The Loft
Sherborne, South West England
The Loft is a cosy cottage in Sherborne, Dorset, suited to a couple after a quiet, uncomplicated break in this part of the South West. It makes a handy base for exploring the town and surrounding countryside at your own pace.
History and local heritage are close by, with Sherborne Museum 4.4 miles away and the Sherborne Steam & Waterwheel Centre just a touch further at 4.5 miles.
