Four further bedrooms and three more bathrooms complete the accommodation.

The “Swiss Cottage” on the banks of the River Frome has a wrap-around balcony affording direct views over the river and weir. The two-storey building was built in 1838 and was refurbished by the current owner. It provides a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and a kitchen and living room with access to the balcony on the first floor.
