We had an excellent stay here, made even better with the timing of lambing season and being able to see so many babies. The house was so well suited to us, with plenty of bedrooms and toilets. I liked the upside down style to make the most of the views, though the stairgate came in handy. We appreciated having a cot and highchair provided as well so we didn't have to bring much from home. We had some excellent fish and chips from the Abbey fryer in Sherborne and enjoyed the old castle, carvery at the Rose and Crown and a trip into Yeovil. We would definitely come back and stay again

Our stay at Wriggle View was delightful. The accommodation is spacious, well laid out, spotlessly clean and quiet, with lovely views across the countryside. Jeanette and Terry are wonderful hosts, and made us very welcome, with their local knowledge, cheery presence and a legendary lemon drizzle cake! The youngest member of our party enjoyed playtime on the large enclosed lawn, and was thrilled to be on a working farm, with tractors, goats, and sheep tending their lambs just outside. There are footpaths across the fields and the woods nearby were full of bluebells when we visited. There several nice pubs nearby for meals out, and Sherborne and Yeovil are just a few miles away for local attractions, restaurants and shops. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay in the countryside and would happily return here for a holiday with friends and/or family. Top notch!
