    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. 🥲

    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.

    The hotel is very central in Shaftesbury. Lovely atmospheric hotel especially the bar and restaurant. All the staff we encounted were very friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was also very good and cooked to perfection. Evening meal was good but we all felt (6 adults) that the food portions were a bit 'mean' but the food was tasty. Bedrrom we were in was comfy and well decorated. We would return.

    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.

    This is a beautiful example of how a property should be after working for weeks in the area in accommodation that doesn’t really meet ideal expectations this property was absolutely spot on! Beautiful barn conversion just a short drive out of Shaftesbury, absolutely spot on with comfortable bed and decent shower.

    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.

    The Lodge at Goldhill glamping was very comfortable and cosy and a brilliant tasteful little place to stay when exploring Shaftesbury and the surrounding area. We loved the log burner and the well equipped kitchen. The lodge was clean and nicely decorated and dog friendly too!

    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.

    The location was great and despite being on a busy roundabout it was easy to find and get into the drive. You can walk into town from the hotel in about 10 minutes. Shaftesbury is a beautiful old town with lots to see for a day. Plenty of lovely countryside around the area.

    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 property was fairly easy to find if your commuting by bus however if you are driving the navigation takes you to the back of the hotel. The facility was fairly clean. The children loves the pool.
