Ryecross Farm Cottage, Shaftesbury

Shaftesbury

"This was a lovely bolt hole in the country and an ideal location for visiting wonderful local landmarks. The cottage was well equipped and nicely presented with a welcoming box of biscuits on arrival. Very quiet with tranquil views. The owners were over the driveway and extremely friendly. Salisbury, Glastonbury, Sherborne and the like were within easy reach as was Poole on the coast. An ideal spot and perfect for that relaxing getaway."

Top Shaftesbury Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Spotlessly clean room, comfortable with air conditioning which was lovely on the hot day we arrived . Breakfast excellent, cooked to perfection."

Holiday Inn Salisbury - Stonehenge by IHG

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff. Excellent food offering. Good location. A shame about my shower control falling apart and an extractor unit that looked as though it had seen better days. In the heat, the air conditioning in the room was excellent and very welcome. It would have been nice if it had operated throughout the hotel. I will be happy to stay there again"

George Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was really nice and clean the staff was amazing friendly and professional. The rooms was clean but the only criticism was the room I had booked was classified as a cosy double room but it wasn’t. it was a single room and not big enough for 2 people. Only because a double bed was in the room doesn’t mean it can be classed as a double room. So if you was a single traveller it would be perfect. The food was nice but a little expensive and it didn’t serve pub grub it seems more gastro food. Apart from that we had a fantastic time. Thank you to all staff at the hotel 🙌"
