Lyn

Kate could not have been more helpful. She phoned me several times to check I was OK to find my way there and park, and was polite and friendly at all times. In fact we felt more like friends staying than paying guests! It's not on the quietest road in Shaftesbury but we could barely hear the road (and we have bat-like senses). The bed was really comfortable so we slept very well.

Lovely town to explore.
Lovely town to explore. Gold Hill the main attraction but the streets at the bottom of the hill have lots of character and some thatched properties..We found a lovely millennium garden and a some interesting shops. Not so much to do on a rainy day around the area this time of year as the NT properties are not open yet so suggest visiting March onwards.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Beautiful old town, cobbled streets, amazing views.
Beautiful old town, cobbled streets, amazing views. Gold Hill has to be seen (google Hovis advert) even my 20 year old was impressed. We had a wonderful breakfast at King Alfred’s Kitchen instead of eating at our hotel. We stayed at Grosvenor Arms Hotel, very central, no parking if you at staying but car parks are available. I live close to Arundel in West Sussex and it reminded me of the medieval history. Nice people, nice views, beautiful place to have a weekend away.SamanthaUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

A beautiful part of Dorset with lots to see like Gold Hill and very good places to eat - The Mitre pub served delicious food with an amazing view. There are an interesting collection of shops to suit most people and the people were lovely.

It is hard to give a review of Shaftesbury, having spent just an overnight in the town. From first appearances, though, this town and environs is well worth a longer stay to explore. The Restaurant, San Tonino, is well worth a visit.

I thought it was a gorgeous town and I definitely want to go back. The buildings are so old and the town is full of historical interest. We only had a couple of hours, after coming to visit friends, and it was pouring with rain, but we went to Gold Hill and had a lovely hot chocolate there, and visited a gallery, and just really enjoyed walking around. We saw a house which Thomas Hardy featured in 'Jude the Obscure' and a yew tree that pre-dates Christianity. We briefly visited the free Gold Hill Museum and definitely would like to go back there. Apparently in the summer there is a lido.

Great place to visit and walk round very pretty place. But now the parking facilities for the hotel and local businesses in the High Street been made difficult. Very sad,especially for us older clientele. 🥲CorinneUnited Kingdom

- Avg. price/night: € 148.868.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 476 reviewsWarm, cosy hotel, friendly and helpful staff who were super helpful on arrival with where to park. We were here for an 80th birthday lunch. The food was exceptional and the staff were amazing. Lovely cosy bar and restaurant area with log fires and cosy sofas to hunker down in the evening. Superb room with balcony. We couldn't have asked for more! Shaftsbury town was an unexpected delight; artisan shops and coffee bars, plus the bonus of the view down Gold Hill!

Everything provided you could wish for, very clean and great welcome. Lovely views from living room to a pretty garden then across playing fields to distant hills. Shaftesbury is a lovely small historic hilltop town and its easy to get to the many attractions of Dorset and its coast through beautiful little villages. Totally enjoyed our stay.

helenYoung couple - 8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 677 reviewsExtremely dog friendly stay in a beautiful part of the country, the gateway to Dorset. The building itself is old and beautiful, made of that lovely greenish limestone so typical of that area. Inside is very tastefully decorated with check carpet and heritage colours. Dog themed pictures on the wall, which I liked but which may not be for everyone. Very clean and COVID secure. Excellent breakfast!

- Avg. price/night: € 116.308.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 293 reviewsThe pub was ideal for what we wanted. Accomodation near Shaftesbury. Room was a bit dated but comfortable beds. Dinner ok, I think I took a risk ordering steak - my husband enjoyed the fishcakes. Breakfast has to be ordered night before - as I couldn't eat the sausages - thought I may have got more than one rasher of bacon. Nice otherwise
