It's rare to find a Bed and Breakfast where the proprietors have got it all right, but Rectory House in Evershot is one of those places. Owners Jan and Barry have got a pretty winning formula. Situated in the picturesque village of Evershot in Dorset (roughly halfway between Yeovil and Dorchester), Rectory House is a lovely old building with a spacious garden to one side. The rooms are big and airy, whilst still feeling cosy and snug. All have en-suite bathrooms with both baths and showers. Our bathroom was also very spacious and comfortable, which was a nice contrast to some B+Bs where the bathroom has been squeezed into a corner, just because it needs to go somewhere. There's a guest lounge on the ground floor, which could be useful if you have a large group staying, but our room was big enough that we had no need to use it.

The English Breakfast was tasty and well cooked, there was a decent selection of cereals, plus jams etc to go on your toast. Jan and Barry were welcoming and easy-going, giving us plenty of space to just come and go as we pleased. We were given a key to the house, and the way it's set up means that you don't feel like you're disturbing people if you come home late from the pub.

The rooms are really well equipped. Having a safe in the wardrobe is a really thoughtful touch. I felt no need to use it at all, but the fact that its there makes a difference, and is pretty rare in B+Bs. My one grumble would be the 2pound laundering charge if you request a bath robe. This wasn't mentioned on the web site, and if I'd known I'd have brought my own. The charge itself isn't totally unreasonable, but it would be nice to know in advance. This is a minor grumble though, and doesn't really change my opinion that Rectory House is a really well set up place. Highly recommended.
