    A Superking bed and good reading lights would have been appreciated.

    Quiet position in centre of Sherborne. Very good restaurants nearby as well as the very beautiful Abbey. Good private parking

    There wasn't anything about the flat we didn't like.

    It was beautifully decorated, had everything we needed. Its the little touches, fresh milk, snacks, luxury hand soap etc, smelt lovely, clean. Fixtures were to a high standard, plenty of wardrobe space. Even had a hair dryer.

    We had an absolutely delightful stay at the old bakery. Right from the start, Mo's housekeeping fairy extended a warm welcome that set the tone for our visit. The studio apartment exceeded our expectations, providing us with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. During a cold weekend, the studio apartment was a cozy haven, offering a perfect retreat from the weather. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The attention to detail was evident in the softness of the towels and the thoughtful provision of milk in the fridge—small touches that made a significant difference. The location was ideal, just a quick 2-minute stroll to the bustling town centre. Onsite parking was a definite convenience. To top it all off, the addition of chocolates and cookies was a delightful touch Our friends stayed at the cross keys the owners other accommodation and loved . Sherborne is a great place for a weekend

    Everything. I work away a lot a need a home from home. The Bakery offers this and way more. I have now booked up for the next month, when I am in town. The host was exceptional and they even left treats for the stay with all the "little" things you need to save you going out. Its a smashing place and done to a very high standard. Well done

    The only thing to comment is the kitchen fan did some loud noises occasionally without being turned on.

    It was great, right smack in the middle of the beautiful little town. The host was extremely nice and accommodating. We’d originally rented a different place but didn’t find it fit for purpose so this was last minute thing, but found it extremely clean, very freshly furnished, bed was very comfortable, all in all a great space. Host had left a nice welcoming selection of fruit milk, and other niceties. I go around a lot and this was hands down one of the better places. Even proper dense and big bath towels which usually isn’t a thing to expect even in the higher price classes.

    Church bells toll every hour round the clock, even at night so you have to keep your windows closed

    The cleanest place I've been to so far, I'd give 11/10, Good WiFi, All the facilities you need apart from the washing machine, Pub a few steps away, open till late, good food, Private parking spot, Will book again if I'm in Sherborne again.

    We have allergies so the scented reed sticks were problematic (we ended up putting them in a cupboard but the scent was still quite powerful). Feather bedding may also be problematic for some but hopefully there are alternatives available on request.

    Excellent location, very clean and comfortable with a generous welcome pack of groceries and toiletries. Great for two people.

    Had to be careful not to bump head on the low beams. Because we were there nearly two weeks a washing machine would be good for our personal items, however bed and bathroom linen were changed twice a week

    The put up bed wasn’t the comfiest ( you could feel all the springs) although this didn’t impact our stay as it was for our young daughter ..

    All the extra touches, such as fresh milk in the fridge on arrival. The apartment was brilliantly located and parking was a bonus.
