Dorset is open again! We want to reassure you that we will be fulfilling ALL the necessary requirements to give you a safe and secure holiday. At first this will include only accepting one booking for a couple or family group at a time, so you know that you will not meet other guests within the house. We provide sanitiser, but you may wish to bring your own, and also face masks for your own peace of mind.
For more information ring Sarah (number above on the header) for a chat about how best you would like to organise your visit. THE OLD BANK B&B is a comfortable, pretty 18th century house with off road parking in the centre of the attractive village of Marnhull, near Shaftesbury in the heart of Thomas Hardy country. We have ideal family accommodation and also welcome couples and individuals wanting a country break away from it all.
We are a dog friendly B&B with a secure garden. Relax and unwind on your holiday in a warm and friendly atmosphere at our bed and breakfast in Dorset. Set on a hill overlooking the Blackmore Vale in Dorset, Marnhull is an excellent centre from which to explore the countryside, the coast and the ancient towns of Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Bath and Salisbury.

Dorset has become well known as a 'foodie county'.
Marnhull is situated in the Blackmore Vale referred to by Thomas Hardy as the 'Vale of Little Dairies' and is proud of its local cheeses, celebrated annually with a Cheese Festival at Sturminster Newton.
You can find out more about this and the various entertainments that happen on the day on the Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival site.
Similarly Shaftesbury has a thriving food and drink festival with the famous (and slightly bonkers!) Cheese Race up Gold Hill.
