Stayed at The Bakehouse in Sherborne for the fourth time. I love this place. Owner and staff are very friendly and chatty. The two Labradors make it feel very homelike. Rooms are well kept clean and tidy. Beds comfy. Shower rooms clean and modern. Breakfasts are very filling, made fresh and set you up for the day. All in all... More
