Ideally situated within Dorset and conveniently close to the border of Somerset also, splendid Sigwells House sits amongst stunning countryside close to Cadbury Castle and Corton Denham Beacon, and with the popular town of Sherborne just ten minutes away.

Information Correct at the time of writing. Sigwells House is just a 10-minute drive from the charming market town of Sherborne. Sherborne offers a packed events programme, an impressive array of independent cafes and shops, two castles and an abbey with an illustrious history. The building is renowned for its ceiling - a fan-vaulted construction - one of the best examples of its kind in the country. Two Saxon kings – King Ethelbald of Wessex and his brother King Æthelbald of Wessex – are buried here as is the poet Sir Thomas Wyatt. The Jerram Gallery in Half Moon Street, established in 1993, exhibits contemporary British art and holds six exhibitions throughout the year featuring both established painters and sculptors along with emerging young artists from across the UK. A wonderful new addition to the town is The Sherborne, ‘a landmark destination for the arts' with an excellent cafe/restaurant and events programme. To truly discover Sherborne and its history you need to explore it on foot. There is a fascinating and picturesque walk around the Sherborne area entitled ‘Raleigh’s Country Retreat at Sherborne’. The 6.4 mile route, which takes in country lanes, gentle hills and pretty villages, reveals the legacy of Sir Walter Raleigh who formerly lived in the Norman castle before building his own manor house on the outskirts of the town in 1594. Within a short drive are several National Trust properties including Montacute House, Lytes Cary, Tintinhull and Barrington Court, and all are worth a visit if you have the time. The Stourhead Estate with its famous house, lakes and magnificent garden is just a 25-minute drive away. A trip to the county town of Dorchester is recommended where you will find a selection of museums including The Dorset County Museum or perhaps visit Thomas Hardy's house at Max Gate or his cottage at Bockhampton. Dorchester has a good selection of shops, cafes and restaurants and a walk around the Iron Age Hillfort of Maiden...
