The Grosvenor Arms

Lovely characterful inn with beautifully...

Liked: We didn't have breakfast.

Good

Liked: The location, the staff, the decor and ambience
Disliked: Dark bedroom with not enough lighting. Being charged £20 for Porridge, 2 slices of toast and a cappuccino. It didn't matter what you ordered from the menu if you had a coffee the charge was £20. Bizarre. For that reason didn't eat there on the 2nd morning.

Superb

Very good

Liked: Great staff very friendly and helpful. Very stylish hotel breakfast was very good. Location in town perfect for exploring
Disliked: No parking but long stay around the corner not far

A short but enjoyable stay...

Liked: We didn’t have breakfast or dinner so can’t comment. Room well equipped and location in town was excellent.
Disliked: The patio area was disappointing. An old rusty table with basic chairs plus you were overlooked by other rooms. It had a tired feel and was uninviting.Plus the patio doors need a net curtain for privacy.

Liked: Excellent all round
Disliked: Nothing

The best stay in Shaftesbury....

Liked: charming property of historic interest and beautifully upgraded to make a modern hotel. Lovely spaces to sit, eat, drink, chat were very appreciated, especially the indoor courtyard in the open air. Staff were ever ready to accommodate requests. Our rooms, both suites, were spacious and with super comfy beds, roomy bathing facilities including stand alone bath. We didn't eat breakfast but ate dinner in the hotel restaurant both nights as it was absolutely delicious. The sesame panko aubergine was noteworthy, so tasty I had it both times. Location was perfection, close to the market, the Abbey, the view from the Park walk, high street, the Gold Hill and museum.
Disliked: Nothing really.
