We had the best break at Jolliffe. The owners were lovely and made you very welcome. The farm is in a beautiful location. The cottage was lovely and had all the comfort and amenities needed. I could not ask for any more of this stay and we would definitely return.

A cosy cottage in a lovely rural setting, near to the picturesque town of Sherborne. The owners were very welcoming and the children enjoyed helping to feed the animals and watching farm activities. Definitely worth a return visit for a longer stay.
