The Cornerhouse in Mendip

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely food.

Lovely bed and breakfast nice clean spacious room, breakfast superb brilliant full English. Staff friendly and attentive

Lovely and clean, only issue was shower in room didn't work, we were moved to another room but it was up an extra flight of stairs which was difficult for my husband who has mobility issues, no one offered help and no apology, the member of staff didn't even ask if we were OK, I had to re pack and move missing the breakfast.

We've had a lovely stay at the Corner House. Great service and food combined with a comfy bed and a place to retreat after a long day on the road. Price/quality wise is very good, so we would come here again. Just be mindfull you might be woken up by a few cars driving fast, but thats hardly an issue as the hotel is alongside the road. Thanks to the staff for the lovely stay.

When I was house hunting in Frome I stayed 6 or 7 times in the Cornerhouse the staff and the atmosphere was always great. I now live in Frome and enjoy drinking in the bar.

Stayed one night, perfect for short stay. "upgraded" to a double room which was at the top of the building, via a very steep staircase - old pub so not disabled friendly. Rooms adequate but a bit dated - very hot in the summer. Included Breakfast choice was good and friendly service from staff. Car parking behind hotel also.

Didn't stay, went for the music. Was served quickly and the music was brilliant.

Breakfast was amazing staff lovely but the decor needs refreshing

Lovely place. Very clean, great/friendly service. Best breakfast I’ve had at a hotel. Easy parking. Would stay again.

Lovely little place. Rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable

I stayed here a few weeks ago while doing some local training. The room was pretty average; I'd be woken up during the night by people moving around on the floor above or by voices in the bar. I was staying mid-week, so it could have been worse. The second drawback from my POV was that space in the car park is limited, so if people happen to park close, it can make getting back out a pain, especially if there are a few big vehicles in the car park. Even with the room in mind, the stay was still good value for the money. The breakfast was included and superb, making it better for me, given my early start time. The staff were always lovely, and the location can't really be argued with; there are plenty of local places to go to and explore/eat in the evenings. I'd stay there again.

We booked the family room. The room itself was passable and the bed was comfy, although there was so much dust under it. The bathroom however was AWFUL. There was so much mould in the shower tray it smelt. The curtain was far too long and floated about in the shower tray. There was nowhere to put anything. The floor was painted black and the lighting was abysmal. The chairs in the breakfast room were dirty and the tables were dusty underneath. The lighting was, again, very dark. The buffet consisted of cereal, yoghurt and a limited amount of fresh fruit. The cooked breakfasts were good. The view from our breakfast table was an overflowing very large black bin. Can’t praise the lovely staff enough they did everything to please. To the owner I’d say it wouldn’t cost too much to replace a shower tray. Remove rubbish (mop bucket and cleaning sign and an old table) on the landing, improve the lighting. One saving grace was the jazz evening. If you are at a loss as to how to improve your property I suggest you ask the Hotel Inspector to pop along.

They serve continental breakfast or a range of classic british breakfasts. I've had a full english breakfast and was really good and well presented

Another stay at this "good value for money" B&B Great breakfast They allowed my husband to join us for breakfast, even though he didn't stay, for a reasonable price. Thank you. Good location. Rooms hot (really shouldn't mind, better than cold), but they supply a sufficient fan.

Just as described and the location is very convenient if you want to be close to the town center. Breakfast was lovely! Also, the people moaning about the hill need to get themselves into gear. The noise levels were none existent besides a few cars outside. Thank you for having me :)

Good size room with friendly staff and good hearty breakfast to set us on our way after our stay

Positives - size of the room for 3 is good - breakfast is good - walking distance to good restaurants. Negatives - Room was directly above a lively pub and the floor was literally shaking on a Saturday Night. We were relieved when the music finally stopped at 10:30pm. Verdict: Don’t stay on a Saturday if noise is one of your concerns.

Great guest house to stay in Frome, very helpful and friendly staff, location is practically in the town centre.

Pies were excellent . Great atmosphere. We went for the comedy night . Seeing comedians honing their craft, providing really good entertainment made the evening a fab mid-week night out - spoilt only by people in the bar being shouty-mcshouties which I thought was disrespectful and unnecessary. Would definitely go again but hope the staff next time could suggest that noise kept down so performers don’t have to fight for air space

Great location..Very welcoming staff. Great Guinness and imported lagers. Comfy bed..lovely room.

A nice b&b. Friendly and polite.Our room was clean and comfortable beds. Breakfast was OK. Restricted menu for evening meal. On a busy road but at night it was quiet.

