Deb, the host, is one of the nicest hosts we ever had. She was utterly friendly, helpful, nice and the breakfast she made for us was to die for! We felt like we were in a 5* hotel and at the same time at a cozy cottage with a family member. Country chic and charme describes the location best. You sleep in absolute silence and wake up to the sound of birds chirping. There is no traffic, the only thing crossing our way while walking to the local pub was a deer! It's also closely located to touristic attractions such as Stonehenge and Stourhead. Bear, Deb's dog, was the cherry on the cake to our stay!

    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.

    The room was a good size and the bathroom and shower were good. I had dinner and there was a good selection on the menu. Breakfast and a good selection also and the Full English was just right, not too much. The pub has an area with sofas and chairs which is great for relaxation after a long day cycling and the beers on offer are good. There was a music night on the night I stayed and that was enjoyable. I was on a bike trip and they offered to store my bike in the pub overnight for security which was a nice gesture.

    A wonderful B&B with a very comfortable bed and very friendly and welcoming hosts! I had to check in after 10 pm and when enquired via email, received a very quick and thorough reply with the instructions on how to enter the property after hours. In the morning I had a wonderful home cooked breakfast and really good time, chatting and laughing with other guests and one of the hosts - Diane, who has a brilliant sense of humour. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again, if I visit Shaftesbury.

    Very 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.

    Fabulous Cottage-we stayed at the Crown cottage (2 bedroom house)! The host ensured we had all the help we needed promptly. We had a great time, the place is right in the middle, 2 mins to the magnificent Gold Hill (you cannot miss) and 10 mins to Castle Hill. If in Shaftesbury, do not miss this place!
