About this property

Resting on the outskirts of the delightful, county town of Dorchester, lies this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, Frome Lodge House. Boasting off-road parking, gorgeous rural views, and great proximity to nearby amenities, this delightful dwelling welcomes a family or sharing couples seeking a relaxing, self-catered escape overlooking Frome Water Meadows. Set on ground-level, this lovely home boasts a well-presented, open-plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining room that benefitting from patio access, and a sitting area with a centrepiece woodburning stove. On sunny days, an enclosed furnished garden welcomes you and your loved ones to sit back, relax, and raise a glass of your favourite tipple to toast your getaway. When sleep calls, refresh with a long, hot shower before you finally retire for a well-earned slumber in either a king-size or single bedroom. If you can tear yourself away from your new lodgings, venture out to explore what your local surroundings have to offer. A countryside walk or bike ride can be started right outside your accommodation, whilst the popular pub of The Sun Inn at Charminster, which serves traditional pub grub, is just located just a brief stroll away. Take a walk into Dorchester, which has a terrific combination of shopping venues, eateries, and tourist attractions. The high street is peppered with well-known brands, which are complimented by independent outlets and boutiques. The town boasts more than four museums, including one dedicated to dinosaurs and another to Tutankhamun. The serene Borough Gardens have tennis courts, a play area and a traditional band stand. Other 'must dos' in and around Dorchester include a visit to the Iron Age Maiden Castle and an original Roman Townhouse. Additionally, a trip to visit the many beautiful landmarks and landscapes situated within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty should also be on your itinerary whilst you're in the region. Bring your loved ones for an unforgettable stay at Frome Lodge House.

Without seeing the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums, and variety of pubs and restaurants, a journey to Dorset would not be complete. Visit the County Museum, which contains a display dedicated to Thomas Hardy, who was born only two miles away in Bockhampton, and take a lovely walk around Maiden Castle, the biggest hillfort in England. Weymouth's beautiful beaches and port are only seven miles away, as are Portland's craggy peninsula, which is connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach and is a part of the stunning World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you'll get so enchanted by Dorset's enchantment that you won't want to leave when your time is through!

  • Terry

    ) is the over the bath shower, this really needs to be either replaced or sorted out as it is very poor That very small moan is the only thing that was not particularly good as everything else was great I would highly recommend this cottage and we WILL be looking to see when we can come back

  • Vanda

    It is comfortable and has a great location to walk into Dorchester. The garden is secure for our dog which is a needed as he will take himself off for a walk. We had a problem with the WiFi but a quick text and the owner sent someone to sort it within a couple of hours. So all in all a great stay and we will be back as the surrounding area has so much to offer.

  • Sandra

    I was really disappointed that the owners did not forewarn us. I don’t expect to be cleaning sludge / sewage and other unsightly grime from the bath & sink whilst trying to enjoy a break away with family. We still made the most of our break thanks to the lovely surrounding and nearby places to visit. But it was the not knowing what we were going to be faced with that put a damper on things
