Rose
United Kingdom
We arrived, travel-weary, to a warm welcome. We were shown to our room, a huge, light bright room and went down to a delicious home cooked meal. We had a really good night, in a large extremely comfortable bed, and next morning had an excellent breakfast, again home cooked and perfect. The hosts, Jonathan and Ronnie, were thoughtful and friendly - all in all we had a great time and wished we were staying longer than one night. We felt extremely lucky to have found the Forester, quite by chance as we were looking for somewhere in Shaftesbury but were tempted by the reviews to look further.

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.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
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.SamanthaUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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.AnneUnited Kingdom - 6.0Scored 6.0

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. 🥲CorinneUnited Kingdom

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 86 reviewsIt was home away from home, with all facilities provided. Very quiet and lovely view of the garden from the living room. Fully stocked kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, cooker/oven, washing machine plus recycling facilities. Walking distance to Gold Hill, where the 1970s Hovis advert was filmed. There is a Tesco and Lidl in town and good pub (The Mitre) with an excellent view of the countryside. A good base to explore the area.WhitehallTravellerUnited Kingdom

It’s a busy village pub but the locals are as friendly as the staff, and it was never noisy. They have a good menu and great craft beers too, plus a clean and comfortable room. The location is stunning too, and the local area has plenty to do no matter what the weather.RachelUnited Kingdom
- From € 120.26 per night7.0Scored 7.0GoodRated good· 783 reviewsBefore our stay, we requested a quiet room, and the hotel wrote back to confirm that our request had been granted. The room was, indeed, exceptionally quiet. We also found on arrival that, as it was a hot afternoon, a fan had been turned on and the window opened. The room itself was large and well appointed, and the bed was king-size and comfortable. Everything was perfectly clean.
VivienUnited Kingdom - 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 86 reviewsVery 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.CristinaUnited Kingdom
