Top Places and Services in Sherborne, Dorset

Everyone in our party loved their stay at the Old Post Office Cottage, despite deplorable weather outside! If you like a soak in an outdoor hot tub during rain (we did), this is the place for you! Every part of the cottage reflects its rural English heritage; it’s old, but refurbished to a high standard that retains real atmosphere. All bedrooms are large and comfortable (two with very well designed en-suits), and there’s a feature bathroom with a classy and highly unusual roll-edged free-standing copper bath. The kitchen is large well equipped, with a spacious dining area adjoining that looks out onto the garden. A big well-furnished lounge complete with log-burner is, like the rest of the cottage, filled with well chosen (some would say ‘up-market’) interior design detailing. We highly recommend the Old Post Office Cottage to others, and would certainly go back - hopefully to enjoy more sun next time!

We were two couples and a dog staying for a week at the beginning of June 2024. The Old Post Office was immaculate; a wonderful place to stay for the week and the property has been exceedingly well thought out for the convenience of a short stay. Loads of thoughtful touches around the house which were really impressive.
Also, it's obvious that the owners are dog owners and loads of small dog friendly touches as well. We had a minor niggle early in the stay, but I must say that the owners, Kerry and Emma, were responsive, attentive and resolved the issue promptly.
It's clear to us that Kerry and Emma are rightly proud of their property and the experience they provide, and serious about making sure their guests have a wonderful time. We did have a wonderful time and can highly recommend.
Thank you to Kerry and Emma!

We had a wonderful weeks stay here this past week. The cottage has everything you could wish for, plus other welcome touches such as a generous hamper of goodies, as well as treats and towels for the dogs. The garden is very secure and secluded, and the hot tub and garden furniture is lovely too. We walked across the fields to the Hunters moon, great pub. It’s only a 10 minute drive to Sherborne which is very picturesque with a good array of shops and places to eat and drink. We really hope to come back as it really was a treat to get to stay in such a beautiful home.

We had a lovely week at the Old Post Office which is well located for exploring Sherborne and the surrounding countryside and not too far from the south coast. It’s a very quiet location, but easy to get to. Several good pubs close by for eating out.
The house has been beautifully renovated and looks very smart - a really nice amalgamation of old feel and modern facilities. The welcome hamper was a really nice touch and full of delicious foods.
All the numerous thoughtful touches - from excellent kitchen equipment, to hot-tub towels, and the dog accessories - they make for a really comfortable stay.
We really enjoyed our stay, the fantastic weather, and the friendly local people. Would highly recommend

We had a great week in the Old Post Office, it was very comfortable and was clear lots of care and attention had gone into the recent refurb, both from the perspective of how the cottage is set up to the little things that make for a relaxing and enjoyable week away. We were impressed when we first walked in and all of us enjoyed our stay, even without the weather to make full use of the garden and hot tub! We’d love to be back when we next visit Dorset.
