    The breakfast basket had everything to suit all tastes and was lovely. The house was ideally situated as we were attending a wedding at the Town Hall 2 minutes walk away and a reception 5 minutes away

    Perfect position for exploring Shaftesbury and the beautiful surrounding area. We attended the End of the Road festival at Larmer Tree Gardens which was only a 15 mins drive away.

The View is a brand new 2 bed single storey property which has been designed to take full advantage of the glorious countryside views over the Vale and beyond. A one of a kind property with a large private South facing garden and huge 12x3m sunny rear deck. The open plan living area takes full advantage of the stunning views. There are 2 spacious bedrooms 1 king-size, 1 double and luxury bathroom. Equipped with 5* linen and towels for your use. Located on the picturesque Shaftesbury High Street.
We are a local family from Poole. Myself, my partner Rob and two boys Vinny & Jaxon are an outdoor family and love to make the most of the beach, walks, swimming and getting out with our little dogs Minnie & Kiki. As a family we love to travel and we also love everything homely. We hope that you find our properties a home from home but would appreciate your feedback Rob and I have been hosts for some time and pride ourselves on customer service. Having lived in Shaftesbury for many years we know the area well and can offer recommendations, directions and advice on the area. We can be available by phone for the duration of your stay and we are also happy to visit if necessary (we live around 40 minutes away). Equally we understand that privacy and relaxation is what most people want from their holiday so we offer contact free check in. There is an information booklet within the property to guide guests of check in/out times, local attractions, important contact info i.e taxi, doctor, pharmacy etc, however we are always on hand for advice if needed
The property is located around 100 meters from the world famous Gold Hill; think Hovis advert! Nestled right in the town centre you have everything you need on your doorstep. Ideal location to explore the Dorset countryside and just 30 minutes from Salisbury and 45 minutes from the beaches of Bournemouth, Poole or Weymouth. Located in the town centre, most amenities are accessible by foot however, public transport is available from town centre (buses, taxis etc). Parking is in the pay and display car parks at either end of the high street. Parking is FREE from 6pm to 8am daily.
