Selwood Cottage; A rural retreat on the outskirts of Frome, near Longleat Safari Park and Bath!

Situated 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 group of charming self-catering accommodation including 4 pretty, two bedroom, traditional style cottages.

This beautiful end of terrace 2-Bedroom property is the first cottage you'll find as you enter onto our site. As you enter through the front door you are invited into a warm and welcoming cottage. It has a modern, well-equipped kitchen stocked with plenty of crockery, pots, pans and utensils. The solid wood dining furniture seats 4 comfortably with space for any extra highchairs. Quality continues into the sitting area with a 2 and 3-seater sofa, alongside a SMART TV, DVD player and electric fire. There is also a convenient downstairs W/C. Upstairs you will find comfortable Double and Twin bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower over the bath. Underfloor heating throughout adds that extra touch of luxury all year round!

We pride ourselves on being child-friendly and are keenly aware of just the type of equipment that helps make your life easier and like a home-from-home. Wooden cots with good mattresses are available for babies up-to 18months (travel cots for the older babies), along with high chairs, changing mats and sterilisers. We have plenty of each item so do let us know before you set off your exact requirements. A selection of outdoor ride-on toys are available and guests are free to roam the grounds and say ‘hello’ to our chickens.

Less than three miles away is the vibrant town of Frome. With its historic buildings and beautiful independent shops, alongside a thriving contemporary arts scene, it has been highlighted as one of the ‘Best Places to Live in Britain’ by The Times. Frome is also the original Somerset Market Town, and this tradition continues today with regular weekly markets and, on the first Sunday of each month during the summer, ‘The Frome Independent’ - a mini festival bringing together the best artisan food and drink, artists and designers, local produce, plants, home wares and street entertainment.
A ten minute drive takes you to the famous Longleat House and Safari Park for which the owners of By The Byre are able to offer their guests a 20% discount on a one day ticket. The splendid Georgian City of Bath with its museums, street cafes, boutiques and Roman baths is 12 miles away, and within easy reach by car are a number of visitor attractions such as Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge and Stonehenge, and historic towns including Bradford on Avon, Glastonbury and Wells.
