The Old Church House & The Undercroft, Frome
The Old Church House, Church Steps, Frome, BA11 1PL
Located in the very heart of Frome, The Old Church House & The Undercroft offers two distinctive stays within a beautifully converted former church, placing guests directly among the town’s cafés, restaurants and independent shops.
The Old Church House occupies the entire top floor of the property, ensuring privacy while remaining part of a lived-in home. The owners reside below, but guests have their own separate bedroom and bathroom, along with tea and coffee facilities for easy mornings. The space retains the architectural character of the original building while feeling warm and comfortable rather than formal. It’s well suited to couples looking for a central base with personality, where stepping outside means finding one of Frome’s best-known cafés, La Strada, quite literally on the doorstep, alongside a rich mix of eclectic, artisanal stores. The house is also home to two small Jack Russells, adding to its genuine, lived-in atmosphere.
Below sits The Undercroft, a fully self-contained apartment offering greater independence. It features a kitchenette (without a cooker) and a small but delightful patio terrace overlooking St John’s Church and the Via Crucis, creating a rare sense of quiet despite the central location. Thoughtfully arranged, it balances historic structure with modern ease and suits guests who want to be immersed in Frome while retaining their own space.
Together, the two spaces provide flexibility. They can be booked separately or in combination for those travelling together who value proximity without sharing accommodation.
With everything Frome has to offer just beyond the door, this is a stay defined as much by location as by character… rooted, distinctive and unmistakably part of the town itself.
