Monmouth Cottage - A peaceful, rural cottage retreat on the outskirts of Frome, near Longleat Safari

Set in open countryside on the edge of the historic stone village of Beckington, close to Longleat House & Safari Park and the splendid city of Bath, By The Byre Holidays is a collection of charming self-catering accommodation comprising four pretty, traditional-style two-bedroom cottages.

This beautiful end-of-terrace two-bedroom property is the last cottage you’ll find as you enter the site. Step through the front door into a warm and welcoming space, thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation.
The cottage features a modern, well-equipped kitchen stocked with plenty of crockery, pots, pans, and utensils. A solid wood dining table comfortably seats four, with space for highchairs if required. The sitting area offers a 2-seater and 3-seater sofa, along with a SMART TV and electric fire. There is also a convenient downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs, you’ll find a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, along with a family bathroom with shower over bath. Underfloor heating throughout adds an extra touch of comfort all year round.

We pride ourselves on being family-friendly and understand the importance of thoughtful extras that make your stay feel like a home from home. Wooden cots with proper mattresses are available for babies up to 18 months, along with travel cots for older babies, highchairs and stair-gates. We have a good selection of equipment, so please let us know your requirements in advance.
Guests are welcome to explore the grounds, where children can enjoy outdoor ride-on toys and say hello to our chickens.

Less than three miles away is the vibrant town of Frome, known for its historic architecture, independent shops, and thriving arts scene. Named one of The Times’ “Best Places to Live in Britain,” Frome remains a traditional Somerset market town, hosting regular weekly markets and The Frome Independent—a popular monthly summer festival of artisan food, drink, art, design, and street entertainment.
A ten-minute drive takes you to the world-famous Longleat House and Safari Park, where guests of By The Byre can enjoy a 20% discount on one-day tickets. The elegant Georgian city of Bath, with its Roman Baths, museums, cafés, and boutiques, is just 12 miles away. Also within easy reach are Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge, and Stonehenge, along with the historic towns of Bradford-on-Avon, Glastonbury, and Wells.

Expected better

Unfortunately we cannot recommend staying by the byre. There was hair in the bedroom, the floor cracks very loud by every step, beds are very uncomfy (very very soft mattress) with the cheapest linen, only one pan in the kitchen and it was broken and you can hear everthing your neighbours do through the walls. I became very ill on day2 and due to the lack of comfort we decided to cancel immediately. We booked for nearly 3 weeks, but the owner wasn't so friendly to return us at least a bit of the money. Good: the floor heating works very good, a lot of information about the region provided, grounds are well maintained

Beautiful and child friendly

Really gorgeous setting on a farm with a safe and fun child play area. Cottage was very child friendly with stair gates and a cot and high chair so was relaxing as soon as we arrived. Great communication from hosts. Location was perfect, 25 mins to Bath to see the sites but near plenty of other things to see and do as well. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 (I would give 4.8 if I could!) was the walls were very thin between our rooms so our daughter was easily woken and we could hear the property next to us as well (and I’m sure they weren’t impressed by our daughter’s 5am waking either!). So would 100% recommend unless you are someone who would be very bothered by that.
