Newell Restaurant & Rooms — Restaurant in England

A warm welcome awaits at Newell Restaurant & Rooms; I already knew how excellent the food is because my sister planned and hosted, with Tracey's help, a dinner party there, but I needed an overnight stay to surprise her at another event. My room was spacious, scrupulously clean and, given the location on the A30, miraculously quiet. There is a special tea/coffee closet in the hall that's available 24/7, with a fridge containing fresh milk, biscuits, etc. You must stay for breakfast, in the delightful dining room, not only because it's freshly cooked and delicious, which it is, but also because the toast is unbelievably good. When I asked why, I learned that it's because Paul bakes his own bread. Of course he does. This is a gem of a place in Sherborne; conveniently located and a pefect base from which to enjoy this...

Without wanting to gush the food here is simply sublime. Perfectly executed classic dishes. Simple decor and great value. If you are a foodie you will love this place and tell your friends about such a 'find'.

Quality of food is (without exaggeration) 1 star Michilen standard but without the popm, foams and starch table-cloths. We return every year and Tracy is a wonderful host. Paul in the kitchen is a world-class chief, cooking what he loves with happiness.

Value is excellent, three of us had 3 (well 2.5) courses and a bottle of wine and came in at £135. This would have been easily double in London and would have struggled to taste as good.

You will walk in and worry about the decor and think 'how can this be high-end', you will then eat your first mouth-full and all doubts...

My wife and I stayed in one of the hotels as we were celebrating my parents anniversary who live in Sherborne. We did not eat at the restaurant.the hotel check in was easy, the service we received very good. The room itself was quite small but has everything you would expect. The bed though was uncomfortable hence the average rating as for the price paid I would hope for a better nights sleep. Everything else though good, you have tea and coffee facilities in a kitchen on the same floor, the shower was excellent and the TV fine.||The reality is if they stuck a premier inn bed in one of the rooms I would have scored this 4...
