Lovely peaceful spot

The apartment is spacious, warm and welcoming. We wanted a NYE hideout after a full on Christmas week and this was the perfect place.

Spacious well-appointed loft in rural idyllic setting

In a village short of holiday accommodation this is a welcome find for anyone keen to enjoy the delights of Mells and the surrounding area. The studio flat works well and is near enough to the village that the car can be dispensed with for a few days of simplicity. Little touches by the host make it feel very welcoming, and the loft is perfectly well appointed. The Talbot Inn (Weds-Sun) and Walled Garden (daily to 5pm) offer local possibilities for eating out.

Great stay, highly recommended!

Huge space, spotlessly clean & comfortable with really fast WiFi. Mells is a beautiful village with a great pub 10 mins walk from the Loft. Easy to get to Frome, Bath etc. Would definitely return.

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.
