Located at the tranquil settlement of Saxon Maybank, you can enjoy rolling countryside views, and peaceful walks exploring this idyllic rural location. Close to the Dorset border, the delights of both Dorset and Somerset are within easy reach.

Information correct at time of writing. The Cow Shed is situated 10-15 minutes drive from both the pretty market town of Sherborne (in Dorset) and from Yeovil (in Somerset). Ideally placed for exploring both Dorset and Somerset, 3.5 miles to the west is the sprawling town of Yeovil where you will find a good range of amenities. The town of Sherborne is well-situated for easy access to all of Dorset and Somerset, and attractions along with National Trust properties just a short drive away such as Sherborne Castle and Gardens, Sherborne Old Castle, Montacute House, Lytes Cary, Tintinhull, Barrington Court and The Cerne Abbas Giant. The nearby Somerset town of Yeovil has a selection of shops, cafes and restaurants. The Octagon Theatre in the town is a modern theatre and visual arts gallery hosting a broad programme of drama, dance and musicals. Ham Hill is a lovely countryside walk with stunning views stretching as far as Golden Cap, and The Prince Of Wales, Ham Hill, for something to eat. There are a number of restaurants to choose from in and surrounding Sherborne, some of the favourites include The Green, and The Rose and Crown Inn, both Michelin star restaurants, Tamburino Gold - a popular Italian restaurant, and The Penn Mill. A visit to Mapperton House and Gardens near Beaminster, a magnificent Georgian Manor House is recommended. For golfers, the Yeovil Golf Club is just a 5 minute drive, and for those happy to travel further, there is also the Sherborne Golf Club, a mature 18 holed course, is just a 16 minute drive away from The Cow Shed. The clubhouse and course offer wonderful vistas over the Blackmore Vale to the South and Glastonbury Tor to the North.
