Excellent annexe, clean and well equipped. Comfortable with everything required for a good stay. Nice quiet location, only 15 mins walk from town centre.
We loved our stay at Chris & Rob's beautiful annexe. It is so welcoming and well equipped - everything we needed for our stay. It is in a great location too - we walked into Shaftesbury a number of times for coffee and meals, and is an easy drive to many walks and other attractions. We would recommend it for a stay.
This was a perfect place to stay, just a few minutes' walk from the centre of Shaftesbury. The hosts had thought of everything to make the accommodation a real home-from-home. We could not have wished for more.
My son and I stayed in this beautiful two-storey annexe while visiting family in the area. Very modern, extremely clean and outfitted with everything we needed to make our short stay very comfortable. And just a short walk from Shaftesbury High Street and the abbey ruins and a good spot from which to explore other attractions in the area. Our host was very communicative and gracious.
We spent 4 nights here and couldn't have been happier. The property is ideal for a stay like ours and we would return again. It is well located in Shaftesbury off the main street but close to the town centre. The hosts live in the attached house and are both accessible and friendly. The place has all required utensils all of a high quality. Cleanliness was exceptional.
Perfect little annexe for me. Quiet, comfortable and convenient. Kitchen well equipped. Privacy respected at all times. Location perfect for visiting my elderly mother 5 mins walk away. Close to local Shaftesbury and shops.
We were visiting the Great Dorset Steam Fair and this was a reasonable 30 mins away from the site. It gave us the flexibility to visit the town of Shaftesbury as well.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the location was quiet. Good provision of some essentials like milk and a bottle of wine!
Thank you!
