Bakehouse Bed & Breakfast is an 18th century former bakehouse that now offers bed and breakfast accommodation located in the centre of historic town of Sherborne in Dorset.
The
bed and breakfast is only a two minute walk from the famous Sherborne Abbey,
town centre and ancient castle.
Sherborne
is an affluent market town in north west Dorset, England. The town is famous
for its history, including its abbey, castles, manor house and private school.
Sherborne's
two castles are known locally as old and new. Sherborne Old Castle, is now in
the care of English Heritage; Cromwell took 16 days to capture it in the Civil
War and then destroyed it declaring it 'A Malicious and Mischievous Castle'.
Sherborne
Castle built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594, contains a fine collection of
pictures, porcelain and furniture. The Castle is open to the public from
April-October.
It is
the variety of shops which is delightful – from a violin repairer to made-to-measure
corsetiere, from a host of celebrated antique shops and art galleries to the
specialist sources of cheeses and bustling markets on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Good
roads skirt the town to south, east and west, and the Waterloo – Exeter main
line station is a few minutes walk from the town centre.
