Rook Lane House – A Historic Haven in the Heart of Frome

Updated: 13 hours ago


Rook Lane House is an elegant Grade II listed, adults-only boutique bed & breakfast just steps away from Frome’s vibrant town centre


Where History Meets Modern Comfort

Tucked away on Christchurch Street West, Rook Lane House is a charming, adults-only boutique bed and breakfast that blends four centuries of history with contemporary style. This Grade II listed gem dates back to 1604, offering guests a rare chance to stay in one of Frome’s most characterful buildings — complete with original elm floorboards, period detailing, and a fascinating backstory.


Once home to the deposed priest of St John’s Church and 17th-century poet Elizabeth Rowe, the house has been lovingly restored to preserve its heritage while introducing every modern comfort.


Boutique Accommodation

Rook Lane House offers three individually designed en-suite rooms, each with its own personality and flair:

  • An Art Deco–inspired luxury double, bright and stylish with contemporary touches

  • A spacious super-king room featuring historic floors and elegant furnishings

  • A classic double overlooking the garden, perfect for a peaceful night’s sleep

All rooms feature luxury bedding, high-end toiletries, Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs with Sky Sports and BT Sports.


Breakfast, the Fabulous Way

Wake up to a freshly cooked breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients, all prepared to order. Whether you prefer a Full English, a vegetarian or vegan option, or a gluten-free breakfast, everything is crafted with care. Rook Lane House proudly holds a top food hygiene rating of 5 (Very Good) from Mendip District Council.


The Perfect Frome Location

Just a short stroll from Frome town centre, Rook Lane House offers the perfect base for exploring this creative and independent-spirited market town. You’ll find:

  • Unique boutiques, cafés and artisan shops
