What a beautiful, charming home from home! Just the kind of place we dream about when we watch "Escape to The Country". Beautifully and tastefully decorated whilst maintaining the character of the property. Beams, flagstone floors, beautiful garden, dedicated parking spots, lovely kitchen, rolltop tub . . . and that and spitting distance from pubs, restaurants and shopping! We were lucky to have some unseasonably warm weather for our autumn stay so we had gin and tonics in the garden. Yay! Oh yeah, and Fox's chocolate bisquits in the kitchen when we arrived. How thoughtful!

Neighborhood info

The historic town of Sherborne is home to numerous magnificent structures, historic inns, and charming shops. It is situated on the lovely banks of the River Yeo and is surrounded by gorgeous, unspoiled countryside. Sherborne is a great spot for a day of touring or a peaceful afternoon stroll. It is probably best known for its lovely abbey and two majestic castles, one of which is relatively "new," only dating back to 1594 and possessing superbly planted grounds. The gorgeous Stourhead mansion and grounds and the magnificent Dorset Heritage Coast are both accessible by short drives, while the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton in Somerset, which features breathtaking displays of historic aircraft—including Concorde—is only across the border. A great place for the whole family.
