"The male member of staff who checked me in was excellent and a credit to the company. "

"The staff were very helpful, my room was comfortable and clean, and the Sunday roast was delicious."

"We had stayed previously and this time upgraded to a Silver Seaview Room. While small, it was perfect for our stay and the beds are really comfortable. Huge window allowed in the morning sunrise and have a perfect view of the seafront. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and this hotel is dog friendly which is a bonus for us as it means we can take our two with us. There are several options for parking, either on site (£10 and you hand in your keys) or free permit parking for large off-site car parking about a 10-15 minute walk. "

"We both had a truly wonderful stay at The Hillbrook in Sherborne. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly & made us very welcome to everything exceeded our expectations. The studio apartment was exceptional—beautifully presented, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed with comfort and attention to detail in mind. It felt both luxurious and welcoming, making it easy to relax and fully enjoy our time there. The peaceful setting added to the experience, and the overall atmosphere was calm and inviting. Every aspect of our stay reflected care and quality, and it’s clear that a lot of pride goes into maintaining such high standards. We would highly recommend The Hillbrook to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay in Sherborne, and we very much look forward to returning in the future."

"The place was very quaint and rustic and charming. The room was clean and the bed was restful. Everything was wonderful. We would definitely come back again."

"Plenty of shops near by, no air conditioning, room was clean and staff very pleasant. However, shower was terrible, waster dribbled out and took 5 mins before warming up. No hot water from sink after waiting again 5 minutes."

"Very warm and friendly welcome from reception staff. All other staff also very friendly and polite would definitely stay there again."

"Nice character and quirky but very tired property. Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a trip back in time and whilst functional, it needs replacing. The main hotel was comfortable and very relaxed and extremely dog friendly, which suited many guests. The food and service was very good."

"Beautiful clean room, friendly staff, delicious food, we cannot wait to return."
