A spacious, well equipped private annexe with garden and parking in Shaftesbury.

10/10 Excellent

"Superb apartment in a very quiet neighbourhood! Super clean and very comfortable! Highly recommend!"

Historic cottage in the heart of Shaftesbury's Saxon area - town and country.

10/10 Excellent

"Quaint cottage in an excellent location, very central in Shaftesbury. The sofa's in the living room were well worn, a little on the uncomfortable side. But the rest of the cottage was wonderful! Bedrooms were beautiful. One full bathroom with both bath and shower (which was pretty small) with a toilet tucked in behind the shower. Second toilet just outside the main bathroom was handy. Good kitchen with all the basics. There are loads of stuff within walking distance, cute shops, pubs, grocery stores, Shaftesbury Abbey and Gold Hill. Great kebab place (Marmaris) just up from it, which we all loved. Overall, a lovely place!"
