Actually referred to as a shed when you arrive. The latter description is more accurate. Rooms smaller than photos suggest. Smell of cow patties. Views of concrete walls or broken down farm equipment. Heat an oppressive 26.3 degrees all night. Beds hard and low. Towels small and crunchy. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c6c7ae7-142c-40e2-b5be-acc549427e30-1751213807963.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15e7bfd0-c227-459e-a63c-d760f9cffb2c-1751277713897.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ward B. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayne B. 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What a wonderful place!On reading the last review that was posted not long before we were about to stay at the Old Milking Parlour, I was a tad apprehensive as to what we might find but there was absolutely no need to be .This is a lovely property that is exactly as described. The photos are a true representation and it was an absolute delight to stay here.The owners have done a fabulous job of renovating the Milking Parlour with lovely high quality and tasteful fixtures and fittings.Please, please, please if you are thinking of staying here, ignore the review dated 30th June 2025. I felt devastated on behalf of the owners as it bore no relation to the premises whatsoever. There was a vase of flowers on the table along with half a dozen lovely fresh farm eggs. There was a lovely cosy, welcoming vibe and it was spotless. The sheets were crisp and white and the towels fluffy and plentiful. The beds were lovey and firm and both the showers were really good. The access instructions were clear and easy to follow. The farm itself was spotless and despite us expecting there to be the usual countryside smells, there weren't any at all.It's in a great location just a couple of miles outside Frome. I wholeheartedly recommend The Old Milking Parlour and would definitely stay here again. We absolutely loved it. ##### Jayne B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry K.

Very helpful. Property was nice and quiet which allowed us to have a relaxed holiday. Pub just a 30 second walk away that offered great food. Shared zone was pretty call although the weather didnt allow us to use it as much as we could have done. Would happily stay there again. ##### Nicholas G.
