Good for a quick one night stay.

The location if staying in Sherborne couldn't be much better. The rooms are pretty basic but they are clean and functional so if your expectations are high in this respect then maybe look elsewhere. Staff all seemed pretty friendly & the bar & drinks were okay - didn't eat there so can't comment.

Could do with grab rail by the bath and a mat for the bath as slippery when wet. Staircase handrails very sticky and need a good clean.

Good location in centre of Sherborne. Very reasonably priced room and the staff are friendly and helpful. The pub has a car park and is also just 5/10 minutes walk from station. The delightful Sherborne abbey is just a very short walk from the inn and there are numerous restaurants nearby. The room was very comfortable although there was occasional noise from the bar downstairs or outside tables. The Abbey is close by and the clock chimes might bother some. The food onsite is good whether you require breakfast or a meal. The room was well equipped and it suited me as a solo traveller very well.

Clean, with all basic amenities. Good parking which is very handy for looking around the town, and free for guests. Wi-fi worked ok. Shower a bit weak but adequate. Huge bed, which was nice but made it a squeeze to get into room. Staff friendly. Pub has pool, big screen TVs, cheap food - very busy in evening, which won’t suit everyone but not a problem for us.
