Cosy countryside retreat, edge of Frome near Bath. Pets welcome.
In the heart of Somerset's most stunning countryside, The Loft is a light, bright spacious self-contained apartment at the far edge of Laurel Barn, an architect-designed house in the popular village of Mells.
With its own front door you climb the stairs to a large light space with everything you need for the perfect countryside retreat. Parking, Superfast wi-fi and fully equipped dining/living/bedroom area & ensuite bathroom with rainfall shower. This is 'loft' living at its best. Pets welcome.
With its own front door you climb the stairs to a large light self contained studio space with everything you need for the perfect countryside retreat.
We have a fully equipped kitchen with sink, hob, single electric oven with grill, toaster, kettle, fridge with freezer compartment, cutlery, crockery and storage. Kitchen basics are also included so you don't have to worry, plus a cleaning kit & supplies for that first cup of tea or coffee.
Next to the kitchen is a wooden table and seating for four people, perfect for eating, working or just relaxing with a coffee. We have a brand new King size bed with memory foam mattress, a bedside table alongside, hanging space plus chest of drawers with lots of storage. This is where you will find the hair drier & ironing board & iron for guest use.
Off the larger living & sleeping space is a newly fitted en-suite bathroom with rainfall shower, wash basin and WC. Shampoo, shower gel & hand soap included.
Our eco-friendly, cosy space is warmed by underfloor heating and has superfast fibre wi-fi. We also provide all bed linen & towels and welcome up to two well behaved dogs.
EV charging on request - charges apply. Please ask for more details.
You can enjoy the beautiful countryside with morning coffee on our outdoor cafe style table & chairs or take some comfy reclining sun loungers over to the 'Loft lawn'.
We are dog and child friendly, but only have a King Size bed that sleeps 2 guests, plus an infant using a travel cot. However, if you have smaller toddlers or children please get in touch as we might be able to help accommodate additional guests.
Whether you’re looking to get away from it all & unplug or totally immerse yourself in everything this area has to offer, The Loft will give you a great base from which to explore.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa S

I am very lucky to spend a lot of time in both Somerset & Cornwall. I grew up in Frome so know the area well & first went to Sennen in Cornwall when I was a baby with my family & have been visiting ever since. Even though I love home, travelling is my favourite thing to do & I have been lucky enough to stay in some amazing places over the years so would like to think this helps me provide a great place & experience for guests.
Why they chose this property
Mells is a stunning village, so it's a brilliant place to be, set deep in gorgeous countryside yet the train to London only takes 1hr 20 mins. We're 25 mins drive from Bath if you want some 'City' life & the ever quirky Frome is 5 mins drive away. On our doorstep though, literally, are all the perks of village life: Community Shop & Cafe, stunning views & walks, an award winning Pub & tons of other amazing places.
What makes this property unique
Tucked away in a corner of this gorgeous, historic village we have built a warm, eco-friendly modern house in a lovely setting, yet the centre of the village is only a few minutes walk away.
