Very lovely staff in a beautiful hotel in the heart of Sherborne.
Pros:

Our 5th (I think ) stay at The Eastbury and it was our best. All the staff were so lovely and friendly and helpful, room was comfy and clean, breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

Only for the bar to be open longer, but I understand you have new owners so this will come I assume. Also to be able to get Lattes or cappuccinos instead of standard coffee.

Hugely disappointing, after staying over a twenty year period, we won't be returning until renovated
Pros:

Quite good. Good choice of fruit Excellent scrambled eggs. Nice staff

Cons:

The hotel has become very shabby. Definitely not worthy of a five star rating. Towels were frayed, wardrobe doors creaked and squeaked. A real lack of maintenance apparent everywhere
Our mattress was so lumpy and uncomfortable that the very kind manager put a duvet under our bottom sheet so that we could get a decent night's sleep

Feels a bit tired and overpriced.
Pros:

Location and pool table. Staff were friendly.

Cons:

It’s a bit tired now, there were no staff overnight which was concerning if there had been a problem. The restaurant was only open for breakfast and no other time. It seems like a hotel that is on the verge of going bust.

Stay here when you visit Sherborne
Pros:

Excellent location in Sherborne. Staff v friendly and helpful. Comfy bed. Superb breakfast. Lovely garden and outside tables. Pretty drawing room. Table tennis table in the garden and snooker table in the library.

Cons:

It is undergoing refurb so service for drinks only open when reception is, between 8am and 8pm. However still a great place to stay.

Pros:

Nice rooms and helpful staff. Building and gardens nicely presented. Good breakfast. (Additional cost) It's not really what I would call a spa though as these facilities require separate booking and while drinks could be brought out to lounges, bar was not manned for if you came in from meal out after 8pm. It was comfortable and did meet our needs. Possibly need to consider value/price point as it was pricy for what was in the end offered.
