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.

Easy to get to location, Diane and Ian are lovely and make you feel very welcome. The breakfast are fantastic and set you up for the day. Would definately use again and look forward to our next trip down to Somerset.
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.

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.
lovely place in keeping with the aesthetic and feel of the the town. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Had lovely dinner and breakfast. Perfect English country hotel. Loved the email prior to arriving, we packed a small bag for the night so that we didn't have to lug our big suitcases up the stairs. Very considerate thinking ahead....
Breakfast was very good - plenty of choice.

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.
BREAKFAST WAS VERY GOOD, STAFF WERE VERY NICE , DINNER WAS OK BUT NOT MUCH CHOICE ,BIT EXPENSIVE ,WE WERE THERE FOR 4 NIGHTS SO ATE OUT SOMETIMES AS WE LOOKED AROUND DORSET WILTS., AND SOMMERSET.WANTED TO USE POOL AS IT LOOKED GOOD BUT DID NOT HAVE TIME.
The Studio is a quaint small cottage idea for two people. Its in beautiful countryside, and we enjoyed our stay in this quiet secluded cottage. It was our first visit to Dorset and it was ideal to visit both countryside and coast.
Extremely comfortable, well-equipped tents that were much appreciated by our group of female cyclists touring Somerset and Dorset. Carolyn was very helpful throughout the booking process and during our stay. Highly recommended.
This is a comfortable hotel with a relaxed atmosphere in the heart of historic Shaftesbury. We only stayed one night but will return for longer next year. Within easy walking distance of Gold Hill, the museums and views.
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.
The B&B is in a very convenient and quiet location for visiting Shaftesbury and the surrounding area. comfortable and spacious room, excellent and abundant breakfast, kind and helpful hosts
