This is a very well equipped and comfortable cottage. It is attached to the owners’ farmhouse and the owner is very pleasant and helpful. The nearby village has a few amenities but Sherborne is very close with a Sainsbury ( next to the station) and a Waitrose that we didn’t find. There are plenty of places of interest nearby to visit. ##### Glen This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janette 24 Sept 2019 #### Peaceful cottage in a beautiful setting.
