The Eastbury & Spa

I booked a Gaia Bespoke Massage with Lucy (Fri 22 Dec) in the cosy spa. Lucy asked if there were any specific areas I wanted her to concentrate on, which I had. Lucy spent a goodly amount of time on the specific spots and I left feeling incredibly calm and tranquil. Thank you Lucy for the excellent treatment - I will be back again, and thoroughly recommend a visit to the Eastbury Spa to anybody considering it.

This is an exceptional & elegant traditional hotel. From the time I made my reservation to checking out the customer service was top rate. I was attending a family funeral in Yeovil. The family residence is located in Sherborne & they recommended I stayed here. The room, Kingscup, was warm, clean & luxurious. The bed was so comfortable with loads of pillows! I must mention, Gemma, the Manager, who went beyond the call of duty, when i had a medical issue & needed A&E! Together with Lydia & Amaldene, who were all receptive to personal needs & very friendly. The hotel is in the process of changing to new management in December. The breakfasts were delicious & beautifully catered, however, in the evening it was necessary to select & eat at local restaurants. I would recommend the ‘Plume of Feathers’ opposite the Cathedral. ‘Tambolinos’ is also another good Italian eating house. All together the staff are very kind & welcoming & the accommodation & location is perfect for getting into Sherborne. Without hesitation I highly recommend the Eastbury Hotel.

This is definitely not a five star hotel. The room was in need of major refurbishment and lacked basic services such as a room safe and hand soap in the bathroom. You are told to use the in room Alexa to call reception, when I tried to do this it told me they were offline so I had to use my mobile phone to call reception. The restaurant is closed and staff leave the premises at 9pm telling you to use an emergency telephone number should you need to. Overall very disappointing for the price. It’s an overpriced B&B.

We had the best stay at The Eastbury Hotel. It truly was a joy from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. On arrival we noticed some lovely touches to the room such as the walking guide. We decided to follow one route around the castle and were so glad we did. We would highly recommend. Everything about our stay was perfect. The food, staff and facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa. Our potting shed was so cosy - you almost didn’t want to leave! We didn’t need it during our stay but it also had under floor heating. The grounds were kept beautifully and it was lovely just relaxing around the hotel. It was so peaceful. Be sure to book an afternoon tea. It was delicious. A very special place that we will look forward to visiting again.

The spa massage by Becks was the best I’ve had - we felt really relaxed & invigorated after our spa session - lovely tranquil setting / divine products - hot tub under the trees & chilled Prosecco what’s not to love.

A wonderful overnight stay in one of the 'Potting Shed' rooms. Finished to an exceptional high quality creating a warm, inviting ambience. All staff very welcoming. Breakfast and service excellent. We will return again. Thank you.

We really couldn't fault the Eastbury. Our room, with an extremely comfortable large four poster bed, was quiet and well equipped and we had our own little patio where we enjoyed the delicious sloe gin which the hotel provided. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and the breakfast was excellent: a mix of healthy berries, nuts and yoghurt, followed by poached eggs and avocado on toast. We didn't need lunch! We would go back in a heartbeat.

The garden suite (Thyme) was amazing, an unexpected upgrade to the room we paid for. So tranquil and well equipped, loved the comfort and design with the bifolding doors onto the patio and the skylight. The breakfast was great too with lots of choice! Amazing experience

My Husband and I had such a fantastic stay at The Eastbury Hotel & Spa, the staff were incredible and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was extensive so much to choose from. The location was perfect just a very short walk into town, the location was very quiet, and lovely to hear the birds singing and no town noise. We went to a few local restaurants, The Tamborino Italian restaurant was amazing, the service and staff were excellent. Sherborne is such a pretty town with lovely individual sops and lovely places to have coffee. We visited Bath, Mulberry the old school house, clarks village etc A big thank you to Ellie.