Great little place bigger than you think

Was a good nights rest. Sweet and clean. Breakfast was brilliant as were the staff. Only criticism would be decor is a little tired but I would stay there again

The restaurant are nicely laid out. Cozy and well situated not too far from the town centre. Good food and delicious drinks as well. Friendly staff.

Comfortably furnished, perfectly adequate post-work drink and meal option. Quiet at 6pm but got busier. The food = pies from popular brand Pie Minister. Much gravy. Apparently they host jazz jam (group improv, not fruit conserve) sessions and pub quizes, on separate nights of the week.

Stayed here for NYE in Frome. Polite friendly staff. Good sized clean comfortable room. Nicely cooked breakfast. Great location, will definitely stay here again.

Awful place .they don't serve food. Very rude people .The place is nothing like the photos .very dirty dark and miserable

The staff were brilliant, great service, great setting great wine and cocktail but what a shame about the food. Pizza came out white, barely warm and side salad consisted of leaves...thats it!...disappointing to say the least for the price. Won't eat there again. Looks much better than it taists.

Stayed for two nights - clean and comfortable accommodation. Staff amazing! So helpful at all times. Would not hesitate to recommend.

A family room for three adults was perfect, a good bathroom, parking onsite and a really good local breakfast awaited us at a reasonable price. Half a mile from the Cheese & Grain made it the perfect place for us to stay after seeing a gig. The only comments are that the room was very cold and took the provided heater a fair bit of time to warm it up, and the kettle is small for a family room...although we do like our tea. One disappointment was that no food was available when we got there as the chef had been given the night off, but halfway down the hill towards the town centre, tucked away down an alley on the left, is the Old Bath Arms, which is worth a visit!

We stayed here as a family of four. I chose it because it was close to Longleat where we had visited for the day and because the family room included two single beds for the children. We received a warm welcome on arrival. The staff were very chatty with our girls and we were shown to our room. The room was a good size for the 4 of us. Tea and coffee was available but the only tempting thing about it was the Lotus biscuits. The en-suite bathroom was disappointing. It was really quite grubby and in need of a deep clean. A renovation wouldn’t go amiss. The breakfast was excellent! I had the full English and asked for eggs, bacon and sausages to be well done which they were. Best hotel breakfast I’ve had in a while. Overall the place served its purpose as a place to sleep for the night but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Went along to the Frome Jazz club evening (once a month) and had dinner there at the same time. Good variety of well cooked meals including a good variety of vegetarian dishes

We had a lovely meal here to celebrate Mother’s Day with family. The menu was great and the food fantastic and not over priced. There was a lovely atmosphere in the pub. We weren’t rushed at all and the service was spot on. Thank you for a lovely meal. We will be back

Stayed in family room prior to trip to longleat and Center parcs. Really friendly welcome and fabulous breakfast. Tom the manager was the perfect host.

Had dinner here. Very nice. I had a caramelised onion and goats cheese tart with a hefty salad garnish and Darren had breaded camembert also with a hefty salad. These we just the starters! Darren had a spicy breaded chicken and I had homemade fish and chips. So much food we couldn't finish. But very very nice and if you're with the gourmet club you get two meals for thr price of one.

the decor is quite out dated, wobbly chairs. food is really average, i had a veggie burger (not much else for veggies!) and it was okay, not fantastic but defo edible. Parking is a bit of a hassle, cart park is insanely narrow

It was a very enjoyable evening. The food was very good plenty of it even gave more when asked. The staff were very helpful and friendly would go back here again as some times they have entertainment . Well done to the chef who greeted us and made us feel so welcome

We decided on a spur of the moment trip last weekend, and after searching for lodgings in the Bath area, we found The Cornerhouse in nearby Frome was available (and more affordable) The Cornerhouse is a bar / restaurant with guestrooms. Our room was large with two big windows and a well equipped en-suite bathroom, with one of the biggest showers I've seen in a hotel. A good King Sized bed (although a little hard for my taste) provided a good nights sleep, with no noise coming through from the bar or first-floor function room. - Wifi is available throughout the hotel / bar. The breakfasts available were large in portion with the full English including locally sourced sausages and bacon. A special note for the bacon, that was beautifully thick cut, and cooked perfectly.

Nice large room at our request. Breakfast room and housekeeping staff very friendly, but the man from Bosnia at reception was rude, ignored us while he talked on phone (apparently a personal call.) This happened at check in and each day. Charges were not accurate, had to wait for corrections. Appreciated the convenience of parking behind hotel, if you get a spot before all are filled.

Stayed at this pub/restaurant/hotel for 2 nights in August for a short break and found it excellent in every aspect. A big family room that comfortably slept 4 and a good breakfast on both mornings to kick start the day. The owner was friendly and his people attentive and genuinely keen to help.

