Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. The location was also perfect, directly opposite the Abbey, and free parking was a great advantage,

Room a bit 'tired' and a couple of lights did not work, although they tried to fix one. Be aware that there's a steep outside spiral stairway to negotiate, maybe with your luggage, to access the Courtyard Suite.

The location is superb, right opposite the Abbey. We had lunch in the beautiful courtyard, really loved the ambience! And also ended up eating there in the evening. The food is absolutely superb, never had Italian Tapas! Staff were amazing.

Whilst being aware that the pub is centuries old, I think that the accommodation really needs updating. I had a lovely night's sleep but things were just very tired feeling. I also feel that the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner - but I acknowledge that there are things that maybe don't look clean even when they are, ie shower heads and shower screens, which then comes under the 'needs updating' heading. I did feel that new bed linen would be a good touch, as well as some brighter paint, the room felt very dark But I am not marking anything down, because I loved my stay here!

Friendly & helpful staff. Food was superb - we were a party of 12 and chose the Medio menu, which was excellent. Also the breakfast was the best that I have had at a hotel. Lovely location opposite the magnificent Sherborne Abbey. Sherborne is a lovely town to boot. We much look forward to returning to Sherborne and to the Plume of Feathers. Finally, thanks to Nick and his staff for putting up with me constantly phoning and changing the number of guests attending! The Private function room was perfect and the evening thoroughly enjoyed by us all.

There was nothing that we didn't like.

Fantastic location in the town centre and opposite the beautiful abbey where we were attending a wedding. The breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious, we both went for the full English but there were lots of other good options too. The fresh orange juice was lovely!

On the whole it was a very quiet stay overnight but the fire doors directly below us were quite loud when someone came through them and the lane behind the room was a little noisy in the evening, but nothing within the control of the Plume and not too disruptive.

The place we stayed was clean and lovely and cozy, the staff were all pleasant friendly and always asking if we needed anything else always going out of there way to see if we were in need of anything else the food was exeptional including service, even to the point manager asked how our stay and food was. the garden was perfect, we came down to stay the weekend for a potential move to sherbourne and they have definatly impacted on our decision with the surrounding and lovely staff and the people coming in made our choice a lot easier. Could not fault them in the slightest would definatly stay again and would reccomend it to everyone too.

Excellent location and easy parking. Fabulous breakfasts and very friendly staff. Fresh milk in the fridge for tea and coffee in our room and supplied with glass bottles of water which was much appreciated. Bed was very comfortable and room was large and well furnished.

Noisy deliveries to the Bathroom shop downstairs very early in the morning meant we were often woken up too early.

We were unable to stay for breakfast as we needed to be where we were going earlier than breakfast. However, they very kindly gave us bacon sandwiches wrapped in tin foil for us. We were allowed to have one of our dogs in the room with us. He's an older dog and he found the stairs steep but he was fine. We had the most amazing dinners in the Plume of Feathers for both evenings. All the staff are very welcoming and helpful.

There wasn't anything I didn't like

The breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful thorughout. My room was comfortable, and I'd really struggle to find any suggestions for improvement here.

Really struggling to find a problem, but the one improvement I'd suggest is better signage and/or lighting for out-of-hours access to our room. We arrived back after the restaurant had closed, and finding the right door into the courtyard in the dark and rain was tricky. I'd also had a drink or two (or three?), so open to the idea that some of the difficulty may have been self-inflicted...

Fantastic location and very good food in the evening and for breakfast. Good ambience in the bar and restaurant. It is so nice to stay in a hotel that is not part of a chain. The owners were on hand and really cared about giving a friendly and memorable experience. Top marks for this Bedroom was a bit disappointing. Somewhat drab and needed a bit of TLC but the overall stay was great

Slightly drab bedroom

It was quirky and very old. Our room was very comfortable with plenty of facilities, including hair dryer and ironing board. The property was very well located opposite Sherborne Abbey and right in the centre of town. Free parking nearby was provided.

We knew beforehand that you had to go down a set of stairs to the bathroom. Pod lighting was provided, however, for those middle of the night visits.
