The Yard House was completly refurbished over the winter of 2018/19 to provide two cottages, one with two bedrooms and the other with three. The house itself was built about 500 hundred years ago and contains reclaimed ships timbers that form the main structure. The Yard House is located right in the centre of town set back from The High Street on its own private courtyard.
Hi, we are NIcky and Paul and we own The Yard House wich we fully refurbished in early 2019. We live next door in a seperate house that is the only other property on set on the private courtyard that the two properties share. We love walking, holidays and entertaining. It has been great meeting our guests and we have had visitors from all over the world, including China, South Korea, New Zealand, France and many others.
Sherborne is a fantastic place to visit with a splendid Abbey (2 minutes walk away), 2 Castles and the main High Street which The Yard House is located on, being set back from this on its own private courtyard.
