On sunny days, an enclosed furnished garden welcomes you and your loved ones to sit back, relax, and raise a glass of your favourite tipple to toast your getaway. When sleep calls, refresh with a long, hot shower before you finally retire for a well-earned slumber in either a king-size or single bedroom. If you can tear yourself away from your new lodgings, venture out to explore what your local surroundings have to offer. A countryside walk or bike ride can be started right outside your accommodation, whilst the popular pub of The Sun Inn at Charminster, which serves traditional pub grub, is just located just a brief stroll away. Take a walk into Dorchester, which has a terrific combination of shopping venues, eateries, and tourist attractions. The high street is peppered with well-known brands, which are complimented by independent outlets and boutiques. The town boasts more than four museums, including one dedicated to dinosaurs and another to Tutankhamun. The serene Borough Gardens have tennis courts, a play area and a traditional band stand. Other 'must dos' in and around Dorchester include a visit to the Iron Age Maiden Castle and an original Roman Townhouse. Additionally, a trip to visit the many beautiful landmarks and landscapes situated within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty should also be on your itinerary whilst you're in the region. Bring your loved ones for an unforgettable stay at Frome Lodge House.

Without seeing the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums, and variety of pubs and restaurants, a journey to Dorset would not be complete. Visit the County Museum, which contains a display dedicated to Thomas Hardy, who was born only two miles away in Bockhampton, and take a lovely walk around Maiden Castle, the biggest hillfort in England. Weymouth's beautiful beaches and port are only seven miles away, as are Portland's craggy peninsula, which is connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach and is a part of the stunning World Heritage Coastline.
