and easy access to the A361 and B3092, making Stonehenge, Salisbury, Bristol and the Mendips all within an hour’s drive.
