Independent shops, great pubs and restaurants, and amazing walks - The famous Gold Hill with views of the Blackmore Vale is a 3 minute level stroll from the house.

It had everything we needed, was very clean and Nicky was great at communicating. Will definitely book again. ##### Kate O. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris T. 15 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Another great stay at Easter Cottage. This was our fourth stay at the cottage and the one thing I can say that we really like is consistency. It is always clean, welcoming and a bit of an oasis in the centre of Shaftesbury. We had a rental car and use of a parking space cannot be overstated in the town. The cottage is cozy and everything works! Its location is also great for the various restaurants and walks around town.There are a couple of new eateries that we tried since our last visit in November 2023\. The Kings Arms has opened as a gastro pub and was very good. Although around for many years, we also had a very enjoyable meal with friends at the Italian San Tonino, especially interesting if you like going through a graveyard to get to a restaurant! We also visit Aroma at least once every trip.Thanks for Nicky for her hospitality and we are already looking forward to our next visit, hopefully in 2026\. ##### Chris T.

Had all you needed for a weeks stay. Bed very comfy.Only few minutes walk from centre of Shaftsbury with lovely shops and Gold Hill.Parking space. ##### Carolyn L. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart M. 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in A comfortable and well-appointed modern cottage, ideally located for access to Shaftesbury's facilities and exploring the surrounding area. However, we were disconcerted that the check-in details were provided only a short time before our scheduled arrival time. We had some difficulty accessing the Vrbo portal to view the owner's messages. In other properties we have rented, check-in details have always been provided well beforehand. ##### Stuart M.
