Pickford House, Bed and Breakfast

PICKFORD HOUSE is owned by Ken and Angela Pritchard and run very much as a family concern. We have lived in the house for 19 years and have tried to maintain the house in keeping with its age and tradition.

The House has been awarded 4 Diamonds by the AA Inspection Team and is currently registered with the local Tourist Office in Frome as well as being highly recommended in Staying Off The Beaten Track and being awarded the Golden Teapot with Bed and Breakfast (GB).

Pickford House is a Regency style house built on top of a hill overlooking the surrounding countryside. Although near to the main road it is very quiet and secluded with a stone walled garden which gives it complete privacy. There is ample parking for guests and also a large garden with flower beds and trees including a very old mulberry tree. In the summer months the swimming pool is in constant use.

Angela is a talented cordon bleu cook and also runs an outside Catering Company, Madeleine's. Ken is a wine enthusiast and has taken several examinations in wine. In recent years both were made Cousins of Savigny les Beaune in Burgundy in recognition of their excellence in food and wine and the links which they have built up between Beaune and Beckington.
Many guests remark on the warm atmosphere to be found at Pickford House. It certainly offers relaxed comfortable surroundings to enjoy the area and unwind from the pressures of everyday life. The Drawing Room has a lovely marble fireplace and the fire is always lit in the cold months. There are newspapers, books, cd player and local information.
