Weekend stay in a well-equipped, spacious cottage in quiet location with friendly owner. Nice to have milk and cake supplied on arrival. We had a good sunday lunch at Longburton with friendly locals and was nice to explore Sherborne. Rough lane and driveway to get there which wouldn't suit a car with low ground clearance.

The Loft is a stylish comfortable and warm cottage. It was extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable. It was well equipped. There was milk and cake in welcome pack and the option of eggs and honey. We were made very welcome. It was interesting to see the workings of the farm. Would thoroughly recommend it
