Nice room. Great location. Easy to park and find. Staff so nice and kind. And made me a packed breakfast as I left so early in the morning. What a lovely place to stay. Nice puppy too.
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.

Had a lovely 2 night stay at Kates in Shaftesbury whilst attending a wedding.
A lovely clean and relaxing room, very comfortable bed with plentiful amounts of tea and coffee available.
Bathroom has an amazing relaxing view over rolling countryside!
Felt very at ease due to hosts lovely personable way about her.
Would highly recommend staying!
Very close to town and restaurants/ pubs/ Gold Hill etc
We stayed for 2 nights during the last hot spell. The garden is a lovely oasis for a pre dinner drink. We thoroughly enjoyed an evening meal there with the quality of food and cooking excellent. Breakfast also cooked to order using top quality products and generous in quantity. Mark and Mary are wonderful hosts. Shaftesbury itself is charming and well worth a visit.
The room was clean and lovely and the pool and restaurant was really good but the lady that served us dinner and breakfast made our visit she was so lovely and friendly and really kind towards my daughter i didnt get her name but she had short dark hair and told me she had 11 grandkids... but i would love to thank her she was so lovely a credit to the hotel.
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....
We arrived early and were able to check in immediately. The hosts are lovely and gave us tips on the area. Breakfast was delicious, much better than we'd expected. The hosts really went to a lot of trouble for us. Easy to find, easy to park. A short walk from the town centre but very convenient to access and leave. Lovely garden as well.
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.
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 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.
Lovely cosy proper pub, really good food and all staff were great! Very comfortable nights sleep, lovely and clean - would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit the area
The Location was perfect for me as i had to be in Shaftesbury for
a few appointements, and the town is only a few minutes away,
I did'nt have a breakfast, as not used to having one
Is self catering, the location was excellent, ideal for exploring local area's of Dorset. The owners were friendly and helpful, left tea, coffee and cookies for us. Will go again.
Lovely old cottage, very comfortable and with everything provided. Great location for short walk into Shaftesbury town centre. Friendly and helpful hosts.
