A warm, spacious cottage which is well equipped. Very clean, lots of towels, nice linens, main mattress could be better. Lots of doors and windows in all rooms making this a lovely place in summer. A woodburning stove looked great for a winter stay although we didn't use it for our May visit.

Such a gorgeous place to stay, we had a relaxing girls' weekend here in late November and it was cosy, comfortable and well-equipped, perfect for watching Christmas films with woodburner and a Bailey's! The location is quite rural but it's 10 mins drive to lovely Sherborne, and there's a cosy pub the Queen's Arms not far away either (we didn't walkRead more as it was the dark and cold winter months, but apparently it is walkable). We also did some walks in the local woods and farmland areas. Hide

We had a lovely 4 nights staying in Saddleback at The Piggeries. All the rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. Our 2 dogs loved the garden, and going for walks in the surrounding countryside. The bacon, bread, butter and milk were delicious. It was nice to have a welcome pack of fresh, local produce. There was also coffee and eggs but we didn'Read moret use these. We enjoyed trips into Sherborne, which is a lovely town with lots of pubs, cafs, and a beautiful Abbey. Hide
