My daughter was undertaking a week-long work placement at the end of April in Yeovil, and value for money, comfort, safety and flexibility were key in my choice for suitable accomodation- the Bakehouse came up trumps in every respect. Having spoken to the owner before arrival I was very re-assured that my daughter would be made very welcome and that... More

Malcolm, Malcolm, Malcolm.......It seems you are unable to accept any constructive criticism. I have stayed in many cheaper and basic accommodation but this is no excuse for poor customer service and unclean rooms. Some of the rooms are fine and good value for money but others are certainly below standard (even though they are the same price ). If you... More

I stayed in The Bakehouse this weekend with a party of friends. We arrived earlier than was expected - perhaps we should have phoned up to let the owner know, so the lack of a warm welcome is perhaps our fault. However, the tiny rooms that some of us had certainly weren't our fault. And the dirt - not from... More

i think its always important that people see two sides of every dispute, as does trip advisor ,so the lady requesting i not respond to her tirade is rather futile , we ask people to arrive after 4 pm, if not please tell us in advance so we can be prepared for their arrival , we allow breakfast from 7...

OK Malcolm, I'm sure that you will write a response to my review, perfectly justifying your action, but I felt that it was important to let other people know about my experience and then they can make their own decision. I telephoned this hotel, desperate to find accommodation for my elderly mother for a Monday night in June. Another hotel... More

You've been warned! We ask for a ground floor room and we were given a first floor room over looking the busy road junction outside. There was no breakfast on the first morning (we were on time and waited 15minutes) so we gave up and bought some in the town. We had breakfast on the second day but sadly the... More

Stayed at The Bakehouse in Sherborne for the fourth time. I love this place. Owner and staff are very friendly and chatty. The two Labradors make it feel very homelike. Rooms are well kept clean and tidy. Beds comfy. Shower rooms clean and modern. Breakfasts are very filling, made fresh and set you up for the day. All in all... More

The Bakehouse cancelled our booking less than a week to go, we only found out via a friend who also had their reservation cancelled. They couldn't get hold of us apparently, although they emailed us our reservation and we were in on the night they said they tried to call. More
