What an amazing place to stay. It's a working sheep farm and the owners were so friendly and always made time for a chat. We saw sheep being rounded up and then being sheared. Wow, made my week. The place had everything you needed and we absolutely loved staying there. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent stay here, made even better with the timing of lambing season and being able to see so many babies. The house was so well suited to us, with plenty of bedrooms and toilets. I liked the upside down style to make the most of the views, though the stairgate came in handy. We appreciated having a cot and highchair provided as well so we didn't have to bring much from home. We had some excellent fish and chips from the Abbey fryer in Sherborne and enjoyed the old castle, carvery at the Rose and Crown and a trip into Yeovil. We would definitely come back and stay again
