About this cottage rental
Located just 1 mile away from the centre of Frome, yet in a peaceful location overlooking a river. . 3 steps to entrance.
Ground Floor:
Living/dining room: 40" Freeview Smart TV, French Doors To Balcony
Kitchen: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer, Dishwasher, Washing Machine
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
First Floor:
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed Ensuite: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet
Bedroom 2: Single (3ft) Bed, Pull Out Single (3ft) Bed (Flexible Sleeping Only). Electric central heating (underfloor on ground floor), electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Garden with patio and garden furniture. Balcony. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: No children under 12 years old. There are 3 steps to the patio, and a river in the grounds.. These properties are set in a small cluster of houses along a no-through road, just over 1 mile from the heart of Frome, a bustling market town with weekly markets and an ever-growing popular monthly market which takes over the town centre. There are cobbled, pedestrianised streets with rivulets running down, and an array of cafés, individual shops, leisure and entertainment. Herons’ Weir (ref EXY) and adjoining Dippers’ Folly (ref EXZ) have been converted from an old industrial workshop building and have been fitted out to a high standard with oak doors and furniture, and marble floors with underfloor heating on the ground floor. Each bedroom has its own bathroom or shower room, some of which are en-suite. The building sits next to the River Mells facing Jeffries Mill sluice and weir. Both cottages have riverside sitting areas from which to relax with a drink and enjoy the wildlife and ever changing river setting - there are always plenty of birds and you may be lucky enough to see the heron, dippers, kingfisher, fish jumping and otters. There are many picturesque villages within the region, offering great country and riverside walks, with a welcoming pub at the end. The area makes an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding attractions, including Stonehenge, Longleat House, Safari Park and Gardens, Wells Cathedral and Bishops Palace, the spiritual town of Glastonbury with its abbey and tor, the amazing Cheddar Gorge, the designer outlet village at Street, a number of National Trust properties and the Roman city of Bath, with its Georgian buildings, sweeping crescents, spa baths and lively culture. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.

Lovely Cottage
The cottage was very clean and had everything you would need. Good quality furnishings. Sofa's not very comfortable - shiny leather which you kept sliding off of! Apart from that very nice.

Absolutely loved our stay at Dippers Folly.
Absolutely loved our stay at Dippers Folly. The cottage was very clean, cosy and well equipped, there was nothing we needed. The location was amazing and peaceful and we loved the views of the river from our balcony. The host Rachel was friendly and welcoming on arrival and she clearly has made every effort to make sure everyone has the best stay possible. Would highly recommend Dippers Folly to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the countryside.

Our first escape from Lockdown so cleanliness and social distancing paramount.
Garden perfect site to picnic with our family living locally and take aways whilst watching for kingfishers (3) and dippers (9) sightings between us.
There are two dippers on the wall seen on our first evening - excitement means they are out of focus!

We had a lovely 4 night break at Dippers Folly, it is in a peaceful & quiet location with walks into the countryside right from the door, or just sit on the balcony or in the river garden watching the wildlife. The fixtures & fittings, linen etc are all of high quality, & the cleanliness was of an exceptional standard, very reassuring in these times! The owner was friendly & helpful yet unobtrusive. We loved it & will definitely return.

Great time at Dippers Folly.
Great time at Dippers Folly. The cottage was lovely and very well equipped with great instructions / info from the host. Very clean and good value. The master bed was a double rather than king or twins (which could be pushed together). That’s the only reason it did not score higher in our review. Well located for day trips out to Bath, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury and Stonehenge.

Very well appointed and spotlessly clean, with very high standard of furniture and appliances (although the leather sofas tend to be slippery). The cottage has a small private terrace overlooking the weir and a secluded private garden by the side of the river further along the access drive, with parking for up to three cars outside the front door. There is a large TV and DVD player, and radio/CD player together with books, CDs and DVDs and good WiFi - even a pair of binoculars for watching the Dippers and Kingfishers. A lovely, comfortable and beautifully appointed cottage in a picturesque riverside setting a few minutes drive from Frome.

Clean, comfortable, well-equipped cottage in fabulous location next to a weir, great for bird-watching - dippers, kingfishers, herons, wagtails.. etc. Close to Somerset/Wiltshire tourist spots - Avebury, Stourhead, Longleat, Bath, Wells, Cheddar, Weston-Super-Mare etc. Friendly helpful owner. Highly recommended.

Fabulous cottage in a beautiful location. Immaculate in all areas not a lot in the immediate vicinity but nothing that a lovely 45 minute walk along a pretty river did not solve. Enjoyed every minute and so close to so many attractions.
