The Cross Keys Sherborne

Breakfast was delightful: the food was good, the proportions generous and the service great.

Possibly the toast was a bit thick, which some people might like but I prefer a bit thinner.

Good staff excellent breakfast and dinner

Room needs a little tidying re painting

A Gem of Comfort and Elegance. From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in tranquility. The suite was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated with modern touches, and surprisingly peaceful despite being in the heart of the town. We all had the perfect night’s sleep, and the square facing suite offered a gorgeous view over the cloisters. Breakfast was a delight—with generous servings and options for every dietary need, served with care and a smile. The staff truly elevated the experience: warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our stay special. Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, this boutique hotel is a sanctuary of style and comfort.

Nothing

On first viewing we loved the design of the room. Good central position.

Generally housekeeping needs improving, especially in the shower room. The actual shower had a lot of mouldy silicone Skirting board was falling off of the wall. Sink was dirty. The room wasn't serviced during our stay. Carpet in bedroom badly stained. The location was great although we hadn't anticipated the impact of the bells from the Abbey clock which was every 15 minutes even during the night.

Breakfast was great. Staff are excellent. Rooms are superb.

Slightly cheaper price

Mo was the perfect host, very helpful and friendly.

Location and staff were fantastic - you'll hear the bells from Sherborne Abbey which is either charming or a nightmare depending on how soundly you sleep.

Still waiting for the invoice for the stay

Great stay !!

Very good location, around the corner from the beautiful Abbey. Clean, comfortable, with very nice decor and character throughout. Very friendly and helpful staff. Special mention for Megan, Tabby & the young man who was there when we arrived. Visits to The Abbey, Sherborne castle and Sherborne house are a must.

No parking on site but we knew that when we booked. Car parks nearby and good value. Nothing to dislike about the Crosskeys

Such a surprise when you walk through the main entrance. From the outside it looks like a very quaint old pub, but once inside it is fresh and modern. Our room was at the front of the Hotel, which overlooked the old Market Square. The Bedroom was extremely nice, with a lovely dressing area, which was separate to the main bedroom. There was a good selection of teas, coffee, and there was also a mini fridge which had fresh milk and a large jug of water, two cans of coke. Also there was some fruit and crisps to enjoy. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very very clean. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom too. The tv had the normal channels but also Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney...my husband and I may have watched a whole series after dinner!!!! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. A good selection at Breakfast, I had the Vegetarian English Breakfast but Vegan was also an option along with Eggs anyway and a good selection of pastries. Overall very lovely stay at The Cross Keys.

We only stayed for one night but we did not find anything we did not like.
