Waking up to the dawn chorus, The Forester is deep in the country with good walks on the doorstep. The room was large and well-appointed, the bathroom had soap - a rare bonus.

Fabulous Cottage-we stayed at the Crown cottage (2 bedroom house)! The host ensured we had all the help we needed promptly. We had a great time, the place is right in the middle, 2 mins to the magnificent Gold Hill (you cannot miss) and 10 mins to Castle Hill. If in Shaftesbury, do not miss this place!

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.

- From £100 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 297 reviewsThe 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
NatalieUnited Kingdom - 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 320 reviewsWe 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.
