The Eastbury Hotel

In the middle of all this history is The Eastbury, which was once a private Georgian residence. In keeping with the period, the house is spacious and bright. Bedrooms are scrupulously clean, very comfortable and thoughtfully furnished, and some overlook the very English walled garden. The restaurant is housed within a lovely conservatory, and in summer guests can also eat outside on the terrace if they wish. The style of cooking is decidedly English, and the region provides an abundance of high-quality produce. It's always a good sign when a restaurant is popular with the locals - and The Eastbury certainly seems to be that.

In Sherborne itself there is much to see, making The Eastbury even more tempting - but there is also an inexhaustible list of places to visit in the surrounding area, which should not be overlooked.
