Hotel Review
Bistro Lotte, Frome, Somerset
Stay at this gorgeous townhouse-bistro at the top of Catherine Street in the pretty market town of Frome and enjoy the cosiest bedrooms with sumptuous beds and fabulous showers. It's a warm and welcoming space where ten bedrooms are set above a lively bistro and bar, serving classic French cuisine from an open kitchen along with low intervention wines and a selection of well thought-through cocktails. Think bare wooden floors and low lighting with original art adorning the walls - it's the kind of inviting space you will want to return to, not just for the delicious food, but for the vibrant and friendly atmosphere. A comfortable base to explore Frome with a French influence at the heart, owner Lotte and her friendly team will ensure you are well looked after from the minute you step inside.

Style & Character
It's a great spot for couples and larger parties of family and friends with its buzzy atmosphere, as well as anyone after a comfortable base to explore Frome. We loved the joyful and warm ambience in the bistro, alive with chatter and the chinking of glasses - a celebration of classic French cuisine!

Rooms
The King Double Room (room 7) is a cosy space with calming blue walls and a stupendously comfy bed with soft pink headboard, looking out across the chimney tops of Frome. What's not to love about simple homely comfort - the kind of blissful space that's designed to curl up and relax in after a day of exploring.
