This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

Foxden is a characterful cottage praised for its central location in Sherborne and its blend of old-world charm with modern conveniences. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and responsive owners. However, some noted issues with maintenance, cleanliness in specific areas, and the suitability of the cottage for those with mobility concerns due to steps and stairs.

Cleanliness

Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. While some guests found the cottage spotless, others reported dust, cobwebs, and a lack of thorough cleaning prior to arrival. The presence of fungus and unclean kitchenware in one review significantly impacts the score.

Location

The location is highly praised for being central and close to the town centre, with the convenience of a parking space. However, some guests mentioned traffic noise as a downside.

Comfort

Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a good blend of character and modern amenities. However, concerns about the suitability for more than two people, tricky stairs, and the need for better shower facilities slightly lower the score.

Facilities

Facilities are adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings mentioned. However, several reviews cite issues with maintenance, such as the need for handrails, better lighting, and improved bathroom facilities, which affects the score.

About this property

This delightful, terraced cottage sits on the main street in Sherborne, West Dorset. Wonderfully presented over three floors, Foxden is a great escape for families and friends looking to experience this beautiful Dorset location. Park at the rear of the property and follow the garden path down to the interior. The kitchen is where the designated chef can dust off those cooking books and relish in some home-cooking, utilising the electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and there’s even a dishwasher to help clean up! Take comfort in the living room, complete with flagstone flooring and exposed beams, this room boasts a homely character, enhanced by the woodburning stove resting in the chimney breast. Head up to the first floor, home to a double bed and family bathroom, complete with roll-top bath and hand-held shower. Continue to the second floor where the master king-size rests, featuring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. When you’re ready to explore, take a gentle stroll from this Sherborne cottage in the town centre. Spend an afternoon browsing the little shops before treating yourselves to a meal in one of the many superb restaurants or visit the ancient abbey and nearby castles. Other things to add to your itinerary, include the Vroom Room, an interactive garage and mini road system, which is great for those visiting with young children and the nearby Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton promises a wonderful day out. Take off to the nearby town of Yeovil, where you can explore the National Trust property of Montacute House or amble in the beautiful Ninesprings country park. Choose Foxden for your next escape to Dorset.

The historic town of Sherborne is home to numerous magnificent structures, historic inns, and charming shops. It is situated on the lovely banks of the River Yeo and is surrounded by gorgeous, unspoiled countryside. Sherborne is a great spot for a day of touring or a peaceful afternoon stroll. It is probably best known for its lovely abbey and two majestic castles, one of which is relatively "new," only dating back to 1594 and possessing superbly planted grounds. The gorgeous Stourhead mansion and grounds and the magnificent Dorset Heritage Coast are both accessible by short drives, while the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton in Somerset, which features breathtaking displays of historic aircraft—including Concorde—is only across the border. A great place for the whole family.
