When we last stayed with you in passing we were told that you were gradually decorating and refurnishing the hotel. It's quiet obvious that his has been carried out, and well done. We loved our room which was a lot more spacious than some. Lovely decor too.

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

The Annex is warm, comfortable and a delight to spend time in. Quality materials, cleanliness and thoughtful content ensure that your visit is perfect.
