Clare Cottage

Clare Cottage is to die for. Susie’s hospitality is unsurpassable, her breakfasts classic, her rooms comfortable, her garden beautiful and welcoming. I particularly enjoyed the “slipper” tub in my room, the most comfortable, fully reclining baths I’ve ever had. Sherborne is a beautiful town, and Clare Cottage is a perfect place to explore it from.

I wanted to stay somewhere lovely and super comfortable for six days in February, just in case it poured with rain. But it didn’t. Hooray. Susie has an eye for beauty. She also makes an excellent breakfast and is very generous with her time and her recommendations of places to visit (food and otherwise). The cottage is beautifully decorated and super cosy. I’m so glad I stayed here and I will definitely be back when the natural world is awake again.

Very welcoming from the start. Susie was a Great host and the cottage is loverly. The Blue room we stayed in was very well equipped and the large bed was very comfortable and both of us had a Great nights sleep. Breakfast was cooked to what ever you requested and the presentation was was great. Overall a fantastic place to stay just minutes away from the centre of Sherborne a great place to come and enjoy.

Lovely home and lovely streetscape to walk

I honestly have nothing adverse to say about this property and its charming and helpful hostess. Our room was large, furnished to a very high standard and was exceptionally clean and tidy. The "Garden Room" had direct access to the outside for evening relaxation. The property is a bit hidden being set back from the road amongst a group of cottages with their own parking area. House numberings are odd (229 at the low number end of the road?) but just look out for the catholic church that is on the opposite side of the road. Breakfast was faultless, high quality produce cooked well. We definitely hope to return.

Great location to explore Sherborne and surrounding area. We stayed in the beautiful garden room for two nights and enjoyed the wonderful breakfast each morning. Susie is a super host and made us very welcome. We will definitely return.
