It started with one pub.

15 years ago, The Swan opened its doors and, although we didn’t know quite where the journey would take us, Stay Original was born too.

But The Swan will always be where it all began.

So next weekend, we’re heading back to the beginning and raising a glass to 15 years of The Swan, 15 years of Stay Original, and everyone who’s been part of the story.

Come and celebrate with us at The Swan, 4–8pm, Saturday 5 September.

September marks the start of a new chapter for The Eastbury.

Over the coming months, all 25 bedrooms will be refurbished alongside a new restaurant, bar and bakery – while preserving the character and features that make The Eastbury so special.

Stay Original Company has a strong track record of restoring historic buildings, most recently at The King’s Arms in Dorchester. The interiors will once again be led by Ali and Tilly Guttridge of Origin Interiors, the designers behind all the Stay Original properties.

We want to create a brilliant, welcoming hotel that feels completely at home in Sherborne – somewhere for the local community as much as those staying the night.

We’ll be sharing the journey here and can’t wait to welcome you back in spring 2027.

Some people book holidays a year in advance.

Others wake up on a Tuesday and decide Friday would be better somewhere else.

If you’re in the second camp, we’ve got good news.

We’ve made Stay Last Minute even better, with discounted member rates now available up to 21 days before arrival this summer.

That means more opportunities for a spontaneous escape to our hotels and pubs across Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire - whether you’re dreaming of a riverside stay, a village pub, a boutique hotel or a long lunch that turns into an overnight stay.

All you need to do is join The Originals, our free members’ club. It takes less than a minute to sign up and unlocks Stay Last Minute, along with other offers and little extras throughout the year.
