    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.

    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.

    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. 🥲

    Very lovely property, spotlessly clean, quiet and with a beautiful garden. A very pleasant, idyllic walk to Shaftesbury's Gold Hill and the main street – we took trips to the bakery every morning. Check-in was seamless (lockbox with code) and the hosts very friendly. The apartment was bigger than expected. We had a wonderful time here and we look forward to returning someday.

    lovely place in keeping with the aesthetic and feel of the the town. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Had lovely dinner and breakfast. Perfect English country hotel. Loved the email prior to arriving, we packed a small bag for the night so that we didn't have to lug our big suitcases up the stairs. Very considerate thinking ahead....

    We arrived early and were able to check in immediately. The hosts are lovely and gave us tips on the area. Breakfast was delicious, much better than we'd expected. The hosts really went to a lot of trouble for us. Easy to find, easy to park. A short walk from the town centre but very convenient to access and leave. Lovely garden as well.

    Our room was spacious including the en-suite. All the meals were good(breakfast and dinner). Parking was fine. There is a petanque area, complete with boules. There are loads of outside tables to use for drinks and meals. Very dog friendly. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful.

    it was set in a very quiet location, but it was still easy to walk into Shaftesbury. We did not need to drive anywhere as plenty of interesting walking in Shaftsbury and surrounding area. The annexe is all on one level but the walking in Shaftesbury is pretty hilly - lovely though.

    Breakfast was very good - plenty of choice. We appreciated that staff found I had left my toothbrush and toothpaste in the room and they bothered to tie it to my car while we were exploring Shaftesbury. They did know we were leaving the car in the carpark for a little while.

    Brilliant location for exploring Shaftesbury and a very unique stay in a slice of history. Updown Cottage is well equipped, small but perfectly formed! Lovely touches like baby grand piano, cupboards full of games and good quality kitchen appliances and utensils.

    The Studio is a quaint small cottage idea for two people. Its in beautiful countryside, and we enjoyed our stay in this quiet secluded cottage. It was our first visit to Dorset and it was ideal to visit both countryside and coast.
