    It wasn't any soap dispenser for the shower or the sink.

    Great location. The Abbey was not far from the Inn. Lots of pubs and restaurants around, charming litte village.

    Evening staff were excellent. Only two of them as someone had gone sick but they worked extremely hard to ensure we were well looked after. Moring likewise excellent service and both meals were great.

    Traditional pub hotel in an historic town very centrally located
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    It's a little shabby, though the rooms themselves seem to have been recently renovated and are OK. The shower is over the bath (but works fine). If you have a room at the front of the building you will get noise from the street and the drinkers below - though that's quiet by about 11.30pm. However, the abbey bells peal the time all night - very quaint, but means the windows have to be closed unless you are a very deep sleeper!

    It's a very centrally located hotel, part of a pub chain with bar food. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are helpful and welcoming. Plenty of parking at the rear.

    Poor WiFi and quite noisy until 11-30 - the outside tables were directly under our bedroom window.

    It is a typical pub/hotel with an excellent location directly across the road from Sherborne Abbey. Plenty of parking round the back.

    • Stayed 1 night

    Decor needs an update, minimal tea and coffee options in the room. No aircon so had to have the windows open and the church bells chime loudly all through the night.

    Perfect location for my needs, very central, could walk to everything. Room was very nice and big. Comfortable bed, lots of hot water. Parking was great, staff friendly and efficient.

    Abbey is very close, and the bells toll on the quarter hour all through the night, but this would apply to all the places to stay in this area. Men's toilet from dining area has no lock and needs a loo roll holder!

    Good food and central location with free parking, (You park and then register vehicle at reception to avoid paying for parking)

    Could not open window due to handle being broken and was fairly hot (there was a small fan in the room) room was basic but ok we found the room a bit small for 2 people but it was only for 1 night so got on with it, the main issue was the flys around the eating area you were constantly brushing them away not ideal when trying to eat but no complaints about the food or service.

    Location excellent staff friendly and helpful big screen and tvs with sky sports fair choice of drinks

    I thought it wasnt great to have the staff hoovering at the same time as we were having breakfast at about 9.30 Am on Saturday- it was really noisy. The sound proofing in the room could have been better and the fittings a bit newer ( but all in full working order and clean)
