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.

- From SEK 1,585.72 per night7.0Scored 7.0GoodRated good· 789 reviewsThe staff were really friendly and helpful which made our stay so much more enjoyable! We didn't get to eat at the hotel as they did not serve food on Christmas Eve (which was on a Sunday so this may have been the reason for no restaurant). The breakfast on Christmas morning however was great. We had booked two rooms, both were a great size, had very large beds, were clean and well equipped. The hotel was warm and comfortable. Brilliant to have a swimming pool which had long opening times.
LucyUnited Kingdom - 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 86 reviewsA brilliant home from home for a couple from which to explore the beautiful Dorset area. 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.

KerryUnited Kingdom - From SEK 1,355.32 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 294 reviewsVery friendly staff who were at pains to help make our stay - with our dog - as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. It’s a busy village pub but the locals are as friendly as the staff, and it was never noisy. They have a good menu and great craft beers too, plus a clean and comfortable room. The location is stunning too, and the local area has plenty to do no matter what the weather.

We thoroughly enjoyed an evening meal there with the quality of food and cooking excellent. Breakfast also cooked to order using top quality products and generous in quantity. Mark and Mary are wonderful hosts. Shaftesbury itself is charming and well worth a visit.
