    The breakfast room was chilly.

    Breakfast was good. The gluten free granola was delicious. Our hotel room was very nicely furnished, warm and luxurious. We particularly enjoyed playing pool in the evenings and when we came back to the hotel from various trips out. There were no other guests around and it felt as though the pool table was our own!

    I would have liked fresh apple and orange juice at breakfast.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful especially when recommending a restaurant that would do a take away as one of our party was unwell. There were nice touches in the bedrooms. Some sloe gin and a hot water bottle. I thought the breakfast was very good.

    Even though the staff are really kind and helpful, all services end at 9pm, and hence the hotel it is effectively an expensive B&B! We needed some milk for a cup of tea after we returned to the hotel after dinner, which was obviously not available until the following morning.

    Our room was very comfortable. We were tucked away on the second floor, so it was very quiet and private. All the hotel staff staff ‘clock-off’ at 9pm and the guests are left alone with a phone number and the run of the hotel, which was a little odd but also quite good fun!!

    The bed was a bit small, we had one of the suites ( I can't recall the room name), the room extremely at night extremely warm, even with the fan provided and porch door open. Rather surprised that they don't have a restaurant except for breakfast, yes they did write us prior notifying us and gave suggestions but for £300 per night it would have been nice. We would definitely stay here again even with these little problems but during cooler seasons.

    Staff are fantastic, the hotel grounds stunning , rooms clean and decorated beautifully, sheets very comfortable and in a great location. They don't advertise it but they do have a slow charging stn for your EV for a small charge, which was very handy.

    Nothing we had everything we could wish for.

    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

    Disappointingly the restaurant was closed for dinner the night we were there but the staff gave us recommendations for local restaurants so no problem.

    The rooms and the garden were beautiful. Excellent breakfast. Book of local walks in our room plus a complimentary carafe of Sloe Gin. Easy walk straight in to the Abbey.

    I’m not sure I would call this a 5 star property. It’s lovely but more like an upscale countryside inn with the basic amenities, though we did not try the spa and the cabins on the property look lovely also. The breakfast is pretty basic and there is no staff at the desk post 9pm. I would certainly stay again regardless.

    Family room is excellent - very spacious and well appointed. Clean. Modern bathrooms. Staff was very helpful and allowed us to check out an hour late. Great location a few minutes walk from town. We left two items and the hotel mailed them back to us after alerting us via email. Wonderful service!
