Location

The delightful village of Evershot lies in a Conservation Area set on the edge of Melbury Park and many of the houses in the village are still owned by the Estate. The village and surrounding countryside are generally regarded as some of the finest available in the County and have many associations with the Thomas Hardy novels. The village with its active community has a pub, church, primary school, shop, bakery and Sumer Lodge Country House Hotel and Restaurant. It is for the most part made up of handsome period houses and cottages, the type for which the area is well known. The County town of Dorchester, Bridport, Beaminster, the regional centre of Yeovil and Sherborne are all within short motoring distance as is the Dorset coast. The A303 can be joined at Wincanton giving good access to London and the Home Counties along the A303/M3/M25 route. There are mainline railway stations at Yeovil and Dorchester.
