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!"

10/10 Excellent

"Everything matched expectations. The Music Room is a delightful getaway within easy reach of town, yet quiet and comfortable."

Charming Cottage Sleeps 4 with Sauna

10/10 Excellent

"Delightful little cosy cottage with all the amenities we required. Very central to the middle of Shaftesbury. As the TV does not stream live programmes, remember to bring you log in details for Netflix, iPlayer etc. The description erroneously states that there is parking but the hosts are arranging for this to be removed, however you can park for free at Barton Hill car park which is only a four minute walk away. Overall very happy with our long weekend break and would rent again when back in Shaftesbury."

3 bedroom accommodation in Shaftesbury

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful cottage, in a quiet road but just round the corner to the center of Shaftesbury. Hope to come back in the near future."
