Frodos, Henstridge

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.

A very relaxing holiday, we enjoyed the peace and quiet, the host was lovely.

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.

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

Fantastic hostess, she made us feel very welcome and even shared produce from her garden with us!

We enjoyed it all. The owner was very helpful.

Everything was perfect - cottage was warm and cosy and we were reluctant to leave.

The location, the cottage and the owner could not have been more helpful. I asked for the cottage at such short notice in fact the same day and it all happened in a matter of a few hours, all ready when I arrived. Could have not asked for better. Thank you!

It was a lovely place to stay. The owners are lovely people and made both of us very welcome. They made it a lovely week for us and will be going again next year. This property is very cosy and we would recommend it to anyone.

The cottage was just right. Warm, cosy and clean. I would definitely go back.

Found the holiday had everything we were looking for, it was very comfortable, we found it just what we wanted, and very central for the many things that we did while on our break. Would certainly go back again in the future.

We have been to this property before and knew it was the right choice. The on-site owner is friendly and helpful, the location of the property is ideal for touring Dorset, the property is more than sufficient for two people, the garden is beautiful and it was lovely to sit outside in the evenings.

Lovely little cottage, perfectly positioned to explore Somerset and Dorset, plus in easy walking distance to the nearby pubs.

Very peaceful, lots of things to do within not that far a drive.

Easy access to historic venues.

Good location, very welcoming greeting and lovely area with good local amenities.

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!

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

The location was great for exploring the countryside and villages in Dorset and Southern Somerset. The shared patio and garden was a lovely space for relaxing and the owner was very welcoming.

Ideally situated for touring gorgeous Somerset and Dorset. The owner was very friendly and hospitable.

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.

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

The Cottage, the owner, the area. We visited Fleet Air Arm Museum, Haynes Motor Museum, Longleat, Dorchester and its County Museum, Maiden Castle Hill Fort, Montacute House, The Swannery, Sherborne Abbey. Plenty of places to eat. We did hardly any cooking at all. We felt completely relaxed and at home. Cannot praise this holiday enough. We hope to return in the not too distant future.
