Town and
city
Situated in the heart of picturesque Frome, it's a lively place
with a vibrant and busy bar (open late) and an extensive cocktail
menu.
Rooms
Ten stylish rooms are tucked away up winding staircases and hidden in the eaves across two floors of this ancient building.
Recently refurbished bedrooms are designed in a palette of deep, rich purples and golds, with dark oak floors, rich velvet curtains, bold floral fabrics or wallcoverings, Florentine bedheads, freestanding zinc roll-top bathtubs and cool iron furniture. The Indulgent rooms a
Two of the best 'Indulgent' bedrooms are adorned with striking archangel murals - one a recreation of The Annunciation by Leonardo da Vinci, another from Fra Angelico's Angel of the Annunciation - while four additional courtyard rooms (smaller Classic rooms) have power showers and offer views over the courtyard, which can be busy with drinkers until late at weekends. For a quieter room, book one of the rooms above the inn.
Note: The town centre location can draw a lively crowd at weekends.
Restaurant & bar
Expect to find deep leather sofas, roaring log fires, exposed stone walls, bold colours, and Renaissance murals in the relaxing lounges, and a stunning, free-floating glass mezzanine dining space known as the Cube.
When the weather is fine, head into the sunny courtyard garden for an alfresco drink or casual meal. For more refined dining, savour well cooked seasonal food in the cool and contemporary dining room replete with a glass mezzanine. The menu features fresh seafood and locally reared meat.
You'll find tip-top local ales and craft beers on tap, including a brew crafted especially for the Archangel by Milk Street Brewery, as well as various ciders from Frome-based Lilley's, and an extensive cocktail menu.
Private dining
Quirky spaces for private parties, family celebrations, business meetings and special events include The Cube, a modern, elegant space for up to 36 guests, while the Breakfast Room seats 20, and the magnificent 'Naval Room' has a long table fashioned from a naval honours board that seats 26. For larger gatherings (80 standing), the Naval Room and adjoining cosy, library can be used, or the library is perfect for smaller meetings and more intimate family gatherings.
