Lovely guesthouse
Lovely guest house in the centre of Shaftesbury. Nice touches such as filter coffee and refrigerated milk in the room, along with great service make this guest house stand out from the crowd.

Loved this hotel.A very relaxed set up, felt like we were staying at a friend’s house for the night. Breakfast was delicious, couldn’t try dinner as it was a Sunday and dinner isn’t provided on Sundays.Would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely hotel staff and breakfast was excellent. It’s just not an ideal place if you’re a light sleeper. The rooms aren’t exactly sound proof; we could hear chatter from the dining room below and snoring from the room above ours. Perfectly fine for one night but if we’d stayed for another night we would have asked for a room not above the dining area.

Well located for our purposes (a family wedding nearby). Not far from the main road, and within easy walking distance of Shaftesbury town centre. On-site parking is very limited, but we were able to use a public car park a couple of hundred yards away. Comfortably furnished in a homely, country style - although our room felt slightly overcrowded with furniture: the wardrobe, desk and sofa seemed a bit too big. Staff were welcoming and helpful

The place to stay in Shaftesbury.
A wonderful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Delight. We had car trouble just outside of town and luckily ended up on their doorstep. Thank goodness there was room at the inn! Wonderful staff, nice clean & spacious rooms, comfortable bed. Large lounging area full of books and a backyard patio with much needed cool breezes on a July evening. The food was amazing! Scrumptious sandwiches in the evening, dining room was full of enticing dinner choices- but we had had a long evening and wanted something. A delicious morning breakfast with many choices to order from. Everything was great. A special nod to the amazing staff who with a few calls helped us get another interim rental car a local car tire company to replace the tire. Thank you!

One night business stay
Overnight stay with business, not able to really comment on the surrounding area. The room was clean, tidy and well presented. Staff were helpful and polite. I didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food. My only reservation would be parking is limited and you can easily find yourself blocked in which isn't ideal if you arrive late and need to leave early. The internet was a good connection with no additional charges. Would I stay there again? Yes.

A relaxing overnight stay.
The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Friday evening, but the food was good. Our room was a bit cramped for the price but reasonably comfortable. The hotel seemed to blend in well with the quiet atmosphere of a small county town. Overall a pleasant stay.

Stay for friend's 60th birthday party at Hotel
After a long slow drive from London it was nice to arrive at a charming small hotel where I could sit quietly in the garden enjoying a drink. My room was so well appointed I could not find the smallest fault. The evening party was held at the Hotel which accommodated 32 of us for an evening meal which was excellent as was the wine. Staff brilliant and friendly. The following morning I had the perfect full English breakfast all done with the minimum of fuss and full of politeness. Not only would I use the Hotel again but would strongly recommend it to others. I don't think another Hotel in Shaftesbury could have beaten it on charm and relaxation.

Lovely overnight stop in Shaftesbury
Stopped here on way back from Cornwall and was very pleasantly surprised at how nice the rooms were, given this is not the primary focus for the owners. The room was very comfortable and provided everything we needed. The breakfast was excellent, very well cooked and presented. After check out the staff allowed us to leave our car in the car-park, enabling us to visit the town and enjoy the annual food fair on Sunday 13/May.

We had a very enjoyable mini-break, which was aimed at marking my wife's 50th birthday. Shaftesbury was a great place to stay (lots of good walks in the town and in the countryside nearby), and the hotel and restaurant were both first-rate. The restaurant lived up to its aim of offering fine dining (including a solid wine list), while the hotel had a very homely air (albeit a better-appointed home than our regular one!). Our hosts could not have been more welcoming.

Very pleasant, not perfect, but good value
A really lovely place, the room is large and very comfortable though the double bed was two singles locked together like you get when holidaying on the Med. The town is picturesque and very nice when passing through. Excellent wifi and even a computer in the room to use, a very thoughtful touch and the bathroom is huge. Drawbacks other than the bed are that I could hear the guy upstairs snoring! Also did have a few ants in the bathroom, but I reported that and the staff were outstanding so I'd like to think that will have been dealt with. I'd definitely stay again when passing through the area.

I was greeted by the owner/Chef, a very nice man. His wife and himself made sure that I knew all I needed about the hotel, the room and the surrounding town and attractions. I then had the pure pleasure of dining in their restaurant, the food was exquisite and all local produce.

Close to town centre
This Hotel was warm cosy and pleasant. I stayed with a friend from over seas and the staff were very pleasant. The Hotel had rooms in close proximity to one another but when I was there it was quiet. The food was good. The rooms were a bit small but did have a small lap top computer & the wi - fi was easily accessible. There was everything one needs but it was perhaps a little over priced considering facilities. Positioned within easy walk to the centre this was conveniently placed.
