A true find. Could not have been more central to the sites of interest of the town. Very spacious room with a good bathroom with excellent facilities. Welcoming items in the room included freshly ground coffee in a sealed jar and delicious filled and coated brandysnaps. We were invited to join the monthly quiz. Great fun and local teams made us welcome. Good breakfast in the morning with variety on offer with a focus on local produce. Evening meal was very good and also unusual with tapas-style dishes of Italian style cooking. Recommended. We shall return.

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!

Perfect location for walking in and around the town. The hosts were really helpful before, during and after my stay.

    The barn had been tastefully converted and was clean and tidy. All the rooms were spacious and suited our needs. The bathrooms were modern and basins had a soap pump. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of crockery so you could run a full dishwasher. As in the description the kitchen had some basics (salt, pepper, oil, coffee, tea, washing up liquid) and the milk, biscuits, crisps and a bottle of wine were a nice and welcoming touch. The barn was in a quiet location and was close to Sherborne and not far from Yeovil.

    The Manager upgraded our room to a Garden Room for my Husband who has COPD, which was so thoughtful and the room was so lovely. The Breakfast was one of the best I have had in any Hotel, so much choice. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, a credit to the Hotel. Location of the Hotel was brilliant handy for the Abbey and Town. Would definitely recommend this Hotel for anyone going to Sherborne, we hope to come back. Thanks Everyone Best Wishes Eric & Kim xx
