The Sherborne Lodge

We thought the breakfast was the best we've ever had in the UK. The towels provided are the biggest we've ever had in the UK. It is the only hotel we've stayed at, that has an electric car charging point. The owner c,early loves dogs as much as people and fed ours with at least one sausage! Room 4 was a bad choice with a dog as there was insufficient floor space for her bed but there was no charge for the dog. The room was too hot upon entry. Neither were the curtains drawn, nor was the window open, but once a couple of buttons were pressed, the window let in enough air for the table top air conditioner to bring the room temperature down. However, at night, we ended up removing the winter duvet from its cover in order to sleep on the very comfy bed! The hotel is centrally located, but the area is so built up, that there was nowhere for the dog to go to the toilet before her sumptuous breakfast, nor before crawling into her rather scrunched up bed!

As per another review on here, I experienced a domestic incident on one of the nights I stayed (shouting, swearing, banging doors). This was quite scary as I was staying on my own. I found the room quite run down and didn't get the chance to have breakfast as they only served from 8.30am. Positives are that the host was very friendly and the towels and bed were new and clean but I'm afraid I won't be staying again.

a very nice stay the room was nice with tea making facilities breakfast was beautifully cooked and run by lovely people. the hotel is situated about a minute walk from town and all the bars and restaurants

Lovely hospitality from Lynne and Laura. Lynee was really personal with my son and wanted to know all about our religion and culture. It was welcoming and friendly. The room had everything we needed. I loved how thorough Lynne was with our requirements for our breakfast. I loved more of how Sherborne Lodge sent me an email asking for our dietry requirements. Catered very well for vegetarians.

Took my family here for an overnight stay and couldn't ask for more. Lynne was a great host and really good with my two girls. Our room was spacious, clean and had an excellent bathroom. Breakfast was fresh and cooked to order, a perfect way to start a day! We will be staying again

Booked for two day stay, not the best kept guest house on the outside and parts of the inside. Room clean and food good, unfortunately the guests they had staying were abusive in their behaviour by being loud and slamming doors. The second night, the three people involved, started at just after 11 pm, shouting obscenities at one another, slamming doors and carrying on throughout the night, until 5.30 am, still arguing and swearing. Not once did the owner do anything, the owner said they were not benefit stayers, but they were more than friendly with them. Would not recommend staying at this mismanaged guest house.
