About this property
The Old Parlour - timber clad cosy converted cow shed
The Old Parlour is a cosy converted milking parlour offering ground floor accommodation for four.
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.
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.
