Top Shaftesbury Hotel Reviews

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Poole

10/10 Excellent

"Great room with roll top bath and balcony really made love stay. Very clean and comfortable. Great to be able to peel at the property. Staff very helpful. Lovely ambience."

The Thatched Cottage Inn

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay here. Delightful quaint hotel with lovely ancient rooms full of character. Owners were very helpful and let us pick up the room keys early since we were attending a local festival. However, we had to ring them to confirm this since no comms whatsoever through the hotel.Com messaging service despite multiple attempts.. Also Hotel.Com stated that a full English breakfast was included in the rate but only continental breakfast was offered by the hotel. This is unacceptable and needs sorting out soonest by Hotel.Com so guests are not misled. However, overall we enjoyed our night at the thatched cottage inn and would stay again."

St Leonard's Hotel by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"The room is fine, although the tv didn't work but we never remembered to tell the staff. breakfast was a disappointment as although the room suggests an orderable, made to order menu, it was buffet style each morning. still it was the best option in the area so would book again."

Best Western Shaftesbury The Royal Chase Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I liked everything about this hotel. The room was spacious and as well as having loads of cupboard and drawer space it had two armchairs (a rarity these days, in my experience), hair dryer, ironing board and iron. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also a good size with plenty of shelf space for spreading out toiletries, good lighting for shaving, and (also a rarity) simple basin taps that did not require lengthy experimentation to work out how to get hot water. The shower was also very satisfactory. I liked the fact that the room was thoroughly serviced during the day including replenishing the biscuits :) On my first morning I had the continental breakfast including croissants that were most acceptable, and I appreciated the fact that the cold cabinet offered various non-dairy milk options. On the second morning I tried the cooked breakfast and found that excellent. The swimming pool is a reasonable size, perfectly good for putting in a few lengths for exercise. The hotel's decor might be too plain for some people's taste but the establishment is well-maintained and managed, and all the staff are friendly and helpful. There was plenty of parking, much of it under shade trees (thankfully, because the weather was sunny and hot). I was attending the fringe festival in the town and delighted to find that the walk into the centre was only 15 minutes on a quiet road so I was spared the hassle of finding parking. All in all a great experience. I'll be back."

George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great, and very well (recently) refurbished Coaching Inn, right in the heart of Frome, with a fab breakfast and helpful friendly staff as well. Having stayed in a few "brewery chain" old coaching inns recently where the "updating" seems to involve only a coat of paint and a new shelf in the bathroom, it was very welcome to find that the rooms (anbd bathrooms) at the George have been completely and professionally re-done to "you'd be very pleased if this was your own house" standard. Can't fault it at all."
