The staff were brilliant. I stay in hotels every week for work and the young girls here are so obliging and accommodating and nothing was a problem. I have not had service like this since pre covid! Well done you were amazing. Thank you. The hotel was really lovely and the room very clean and comfortable and the ambience was lovely.

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!

Excellent location near Abbey, gold Hill and Main Street. Town very picturesque. Food and service were superb, dinner and breakfast. Proprietors were friendly, professional and flexible. All aspects of the restaurant and housekeeping were first class. On site parking is a bonus: parking is not easy in Shaftesbury.

Lovely location chosen as stayed before. 3 rooms just at the back of the pub. Pub is a lovely country one, seems quite vibrant and breakfast on offer, great choice and freshly cooked. Rooms are tidy and bed comfortable. Tea and coffee also available. Towels large and fluffy.
