The Priory is a complete haven, where you feel you’ve stepped back in time as soon as you drive through the gates. It’s a place to go to stop, breathe and unwind, in a world where we are all programmed to never stop. The unbelievably pretty house is set in stunning gardens, alongside the River Frome, where we watched herons fish, deer graze and boats slip silently by. The rooms are all so beautifully appointed and comfortable. We had a delicious scone and jam with tea, upon arrival, followed by a little potter up the river and around the gardens. After relaxing in our beautiful waterside bedroom we got dressed up for cocktails and canapés by the fire, followed by the most delicious, seasonal dinner in the very elegant dining room. After a great night’s sleep in a seriously comfortable bed, we were offered complimentary yoga and a hearty but healthy breakfast. 24 hours later, we left fully recharged and feeling so relaxed. A huge thank you to the amazing staff, who were impeccably trained and who really understand hospitality with a capital H!
