Our
Properties
Unlike
many short-term rental and holiday letting
companies Sherborne Cottages and Apartments
only lists holiday
properties that we own, which has many important
advantages for our clients. We are directly
responsible ourselves for the preparations
and cleanliness of
each holiday cottage rather than relying on
a third party. We can immediately confirm
reservation requests,
we can be flexible in regard to arrival and
departure times, duration of stays and
personal one-off requests.
We are available to answer your questions with
first hand information and we can immediately
respond and
attend to any enquiries both during the planning
and duration of your holiday. We currently
own four self catering rental properties
in Sherborne – three
of which are available as holiday lets in 2009.
Our
self catering accommodation in Sherborne is perfect
for a short break or holiday in Dorset. Whether
you want a cosy cottage for your holiday in Dorset
or a spacious apartment for a weekend in the West
Country we have a holiday rental that's right for
you. Should you be looking for a week's accommodation
over half term, a longer holiday in the summer
or a short weekend or mid-week break at any time
of the year we have the flexibility to suit your
dates.
Sherborne
Sherborne,
situated 120 miles west of London in North Dorset
close to the Somerset Dorset border is one of the
showpieces of the West of England and is one of the
most attractive small towns in England. There are
few, if any, other towns that can boast such a wealth
of medieval buildings, 16th and 17th century houses,
ancient inns and almshouses as well as its magnificent
Abbey, famous historic school and two castles.
Many
of England’s most famous attractions can be
readily reached within an hours drive of Sherborne,
including Europe’s most famous prehistoric monument
at Stonehenge, Roman and Georgian
Bath, the majestic cathedrals at Wells
and Salisbury, Ancient Glastonbury,
Wookey Hole Caves, Corfe
Castle and the Stately homes at Wilton,
Longleat with its Safari Park and
Stourhead with its magnificent Gardens.
The magnificent Dorset Coastline containing both golden
sands and spectacular cliff scenery and the beach
resorts of Bournemouth and Weymouth
are also within a 60 minute drive.
The
area around Sherborne was immortalized by Thomas Hardy
who used Wessex as the setting for all his novels
and neither the wonderful scenery nor the beautiful
villages with old thatched cottages and half timbered
houses set amidst richly wooded and fertile valleys
that Hardy so lovingly described have changed. So
as well as offering its own attractions Sherborne
is ideally located for exploring Thomas Hardy’s
Wessex. For those who enjoy walking North Dorset and
South Somerset offer a wealth of beautiful walks including
many that start from Sherborne itself.
There
are hourly departures from London Waterloo for the
two and a quarter rail journey to Sherborne which
can be readily reached by road and rail from all parts
of the UK.
Whether
you want a base for exploring the West Country or
for a relaxing holiday or weekend break year round
it will be difficult to find a more attractive choice
than historic Sherborne and our self catering holiday
rentals are perfectly situated within or close to
the town centre.
