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.

Great place to visit and walk round very pretty place.
But now the parking facilities for the hotel and local businesses in the High Street been made difficult.
Very sad,especially for us older clientele.

This accommodation shows how much the owners care about their clients. Ruth and Dennis are approachable and only willing to help. The Annex is warm, comfortable and a delight to spend time in. Quality materials, cleanliness and thoughtful content ensure that your visit is perfect. The location was excellent for walking into Shaftesbury and exploring the wider area. There are several supermarkets nearby if you need to top-up your food etc. I really hope that I can return.
Beautiful house in a perfect location 5 mins walk from the centre of Shaftesbury. The hosts were very polite and friendly, happy to engage in conversation, however not intrusive. Were very helpful when asked questions. spacious room with lovely shower room. Breakfast was amazing, excellent choice of really good quality and tasty food all beautifully presented.
will definitely stay again if we return to the area.
Beautiful pub.. Lovely people who couldn't do enough for you. Room was so warm and cozy.. Bed was to die for.. So clean and welcoming
Lovely hot shower.. And the biggest softest towels warmed on the radiator.. The breakfast was huge and amazing.. So much choice.. Had to Sunday carvery too.. Absolutely gorgeous
Will definitely stay again when in the area
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....
The pub was ideal for what we wanted. Accomodation near Shaftesbury. Room was a bit dated but comfortable beds. Dinner ok, I think I took a risk ordering steak - my husband enjoyed the fishcakes. Breakfast has to be ordered night before - as I couldn't eat the sausages - thought I may have got more than one rasher of bacon. Nice otherwise
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.
Lovely hotel in an excellent location. Beautiful garden/ courtyard to sit outside.
Easy parking in the hotel car park. Park walk view right off the High Street and fantastic panoramic walk around the town.
Free visit to the Shaftesbury Abbey garden and museum a few minutes away.
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.
This a lovely period cottage in the St James district of Shaftesbury just off the iconic Gold Hill. There are a dozen cafes and 4 pubs within walking distance as well as supermarkets and independent shops within the picturesque Saxon town.
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.
