Fosse Farmhouse

Isn't it great when you find somewhere like this out of the blue. It proves it's worth going that extra mile off the beaten track. If you're looking for good food, a friendly welcome, quiet surroundings and great if eccentric interior design - then this is the place for you

I have just spent a wonderful few days at Fosse Farmhouse, a comfortable, stylish country house hotel which exudes charm and friendliness - a perfect home from home. Caron Cooper is full of life, has a wealth of local knowledge, and always had time for a chat.

As a regular visitor to Fosse Farmhouse for the last eighteen years, all I can say to a prospective visitor is to take notice of the excellent reviews and totally ignore the three terrible ones, which were written by one impossibly fussy group on one weekend, the sort of people who, for those familiar with Swallows and Amazons would immediately remind one of the Great Aunt, pointing out the daisies on the lawn, and finding fault with everything they possibly can. Trump Towers would possibly count as a slum to such people. The Japanese Royal... more

We stayed at Fosse Farm recently for a long week-end as we have freinds leaving in Bath, they recommended the place and we were not disappointed. The surroundings are lovely, the decoration gorgeous (the owner is extremely gifted and does everything herself). She is an easy going chearful person and we had lovely chats with her, she speaks french too which was great for my husband. We had the most marvelous english breakfast ever, lovely home made scones and jam with clotted cream, the works !! And a lovely dinner which Miss cooper... more

We recently stayed at Fossefarm house, We had a fantastic weekend, and many enjoyable conversation with the owner & chef, Caron. We will be returning in a few months for the bath international music festival, and thoroughly look forward to it ( and her sublime home cooking). I would happily recommend Fosse farmhouse to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Our stay at Fosse Farmhouse must have overlapped with the other guests who were motivated by that dire experience to write a review. It was such a relief to hear that others' have recently had a 'Fosse Farmhouse/Fawlty Towers' experience. However, unlike the guests who wrote the previous review, we found the facilities in the room (with one exception explained below) to be acceptable (though still expensive for what we received). It was, however, the extremely rude behaviour of the proprietor which will ensure we never return to Fosse... more

If you want a surreal stay on a par with fawlty towers this is the place for you. Having started off with some miscommunication due to her getting our credit card number wrong, she decided that we were persona non grata and treated us with considered rudeness. remarks included if "I knew what you were doing then we could provide a better service", so when we tried to tell her she told us she "didn;t want to know"!. So in short - if you want to go to stay in a rather over priced B&B which provides FawltyTowers like dramatics and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Fosse Farmhouse for one night. We booked last minute and were "lucky" enough to get the last room for the bargain rate of £75. We arrived around 6.30 in the evening. The owner was too busy to help us settle in propperly as she was about to serve dinner to the remaining guests (not an option for us as we had not given sufficient notice). We were given short shrift and told she was extremely busy on the two occasions that we asked for information about where to eat and the surrounding area. The room was... more
