The Sherborne Awarded Diamond Grade at the 2025 Loo of the Year Awards

We are absolutely thrilled to share some wonderful news… The Sherborne has been awarded a Diamond grade in the 2025 Loo of the Year Awards — the highest possible rating and a national recognition of excellence. This is an extraordinary achievement, and one that reflects the passion, standards, and care that go into every detail of our visitor experience.

Following our inspection on 3rd October 2025, our facilities were praised for their stunning presentation, unique design, pristine cleanliness, and incredible artwork, with the inspector noting that:

“These facilities are beautifully presented with amazing décor and incredible artwork! The presentation and attention to detail is stunning. The level of cleanliness is pristine throughout.”

To receive such outstanding feedback — and the coveted Diamond grade across our male, female and accessible facilities — is a testament to our team’s commitment to creating welcoming, thoughtful and inclusive spaces for every visitor.

Celebrating at the National Awards

To mark this achievement, we are delighted to have been invited to the Loo of the Year Awards Event on Wednesday 14th January 2026 at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham.

A Huge Thank You

This recognition belongs to our entire Sherborne community — our dedicated team, our supporters, and every visitor who helps bring this historic house and cultural space to life.

We are so proud that our facilities not only meet but exceed national standards, and we look forward to continuing to build spaces that are thoughtful, accessible, and full of character.

We can’t wait to attend the awards ceremony in January and celebrate this wonderful achievement. Thank you for being part of our journey.