...Starter; Chicken Goujons...left in the fryer too long...overdone with a slight burnt taste...Main; Burger with chips and a side of onion rings...onion rings same as the goujons...burger was ok...nothing special...a bit bland...about 7.30 a gentleman came in with a small p.a system...asking people if they were there for the quiz or to eat...if people said they were waiting to order he told them that he needed the table for the quiz...he then complained to another gentleman that..."They know the first Monday of the month is quiz night"...and that..."He shouldn't have to set the room up"...he left me alone as I was eating...(apart from laying cables down the side of the table)...but if I hadn't ordered I would have left because of his behaviour...the two pints of cider I had were nice tho...

Queríamos un lugar para hacer una parada para viajar. Elegimos Frome porque tenía un Pub 'The Griffin camra'. El Cornerhouse eligió porque era central. Reservado y tuvimos una rápida sidra y cerveza en el bar antes de salir por la noche. La cerveza en el...

Sin duda, este es mi lugar favorito para comer. Siempre te hacen sentir especial y el servicio es fantástico. Recomiendo encarecidamente la parrillada mixta es verdaderamente increíble 😀

Me alojé un par de noches y realmente disfrutamos. El personal es muy amable. (el desayuno era fabuloso, también!) ..............

We visited Frome, over Easter, and stayed at The Cornerhouse for 5 nights. The staff were very friendly, and helpful . The food was lovely and beautifully cooked , in both the evening and at breakfast. We had a small double room, which was quite adequate for our needs, but our only criticism would be that it was not made clear that this room was directly above the downstairs bar area where there is music most nights and karaoke on a Saturday. The music stops around midnight so not too much of a problem, but if you want to get to sleep early, it can be annoying. We cannot speak for other rooms, which might have been far away from the music, where this was not an issue. This was the only "fly in the ointment", as our stay here was lovely, and so central for a quick walk into town.

Popular local pub. Personally I'm not all that fussed on the choice of ale served here. Some good ciders and bottled beer. Food is 'hit & miss' average at best. If you're looking for good food then pop down the road to the Bath arms

We went to the Cornerhouse with friends in a party of five on Saturday 5 March. The Cornerhouse was busy and so the atmosphere was lively. It has a real pub feel to it, and is very accessible. The 3 staff were busy but completely professional and while we waited for our food, the wait was not excessive, and the food was well worth waiting for. The menu is limited, but that reflects what they do best here; it is a "grill" after all, and the steaks are excellent. I was only sorry that they had run out of their very good Rioja!

Went on a Saturday night after booking a table for 6. When we arrived only 2 staff were on with a full bar and busy restaurant. We waited a while at the bar to be shown to our table and waited over 30mins just to have drinks order taken and longer to receive drinks and not once did any one offer to take our food order. Eventually we asked if we could order and our order was taken. We waited a while but the atmosphere of the restaurant was rowdy and unpleasant (& cold as were next to a drafty window) so we decided to leave, we cancelled our food order and paid for our drinks and left. This place really needs to decide if it is a pub or restaurant as all the customers from the bar were crowding in the restaurant area shouting across the restaurant, leaning on diners chairs, spilling drinks, swearing and being very rude. One man was blocking the door to the bar and when of our party asked him to get by his answer was simply no and he carried on standing in the way. If they want to have a separate dining area with food and table service they should not let drinkers take over the area as it was a really uncomfortable dining experience and I would never go back here. Besides that having only 2 members of staff (they were lovely & trying their best) on on a busy Saturday night meant they could not attend to customers. We were less than impressed especially as it was a family meal, one guest having traveled all the way from Cardiff and myself from London.

Ate here for Sunday Lunch on the spur of the moment with friends. Thought we would have problems finding a place on Valentines day but they had space at the Corner house.Short Sunday Lunch menu (soups, roasts, and a few other dishes). Happy to adjust one dish to make it lactose free and remove another ingredient.The food was tasty and well presented, the beer was well kept. But the service was really a bit slow, although we weren't rushing there were some pauses between the courses.

Lovely hotel, spacious room with comfy bed.Dinner at restaurant was amazing.Liked it so much we stayed another night, they generously gave us a discount as well.

I went here midweek with a group of friends for an evening meal. Everyone one was happy with their food. I had a vegetarian burger which was lovely, others in the group had fish and chicken. The portions were generous and the prices fair. Service was good.

