A lovely, comfortable and peaceful retreat within walking distance of Frome town centre, and the Saturday market. We only had time for a flying visit, it was handy for us going to a concert at Wiltshire Music Centre in Bradford on Avon. We will be back for a longer stay next time.

We had a wonderful break as we always do at Holmwood, it’s literally like music for the soul. We’ll see you again.

We’ve had a lovely time in the coach house. A very relaxing place to stay and we especially enjoyed the fire on the cold evenings. Fab weather for the market on Sunday topped off by a late lunch at the ever popular bistro Lotte!

The Coach House is a very comfortable, very quiet, well appointed house with easy access on foot to an interesting town full of diverting independent shops and excellent eateries. We had a very relaxing, quiet time in the Coach House and in Frome and will certainly think of returning one day.

Thank you Nicola and Chris for another lovely relaxing week at the coach house. We enjoyed walking around Witham Friary and visiting the historic Seymour Arms pub. Great to see young artists in Britain at the ‘Present Tense’ exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, and visit St Mary’s Church. Bruton also a great place to walk. We can recommend The Talbot Inn at Mells, for a celebration and the Mells village cafe. Despite the wet weather, the wildlife in the garden has been fantastic – especially the great spotted woodpecker and nuthatch. Best of all the screaming foxes getting frisky on the lawn! We hope to return very soon.

Once again we have had a most enjoyable stay at your coach house. Everything was spotless and comfortable as usual and, of course, the location is just perfect. We hope to stay with you again sometime in the future.

Thanks for a lovely weekend in the coach house. I think it’s the first time we haven’t got the picnic chairs out for a drink in the garden, but hardly surprising given it’s the middle of December. I opened the curtains on our final morning and saw a fox padding through the garden. Linda missed it, but she did see badgers on a previous visit! 

We had a lovely time again.

Thank you for yet more special time spent at Holmwood. I always leave feeling fully rested and rejuvenated.

After almost six weeks in the UK, we ended our trip here. We have stayed in many places in the UK and the US, and the coach house is the very best. The location is stunning and private. The house is flawlessly appointed with great attention to detail that is apparent in every room. The many windows and skylights bring in abundant light. We had lunch outside with apples pulled from the trees, and we listened to the caw of the jackdaws and were convinced that no one could feel stressed in the midst of all that calm and beauty. We are grateful to Nicola and Chris and can’t wait to return (Sawday’s review).
