The Space:
Welcome to the Artist’s Studio in Frome, a unique and characterful retreat with plenty of charm. Annexed to the main house and originally built by a local artist as her creative space, this beautiful studio now offers guests a stylish and peaceful escape. With its high ceilings, exposed oak beams, and warm wooden cladding, the space blends rustic character with a serene, cabin-like feel.
Inside, the open-plan studio is bright and airy, featuring a comfortable king-size bed, a sofa/sofa bed for extra flexibility, and a dining area. Sleeping up to 3 guests. The original butler sink, once used by the artist to rinse her brushes, has been preserved as a quirky reminder of the studio’s history. Next door, you’ll find a handy utility room with kitchenette facilities, as well as a modern bathroom with a large walk-in shower.
Large windows look out onto the patio, country garden, and a magnificent old apple tree – believed to be one of the area’s oldest. It’s the perfect spot to relax with a morning coffee or evening drink while soaking in the tranquillity of the setting.
The Artist’s Studio is just a short stroll from Frome’s independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and the famous Catherine Hill boutiques. Guests also benefit from a dedicated parking space, making it convenient for exploring both the town and the wider Somerset countryside.
Blending creativity and comfort, the Artist’s Studio is a memorable retreat for couples, small groups or solo travellers seeking a unique stay in one of Somerset’s most vibrant towns.