Have just had the most wonderful Sunday lunch at the corner house. Fantastic meat, perfectly cooked veg, all lovely and hot. Followed by a really lovely ginger sponge for dessert, I don't understand why it wasn't busier. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, great service, could not do enough for my fussy vegetarian mother, car park at the rear with easy access to the restaurant itself, really pleasant staff, we would definitely go back again, well done

A great Sunday Lunch most probably the best in Frome would not eat one anywhere else,Not expensive and very clean and tidy

The Cornerhouse is a local pub which we have eaten in several times. The food was always good but we haven't eaten there for some time. However, we heard that they had a new Chef and thought we would give it another try. I can say that we were very pleased that we did. We had Sunday lunch there with my sister and brother in law. The starter was excellant and the roast dinner was as good as we have had anywhere in Frome and beyond. Presented beautifully, there was plenty to eat for us all, and of a high quality. If you are fed up with the usual food outlets and haven't been to the Cornerhouse lately, give it a try, you wont be disappointed.

One of the nicest burgers I've had in a long time, which is good because it made up for the long wait at the bar while the staff chatted among themselves. They were friendly when we eventually got served, though. I do love the interior of this pub, which is light and airy, and gets plenty of afternoon and evening sunshine... Weather permitting!

Been here a few times recently, Food is great pub food well cooked and generous portions. Sometimes are missing a few items from the menu but at least you know its fresh. Had mixed grill on last visit and was cooked brilliantly.Service is always friendly and the pub has a great atmosphere,Defiantly recommend for lunch or causal dinner

Nice pub/restaurant a short walk from the center of Frome.We had A mixed grill and the rump steak , as well as trying three different beers and ciders. The portions were very generous and great value.The steak was cooked to perfection, and the ice cream we had after was gorgeous.The drinks went down very well too!The staff were very friendly and helpful also.

A very friendly and lovely place to eat lunch. I had the flat iron steak, very juicy, very meaty very tastey. Service was great, warm and humours :) very comfy seating area. And a very nicely priced pint of orange and lemonade :) Incredibly happy to eat there again! And I will do!

Nice pub for drinks.Went to eat when the new Grill Menu came out.Had the fish and chips, was really nice.My boyfriend had the Mixed grill and I tried a coupld all were really good.Service was very friendly would definitely recommend!

You can't go wrong with a good steak, salad and chunky chips at the Cornerhouse. We were staying in the hotel but were going to arrive late however the manager kindly sent us the menu and we ordered whilst driving so we did't miss the kitchen closing... in fact the kitchen stayed open a little later to accommodate us.

Hit the bullseye for a pretty hungry and thirsty group of 6 guys. 6 different beers - all excellent. 6 different meals - burgers, steaks, ribs .... all recommended. Fast pleasant service. A particular favourite was the 'large' mouth watering hot wings. Main street but has own parking. Worth travelling for ....

We had never heard of a "flat iron" steak.... and nor had the waiter when we asked him! It turns out that it has something to do with the way it is cooked, but whatever, they were very tasty and nicely presented.We also took advantage of the 'steak and a drink (a pint in our case) for £9.95' deal. So with very friendly and efficient service, we would highly recommend it.

Came here on Tuesday night for a works meal what can I say amazing! We sat and had several drinks before our meal. Lovely atmosphere. Only problem was a smell !? When it came to the meal I had white bait and my partner had garlic mushroom for our starters, both new foods for us and we both really enjoyed them, and get so much for your money! For the main I had rack of ribs and partner had the mixed grill, again absolutely amazing, the best ribs I have every had! Partner also said everything was cooked so well! For dessert we both had sticky toffee pudding and that was to die for! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and what a great atmosphere. Will defiantly be returning soon and will be recommending!Thank you

Booked a table for 7pm on phone - what the establishment omitted to tell us was that they had karaoke on - as we sat waiting for our food - a couple arrived and started moving tables and chairs around us and set up karaoke next to our table - so close I could have sung from my chair - no real apology from the management nor any acceptance that we should have been told when booking - we'll never visit again

Had three steaks and one burger, cant fault the food presentation and quality excellent, Staff all very friendly and helpful and lovey lt didn't break the bank, would highly recommend, Thanks we all had a good evening,

We met together for drinks before dinner. Food served in an area at the end of the bar. Was somewhat noisy but the food was good and good value. We would go back.

We had a great meal here recently. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming (if a bit noisy) with friendly and efficient service. It's a little pricey but the food was consistently excellent - the scallop starter was paticularly good.

Great menu selection, great tasting food (although on the small side) and lovely service from the staff. The only thing was that the prices of the mains were a little too expensive but apart from that was a very charming night. Ps the Sticky Toffee Pudding was AMAZING!!

