Things to Do
Sherborne tourist information office is on 01935 815341. It is open between 10am and 3pm Monday to Saturday. There are lots of lovely pubs in the area including The Antelope in Hazelbury Bryan, The Three Elms in Alweston and The Digby Tap in Sherborne. Beaches are 30 to 40 minutes drive away and are absolutely gorgeous! Durdle Door and Man o War are especially beautiful. There are many footpaths near the house, one of which leads to the ancient village church and beyond - to a pub in Bishops Caundle called the White Hart. It tends to be packed at lunchtime though, so booking is a good idea.
