    Located in the heart of Frome, this refurbished hotel is a mixture of modern and medieval history…read more With it's exposed wooden beams and country feel, the perfect romantic getaway or relaxation oasis. Although, it's not the place for giants as there are low ceilings or if you're not good stairs as it's a bit like the Burrow from Harry Potter. The upstairs rooms on the top floor are deluxe double beds, with an ensuite, a large old fashioned bathtub, tv and complimentary tea and coffee. If you prefer a shower, the rooms located in the courtyard near the pub are the one for you. Make sure to take advantage of the barn style pub and restaurant, which serve up good quality seasonal food at reasonably prices if you're not after the usual pub grub. I enjoyed a classic beef burger which hit the spot and the tasting plate, accompanied by local beer and cider. For breakfast, there is proper cafe quality coffee and tea is by UK brand teapigs. There is a range of hot and continental options. I had the eggs royale, which exceeded my expectation of hotel breakfasts. After researching and sussing out a few places to stay, this one seemed the best, a real small town gem. I'll definitely be back!

    The restaurant is housed in a beautiful medieval house, possibly part of a monastery of sorts…read more There is a walkway with seating areas on one side and a bar on the other. The dining area is on two levels above the street level. The service is very friendly and prompt. Food is imaginative, delicious, but somewhat lacking in the oomph factor. The sautéed livers with pancetta on brioche was the winner among the appetisers. The server informed us that they were out of salmon and goats cheese, so two of the five appetisers were unavailable. The lamb with the neck croquette was well cooked, flavoured, but somehow didn't hit the spot. The rump was a tad dry. Probably just the wrong day. Well done on the dessert. Both the date pudding (they ran out of figs which were an addition to this one) and the ginger cheesecake, were very done. Great place to stop by if you're in the Mendip area.

    Awful Managment! Went for a Christmas Works meal, after getting a drink at the bar and being seated…read morefor a while our food started to come out. Asked the waiter if we could order another round of drinks at the table to be told he'd asked his manager and that we could only order at the bar. Having empty glasses I left my food to get some drinks at the bar. The manager that made that decision could see me waiting however continued to have a conversation with a punter across the room for a further 10 minutes, when he eventually came over I mentioned I'd been waiting a while to which he accused me of being rude making everyone there look up! I insisted that I only mentioned I'd been waiting a while and I am annoyed because he wasn't working he was just chatting and that my food had now gone cold, all because we wanted another drink. This manager should not be in this role. Very unprofessional and overall a very unpleasant experience. Avoid if you don't like to be spoken to like dirt!!

    If people-watching and historical interest are your thing, then The George Hotel (formerly The…read moreGeorge Inn) is a good place to go. Right smack-bang in the middle of town ocerlooking the Market Place, this Inn has been here for centuries. Nowadays it's a modern hotel (with some private parking) and bar/restaurant for non-residents and residents alike. It's got a couple of claims to fame. Firstly, back when the Abolition of Slavery was making it's cause felt there was a meeting called by local Abolitionists to be held in the George on Thursday 3rd february 1826 - at 11 o'clock. Various local 'names' were on this list such as the Sheppard family, a weathy mob who lived locally and have a street named after them. Although.. it has to be said that given the preponderance and strength of local beer and scrumpy cider then after half a dozen pints of local rot-gut they'd have completely forgotten what they were holding a meeting about in the first place. Ever likely abolition took so long to happen. Blame Frome The George being a gathering place for political radicals of many sorts, of their day, the second little claim to fame is that it was one of the original places where unruly protesters were literally 'read the Riot Act' from the balcony of the building. A framed copy of the Riot Act in it's entirety hangs in the main bar. Back to the present, the food in the restaurant is good quality if pretty basic, reasonable prices too. The beers are fairly middle-of-the road with several guest beers appearing from time to time. Good to call in for morning coffee or lunchtime drink with a snack and watch the world go by.

    Stayed at Babington House with some friends for a catch up weekend and had an amazing time. It is…read morepart of the soho house group although non members are able to stay on certain days of the week. The grounds are beautiful and well Kempton, definitely would suggest a walk in the walled flower garden! There is an on-site spa 'the Cowshed' which offers a range of treatments from massage and facials to manicures and waxing, as well as full use of the indoor and outdoor heated pool, sauna and steam room. There is a large dining room as well as a bar, games room and multiple smaller lounge areas for guests to relax in. I found the staff to be overall very friendly and welcoming. Negatives - service was at times a little slow especially at breakfast. At no point during my stay were there any hand towels in bathroom in the main house which means either they were not restocked at all or they need to be restocked more often. Overall, me and my friends had a great time and it was the perfect place for a relax and catch up. Sue.

    I wonder, would it be cost effective to sell my house and just live here for the rest of my life?…read moreCould I do that? That would be just perfect. Babbington House is part of the Soho House group, and swanky it is too. Doesn't come across as pretentious though. Small and cosy lounge rooms, dining room in the orangerie, indoor and outdoor pool, gym and the birthplace of Cowshed cosmetics means there is an amazing spa on site too with a huge range of treatments. Attention to detail seems to be a value above all others here, everything is perfect, everything is manicured, everything is worked hard to make it look like effortless luxury. It is so tranquil, even though there were obviously a large number of people there judging by the number of cars in the car park. I have no idea where they all were but everywhere we went we were alone, which was fine by us. All rooms have unlimited Cowshed products to use and test (for sale at the shop of course) and this was a nice touch. It is pricey, but is definitely one of those places where not a penny spent is regretted, and you are likely to crave the opportunity to return and spend more money.
