I stayed with the family for six weeks last year and I had such a great time with them. They always made sure that I had everything I needed. I had so much fun spending time with their two boys. Whether it was going for a walk, teaching Atlas how to ride a bike, or playing in the garden, I enjoyed forming a bond with the boys. Frome is a cute town… read more with a lot of bookshops and they had a market when I was there. I am glad that I got to spend time with you guys and hope our paths cross in the future!

I had the pleasure of staying with Becks, Tom, Atlas, and Scout for about two weeks while I was in the process of relocating to Somerset. Looking back, I find myself wishing I had extended my stay because Becks and Tom made me feel incredibly at home, and their family dynamic is great. My time there was filled with building Lego with Atlas and… read more Scout, playing all sorts of games, and sharing stories. Atlas and Scout are friendly, curious and happy kids, who are surrounded by so much love, culture, and awareness. Now that I've settled in Frome myself, I always feel glad whenever I run into Tom, Becks, or the kids. I would without a doubt give them a 10/10 recommendation to anyone looking to explore Somerset or simply experience the warmth of a welcoming family.
