Lovely quiet accomodation in rural setting.. Well placed to visit lots of different places along the coastline . Roads really quiet but care needs to be taken as speed limits vary

The cottage is centrally located and thus very convenient for local pubs, restaurant and shop.. It is an excellent location for walkers having many paths leading almost directly from the property. There is ample parking nearby and we didn't need to use our car once although there are places to visit by car nearby. Locals are very friendly.

Mrs Pollard

June 2019

The cottage was perfect : clean, cosy, warm and calm, with a very nice garden.. The owner is very friendly and caregiver. We choose the right place to visit Salisbury's Cathedral, Dunster Castle, Chalice Well, we had a lovely journey with West Somerset Railway (Steam Train) etc. Thanks again to our lovely owner.

Mr Rasmussen

December 2018

The cottage was lovely

Mr George

We found the cooking facilities to be limited.. The fridge is in a cold lobby outside the main accommodation. The accommodation did what we wanted and we had a lovely New Year break. It's a beautiful part of the country, what's not to like.

Mr Brandon-joyce

November 2018

Second trip to Frodos.. Lovely new bathroom and bedroom. Wasn't bad before now very good.

Mr Wright

September 2018

Great little cottage.. The only issue is the listing says there is parking but the only parking is on street round the corner (if available)

Mrs Curtis

July 2018

Any short falling with facilities at Frodos was more than made up with the lovely owner, the friendly locals in the village and its central location for us.. We had a car and were able to visit so many places from here.

Mr Jackson

June 2018

Plenty to do in the area if you want to be on the go.. Nice pub for meals in the village a few minutes walk away. We spent most evenings with a book and a drink sat outside on the patio in the lovely garden.

Mrs Peacey

Frodos and Mrs Browning the owner were just so lovely.. The cottage was well kept and the garden was beautiful. It was so peaceful and we had good weather which always helps.

Henstridge is convenient for touring some beautiful English countryside. We stayed over Christmas, and the owners of this nicely appointed property had decorated it for the season and added some other little details. Being at the rear of the owners' house ensures an absence of noise, and the heating works well.

Mr Willott

May 2016

The cottage was cosy and comfortable with everything we needed, including the use of the very large garden. It is surrounded by many places to visit with a friendly host living in the main house. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

May 2015

The cottage was very clean and tidy, the hosts were friendly, but did not interfere. Being Easter, they had even left us a card and chocolate Easter Bunny! The village of Henstridge is just off the beaten track, but within easy reach of several historic and interesting market towns, plus as much beautiful countryside as you could wish for!

Mr Streluk

April 2015

The cottage was perfectly comfortable and peaceful. The hosts were welcoming and friendly; approachable without being pushy. The location was exactly where we wanted to be to explore an area that we had not visited before.

Mr Lippitt

March 2015

This property was great, exactly where we needed to be. A great week only made better by the comfortable accommodation.

Mr Evershed

Although in the middle of a village, it was extremely quiet. The garden was huge and even in winter attractive and child friendly – in summer it must be beautiful. The cottage was well laid out, the bed comfortable and the kitchen, while small, was well equipped. We were made to feel welcome and we shall certainly be back.

Mr Taylor

September 2014

An excellent value for money cottage. Quiet location. Very pleased and we would return.

Our host was very friendly and happy for us to share her large patio and garden. She was also kind enough to lend us extra cutlery when we had friends over for a barbecue. A very enjoyable holiday in a good location for exploring Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. Frodo's is small but had everything we needed. The only downside was the village itself which didn't have a lot to offer.

Mr Giles

September 2011

Frodos is fantastic!

Mr Freilich

The attentiveness, care, approachability, and 'apple cake' of the cottage owner coupled with the delightfulness of the area to make our stay wonderful. There was plenty to do and see in the area.

A friendly, welcoming hostess who was able to advise about local places of interest and refreshment.

Henstridge makes an excellent centre for visiting several NT houses and gardens and other historical sites in Somerset and Dorset. We also enjoyed some long walks, favoured by the weather. The house is well equipped and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the garden for sitting out. Least convenient was the on-street parking, sometimes having to go some distance to find a space.