Went for a meal here, before going to a local theatre. Pub bar area was very busy, not so in the restaurant, as the bar was busy a group of people from the pub area came and sat in the restaurant talking very loudly, not having a meal, this should be restricted or put some sort of doors across, lighting in the restaurant is very POOR. Waitress were very friendly and efficient.Food was tasty.

Sorry, but if you can't produce decent fish and chips, you need to go back to chef school. Three out of five of us chose this and the batter was soggy and pale yellow instead of crispy and golden brown. Needed longer in the frier or hotter fat. Generally felt the menu a bit limited. Nice enough place and friendly staff - don't want to knock them, but come on guys. You can do better.

We had brunch, together with a jazz session as part of the Frome Festival, and we were all impressed with the quality of the food. The scrambled eggs I am told were delicious, I just had the bacon on toast which was just right in texture with a marvelous taste. Plenty of good coffee and tea with the option of a plate of pastries. So glad we had some, they were absolutely delicious as was accompanying marmalade & jam. Shall be back to try other dining options.

We popped in here on Sunday for lunch. I follow them on facebook and often see their Sunday lunch offerings popping up! We decided to drop in and both had 3 courses. The service was very friendly and quick. We got drinks straight away and went into the restaurant area which was nice and quiet. It was about 1pm and there were a few tables with others on there but lunch is served until 3pm so you can make your way leisurely. As it is such a bargain to have 3 courses for £14 we decided on this. I had the goats cheese starter which is beautifully presented and very tasty. We both then had roast pork belly, served with vegetables, a Yorkshire pudding a few roast potatoes. The spuds were lovely and I would have liked a few more! I do like crackling and the fat on the pork was just rubbery but that's fine as it wasn't listed as crackling, it's just what I would have liked! We then both had chocolate brownie afterwards which was fresh and warm served with chocolate ice cream. We then had coffee and tea. The whole experience was flawless, the place is nice and it's the first time I've eaten in here for a few years. It's a nice pub, with quality and well presented food. The portions are the right size if you're having 3 courses, I would come back!

My wife and myself were on a days jolly to Stourhead gardens and aimed to eat in their restaurant, but rain and a power cut and no hot food put us off. we did not want to travel on a major road so just took the B road and ambled into Frome with no plan in mind as to where to eat. Having done a circuit of the town we just chose the Cornerhouse because we could park nearby. So very glad we did.We were greeted with a lovely smile from the lady behind the bar (I assume French by her accent), someone else quickly found us a nice table also with a lovely manner and smile. Great food soon arrived hot, nicely presented and the portions generous. The goats cheese was delicious to start as were the falafel and tzatziki dip. Main courses. The lamb was tender and cooked with a little garlic, perfect. My wife had the beef which was also very good. I often find that the gravy served with Sunday lunches is very poor and lets the meal down badly, but not in the Cornerhouse. The gravy was the best treat and perfectly complimented the roast meat..A word about the vegetables. roasted carrot that tasted of sweet carrot, cabbage not too mushy.The roasted spuds were ok but could have been crisper but hey at this time of year its too early for decent spuds to roast. New potato option?And the pudding. Oh the pudding. We had a sticky toffee job which was definitely homemade. you could taste the dates and orange zest and also lots of sauce. I met the chef and nearly thought of proposing marriage the pudding was so good.Now the icing on the cake for me. Three things which you very seldom find altogether.Coffee which was piping hot and even more surprising tasted like coffee should taste.\A clean laundered serviette (not a grotty paper job), and last of all the attitude of the staff.Lots of spontaneous smiles very friendly and you made us feel valued and special.Thankyou all so much

Consistently good food and service, warm and welcoming, and a nice pub too. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Returned for an evening meal this time. The Cornerhouse was advertising a new menu from which we had starters of potted pork and oxtail with brioche, the mains were sea bass and osso bucco followed by vanilla creme brulee and coffee chocolate possett. It's a long time since we've been to a restaurant where both parties found all three courses faultless, well, this time not only were they faultless, they were all perfect! The menu was imaginative, the flavours delicious and service friendly and efficient.

Had a delicious Sunday lunch here a few months ago and have been meaning to go back. Excellent value for the quality of the food and a nice relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff.

I have waited to review this restaurant as I like to give local places a couple of visits before I recommend them, as I believe constancy is key.Our latest meal was a Sunday lunch and it was simply outstanding, perfect beef, great roasties, yorkshires etc etc etc.The hostess works tireless to ensure top level service and always makes you feel welcome.We have eaten other meals here and they have all been very good and they have a great selection of wines, my partner and I think they are underpricing the food as it is ridiculously good value!
