Archangel, Somerset

Grade II listed dog-friendly inn Archangel is a cosy bolthole located in the picturesque market town of Frome, Somerset. Mentioned in the Domesday book, for more than 900 years the inn has occupied the cobbled high street, but now its quirky and distinctive rooms have been given a contemporary twist with plush furnishings, cool iron furniture and freestanding roll-top bathtubs. Much more than a restaurant, the Archangel has a happening bar and multiple spaces for entertaining such as the Library and the famous Cube dining area. Wall space is lent to local artists, and in the summer the French windows open into our lovely courtyard where you can dine al-fresco while listening to live music. Close to the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are plenty of opportunities for walking with your trusty hound. For culture vultures, the very best of Frome’s art and heritage is on the doorstep, and for those keen to get out into Somerset’s stunning countryside there are plenty of attractions to see, including the dramatic cliffs and caves of Cheddar Gorge, the beauty of the Mendip Hills, and the exotic big cats of Longleat Safari and Adventure Park.
