The Experience

You’re surrounded by flawless country, with Cranborne Chase rolling south. By day you go in search of sweeping vistas, ancient woodlands, the odd prehistoric hillfort. By night you return to this cool inn to make merry. The sitting-room bar doubles as a café and acts as the hub of the inn; it’s open all day and buzzes with local life, so sink into a sofa, grab the daily papers and while away the afternoon.

Elsewhere, there’s an airy restaurant for wood-fired pizzas and local steaks, then a conservatory that opens onto a courtyard. Bedrooms upstairs are just the ticket: none are small, some are huge, all have warm colours, big beds and sparkling bathrooms. One opens onto a balcony, one suite comes with a chaise longue, the other has a claw-foot bath in the room; all have coffee machines, flat-screen TVs and posh oils.

Wake to a smashing breakfast – the full Grosvenor or a veggie option, farm eggs with smoked salmon or avocado.

Reviews

My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous two night stay here. Excellent location, superb food and drink- and the best part being the warm and friendly staff. Highly recommended for a visit to this beautiful area and its many country walks.

Location

The neighbourhood

Shaftesbury, an ancient country seat, has seen its fair share of history. In 888 King Alfred founded an abbey here; in 1035 King Canute died within its walls. It is surrounded by flawless country, with Cranborne Chase rolling south. Here you can visit Gold Hill (made famous by the Hovis advert), the Abbey and Gardens and lots of independent shops including Shaftesbury Deli on the high street.

Local points of interest from Rob & Camille Greacen

  • Shaftesbury is a thriving market town with a fascinating history rooted in Saxon times. It has plenty of inns, cafes and restaurants, and there are lots of independent boutiques and shops to explore.
  • The famous Gold Hill, made more famous by Ridley Scott’s memorable Hovis commercial, is 100m away with stunning views across Blackmore Vale. Wander around the museum at the old Saxon hill top fort, the Abbey from King Alfred’s day, and the farmers market
  • Shaftesbury, is known as ‘the gateway to the south west’, and is well positioned in the most stunning of English countryside. It lies on the edge of the once vast hunting grounds of Cranborne Chase.
  • Old chalk downland and ancient woods make for some wonderful walking and riding. The magnificent houses of Wilton, Longleat, Sherborne Castle, Stourhead and Kingston Lacy are between 20 to 30 minutes away.
  • Within an hour’s radius there is the World Heritage City of Bath to the north, Salisbury (Salisbury Cathedral), Old Wardour Castle and Stonehenge to the east, Lulworth Cove to the south and Sherborne to the west.
  • Please speak to our manager if you would like any help in planning your trip. There are so many opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring, and for those inclined, fishing, riding and shooting. All in close proximity.
