Really nice pool, with a proper deep end open quite late, and a sauna. Breakfast was ok, and you could just choose continental which was cheaper than full English. A nice pub was located opposite and about a 15 min walk into the town center of Shaftesbury

The Benett Arms is clean, comfortable, friendly and in a scenic and tranquil location. The food is excellent (our gluten free needs were catered for). We enjoyed the cosy bar with a wood burner fire. Our dog also enjoyed her stay as there were plenty of new canine friends to meet.

We loved Church Farm. It lived up to its name and was accommodation on a genuine working farm. The room and bathroom were big and our hostess was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

    A lovely village with some interesting history.

    A lovely village with some interesting history. The museum was good with helpful staff. We visited the infamous Gold Hill, where the 1973 Hovis advert was filmed. Found a great little coffee shop opposite the town hall.

    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.

    It was home away from home, with all facilities provided. Very quiet and lovely view of the garden from the living room. Fully stocked kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, cooker/oven, washing machine plus recycling facilities. Walking distance to Gold Hill, where the 1970s Hovis advert was filmed. There is a Tesco and Lidl in town and good pub (The Mitre) with an excellent view of the countryside. A good base to explore the area.

    On first impression the hotel looked very fancy. The staff were all fantastic and really friendly throughout the stay. When arriving in the room, which was well presented I was met with the radio playing classic FM. Not my station of choice but a lovely and classy touch. The room had a selection of drinks and a complimentary bottle of water (tap).
