It was faultless. Everything has been thought out so well, you feel very welcomed like a house guest. Thank you. Wish we had longer than a night.

Fab Country House Hotel
Fab family run hotel with traditional values. Located in a rural area with stunning views. Great staff, one of the nicest hotel rooms we have stayed in. Cosy bar area with a great atmosphere throughout. We will visit again.

Response from Jon Fletcher, Manager on 17 Jun 2023
I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay. As we had a lengthy discussion, I know this was because we do not take cash. We are very up front about this; it is on the website that you booked on, we send you an email with the information three days before check in, you signed the online registration card accepting that we do not take cash, there is a sign on the front door and it was explained to you at check in. I am not sure why, having been made aware of this in so many ways, it wasn't until after dinner that you chose to make your complaint.The team on duty were unable to deal with the matter to your satisfaction and so I came from home to speak to you. As explained to you at the time, the nearest branch of our bank which has not become 'cashless' is a 40-mile round trip. By the end of the month, when the branch in Dorchester closes, the quickest will be a 2 hour round trip, 74 miles. While I understand your frustration, directing your anger at businesses who have had the cash infrastructure removed from around them is misplaced. Perhaps you might like to write to your MP, or the banks who are closing more and more branches each year.

The hotel was in a beautiful setting quiet close to a lot of historical landmarks. The food in the hotel was superb as well and Sherbourne town centre was a 10 minute drive away with a lovely Abbey and lots of nice pubs and restaurant. Plume of feathers was great, an Italian tapas,, this was opposite the Abbey

Brilliant
I normally don't bother with reviews but our party of 4 were so blown away by the Grange that I felt compelled to contribute something. What was expected to be a ho-hum overnight stay at a modest 3 star hotel turned out to be something way, way better. The overall setting was perfect - a beautiful location in the middle of nowhere, The accommodation was outstanding: spacious, clean, individual and beautifully appointed. Everyone we met, and I mean everyone, was so helpful, warm and friendly, that it was a joy just to be there. But the really unexpected bonus was the food. An outstanding and beautifully appointed restaurant with an imaginative dinner menu and probably the best breakfast I've ever had. Just the most perfect place.

Exceptional - elegant, comfortable, and with a superb restaurant. A friendly welcome from management and staff. Covid protocols evident but not intrusive. Well placed for the Haynes Motor Museum and the attractions of Sherborne.

Lovely countryside hotel in a quaint hamlet. Plenty of nice little features, great friendly and welcoming service - and amazing breakfast! The bathroom could have done with a bit of an upgrade but the room was comfortable and had everything we needed.

The location was excellent, gorgeous village and very handy for Sherborne, which is also very pretty. There was plenty of parking.The hotel seemed well laid out and our bedroom and bathroom were clean, light and spacious. We stayed in three hotels on our trip and this was our favourite. Main drawback was the lumpy mattress. I didn’t sleep well because of the springs sticking into me. Hotel breakfast was OK.
