Sarah
Wonderful stay with our daughter and family at Wriggle View, large spacious accommodation, really good sized rooms. Cottage had everything we needed, the welcome pack was a real bonus, milk, orange juice, tea and coffee and the lovely lemon drizzle cake went down a treat. The kids loved it and we all wished we could've stayed longer.

Lovely Barn conversion. 4 good bedrooms, 2 ensuite the other 2 share an enormous bathroom. Upstairs and extremely well appointed kitchen and lounge with stunning views over the countryside and sheep fields. The host Jeanette was very welcoming, explaining the house and giving us 1 of her home made cakes, tasty 😋. The whole experience was very peaceful and relaxing with just a 10 minute drive to the quaint town of Sherborne.
