A lovely village with some interesting history.

A lovely village with some interesting history. The museum was good with helpful staff. We visited the infamous Gold Hill, where the 1973 Hovis advert was filmed. Found a great little coffee shop opposite the town hall.

Lovely town to explore.

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.

My Australian friends and I stayed for one night on our way from Cornwall to Hampshire. The property had everything for those who wish to self cater but we ate at their pub opposite. The choice of food at the pub was very good. The property was warm, clean, quiet and comfortable. Owner was quick to respond to our message. It is centrally located and main town is easily accessible by foot. Our stay included a very good selection of breakfast. We will definitely book again if passing through Shaftesbury.

Central and convenient, the gates to the property being from the High Street of Shaftesbury. Still it is peaceful, as the property is at the rear. Fabulous terrace and view, also with a garden. Tastefully furnished, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Friendly and helpful hosts who one can contact directly. We found it more convenient to park in a nearby car park, although it is possible to park a small car but could be difficult during busy times of the day from the High Street.

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
