TEMPLECOMBE

Sherborne 8 miles.

The village of Templecombe is situated in the heart of the Blackmoor Vale, where north Dorset joins west Somerset, and is surrounded by idyllic countryside and farmland with many fine views. Templecombe offers good pubs, village shops and an abundance of lovely rural walks. Fly fishing is also available with day permits on offer for the local river. The ancient town of Sherborne, with its castle, (once home to Sir Walter Raleigh) and abbey can be found a short drive away, along with the old hilltop town of Shaftesbury, Stourhead Gardens, Glastonbury and Stonehenge, all within easy reach. A superb base for exploring this lovely part of the world.

The cottage was small but a bit more spacious than expected. The owners were very friendly and full of useful advice, but were not overbearing.

It is a lovely place to stay. We would mark the cottage 10/10. The owners are lovely and have very helpful tips on what to see and do in the area. The cottage has a beautiful garden and have very unique glow worms that come out at night. We will be going back to stay again.
