Henstridge lies in the extreme south of Somerset and it's parish is separated from Dorset by Landshire Lane. Its name comes from the Olde English word 'henst', meaning 'horses' and translates as: "the ridge where stallions are kept". The ridge is the narrow strip of Jurassic limestone that runs through Henstridge and the nearby villages of Yenston and Whitechurch. Henstridge has an attractive church, which was consecrated in 1332. Unusually it has four altars. The porch was added in the 14th Century and the north aisle was built in the 15th Century. Nearby, you can explore a number of properties in the care of the National Trust, such as Stourhead House and Gardens and the historic town of Shaftesbury. Britain's most famous stone circle, Stone Henge, is only a short drive away and the Dorset coast offers the best of coastline and countryside.

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.
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.
Frodos was quiet, tranquil and not too far from amenities.The owner was very friendly.

It is a comfortable cottage in a peaceful location and was lighter and felt more spacious than I had expected from the photos.
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!
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.
This property was great, exactly where we needed to be. A great week only made better by the comfortable accommodation.
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.
Our hostess was very congenial, helpful and thoughtful. Our stay was very pleasant and restful. The location bordering Dorset allowed us to explore several counties within a short period of time.

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.
We stayed here with our 2 month old son on our first holiday as a family, we found the facilities at Frodos perfect for our needs and the owners were very helpful and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back again.
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.
Frodos is fantastic!

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 owner was excellent and made it more than just a holiday cottage.
