    “The Old Post Office is as amazing as its pictures on Sykes website, and has many decorations referencing its history.”

    It truly has everything and more, you need and expect from a holiday home. There are hot and cold outside taps, a real bonus for muddy dogs and boots. There are helpful labels all through the property, with regard to lights and hot water taps. There are night lights that help you see at night whilst you get used to your surroundings. I definitely recommend this perfectly situated home.

About the location

SHERBORNE

Yeovil 6 miles.

The ancient town of Sherborne lies on the delightful banks of the River Yeo set amidst glorious unspoilt countryside and boasts many picturesque buildings, ancient Inns and quaint shops. Probably best known for its beautiful abbey and two stunning castles, one of which is relatively “new”, only dating back to 1594 and boasting superbly landscaped gardens, Sherborne makes an ideal place for a day of sightseeing or a quiet afternoon stroll. A short drive will take you to the stunning house and gardens at Stourhead and the sublime Dorset Heritage Coast, whilst just across the border in Somerset is the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, offering stunning displays of historic aircraft, including Concorde. A fantastic location for all the family.
