Half Moon Street, Sherborne, DT9 3LN, United Kingdom – Great location - show map

The staff were all very helpful. The price was right for 'no frills' accommodation. Plenty of on-site parking but it would have been useful to know in advance that the parking required up-front cash payment (no notes) or payment by phone, refundable or set against purchases in the hotel. Central location in Sherborne, close to the abbey (although visitors should be aware that the clock strikes during the night) Very good WiFi.

Caroline, United Kingdom

Room was clean and comfortable. The staff very friendly and the pub downstairs was an excellent place to eat and have a beer.

Joseph, USA

Breakfast really good and good value for money comfy beds fresh towels every day tea and coffee facillities and all good freshly made on site.

Jacqueline, United Kingdom

Good location for us and yes, breakfast was good and served quickly.

Geoff, United Kingdom

Very comfy room, I was in the area for a wedding, and it was difficult to find something for a single person at a decent rate. I was very impressed with the room, the decor was lovely, the bed comfy, view was ok from the room, and it was quiet, I did not have any issues with it being above the bar at all. The staff were very friendly, and I really enjoyed my stay. You have your own key, and there are tea and coffee facilities in the room, and free wi-fi. Very reasonable comfortable stay in a beautiful area of the UK.

Alice, United Kingdom

The staff were lovely and the food/drink great

Lynne, United Kingdom

Staff were friendly, chatty and welcoming. We enjoyed the pizza restaurant, and the decor. We liked the open kitchen and food and service was all of good quality and value for money, as was breakfast. View was good from room and bed very comfortable. Nice furnishings, good information provided.Thought had been put into drinks and biscuits provided. Sufficient clothes and storage space was provided, as was a good TV. Ideal for us for a short stay Birthday trip near to visitor attractions, restaurants and shops, all in all enjoyed our stay very much.

Katie, United Kingdom

Room was clean; bed was comfortable but a bit too big for the room. Other room booked was also comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very well cooked and good quality. Delicious pastries!

Caroline, United Kingdom

“Good no frills accommodation in central Sherborne”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Standard Single Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The sausage (part of the classic breakfast) had seen better days. Breakfast coffee not great (although I did have a second cup). The room was pretty basic, but clean and had everything I needed. (Bring your own hairdryer.) I could not get the TV to tune into any channels but didn't need it as I had iPlayer.
눇The staff were all very helpful. The price was right for 'no frills' accommodation. Plenty of on-site parking but it would have been useful to know in advance that the parking required up-front cash payment (no notes) or payment by phone, refundable or set against purchases in the hotel. Central location in Sherborne, close to the abbey (although visitors should be aware that the clock strikes during the night) Very good WiFi.

“Value for money in Sherborne”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Family Room (2 Adults + 1 Child)
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Car parking isn't a problem, but the notices could be a little more explanatory for residents.
눇Central location in town centre: easy to find with on-site parking: reception staff very obliging: food served with a smile, good choice on the menu, well cooked. Room clean and tidy, serviced daily, staff knowledgeable about the area. Would recommend for anyone looking for a room in this very attractive and historical area.

눉My bathroom was very tired and needs refreshing. On both days the breakfast was slow. Parking is available free in the public car park behind, however the notices in the car park imply you need to pay and this can be confusing.
