Pros:

The room was spacious and spotlessly clean with everything I needed for a two night stay. Check in was easy and clearly explained. The property is five minutes walk from the centre of Sherborne and approx ten minutes walk to Sherborne Abbey. I had booked a table in the bistro for Friday evening and my meal was excellent.

Cons:

I was happy with everything about the property.

Very pleasant staff and comfortable room. Have stayed there before and will most likely do so again.
Pros:

Didn't have breakfast. Convenient location for central Sherborne.

Cons:

A room for two should perhaps have two rather than just one armchair in it.
