Breakfasts comprised fresh fruits and choice of yoghurts. The cooked breakfast in addition was an excellent menu and served quickly and thus always hot and with good helpings. The evening meals were again from a wide choice menu with some changes during the week. No need to dine out as this was cooking of a high and consistant standard. Staff were very welcoming and a credit to their hands-on proprietors. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel displays much original artwork which is all available for sale; variety of techniques both as to painting and small/medium bronzes. All adds to a welcoming ambience,
Whilst there is lots of outdoor seating either on the lawn or under an extensive marquee (both to the rear) the inside lounge seating area is rather on the small side. If the weather had been wet might have been more of an issue but did not materially affect our stay.

Lovely countryside pub. Great size room with a long mirror, dressing table, hanging space and tea station. Powerful shower in the bathroom with fluffy towels and dressing gowns! Parking is over the road, make sure you're aware of this when arriving in the dark as it's a little confusing. I had dinner in the restaurant the evening I stayed and it was delicious.
The bathroom is a wet room so the floor does get quite wet making it hard to use post-shower. This is a really small detail and it definitely shouldn't put travellers off.

Good breakfast choices, have as much or as little as you wanted, very good evening meals with lots of choice and selection of wines. Real ale at the bar as well. Great location for having a look around the Somerset / Dorset area as we are looking to relocate to the area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would be a great venue for a big celebration.
The only down side might be that the hotel car park was on the other side of the road to the hotel which meant a bit of a walk to the front door and it just happened to rain when we got there! Good sized car park though.

The hotel is about 10 mins from the centre of Sherborne, lovely village location. The welcome we received (Adam) was exceptional! All the team are super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had dinner at the hotel which was wonderful!
If I had one moan it would be about the breakfast, the choice is quite limited and we felt that pastries would have been a nice addition, there was no music on in the background so you did feel you couldnt talk very loudly! It was just a bit disappointing as our dinner experience was so good.

The host and hostess and staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel occupied a good location in the village. The food in the restaurant was excellent, but it was closed on two of our six nights owing to staff shortages.
The room was rather cramped for two.

Lovely country hotel. Comfortable room, good quality bedding and a decent shower. Staff were friendly and obliging, any requests were responded to quickly.
A minor quibble. The television was rather small and too distant for our aging eyes.

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Easy drive to Sherborne, a great place to visit. Comfortable bed. Nice bar area.
We would stay again, but avoiding rooms over the kitchen which has a noisy extractor. There were also some heating and hot water issues but overall we enjoyed our stay.

The breakfast was good, I would not say it was exceptional (which is what was listed in the booking). Yet the evening meal was excellent and I would certainly recommend the place again. With regards to the room, again good, but having seen other accomodations in the area for the same price, a little disappointing, hence my comment of only good.
My room was on the front and quite close to a busy road. So you had to go to bed late if you wanted a reasonable nights sleep. Too early and you would be kept awake by the traffic. Also, lighting outside the premises was poor, on the night of the 9th September, several people made the comment about the lighting outside. It was as if there had been a power cut, so perhaps the hotel could explain that one.

Location was beautiful and breakfast was excellent. The staff were very friendly and the meal that we had the first night was very good.
This stay would have been a 10 had it not been for the bathroom. It was a wet room and whilst very clean, the ventilation wasn't adequate which meant that after use it became a little smelly

The breakfast outshone last nights evening meal. A variety of fruits and cereal attractively laid out to help yourself. The freshly cooked English breakfast arrived quick and was tasty as did the coffee. Very good
We had an evening meal, which was very disappointing.
