Odkryj pobyt w mieście Shaftesbury

Hotel was easy to find on the A350 just outside the town - plenty of parking close to reception. Staff friendly and helpful throughout our 2 night stop. Rooms large and airy and clean - more drawer space than I’ve ever seen. Easy walking into town centre where we enjoyed a meal at Chutney’s. Regret not checking that the hotel has a pool! Breakfast amongst the very best I’ve ever had. We had a family lunch booked in Stourpaine but after seeing the Sunday Carvery would take that on another visit Thoroughly recommend and I hope we can stay again in a stunning part of the UK

Come back with me now to a time of stately good manners and attentive service and a relaxed ambiance with well spaced tables and gleaming cutlery within the dining room to........ La Fleur de Lys. We had booked fairly late so only a small bedroom was available and whilst adequate for our one night stay I would recommend ensuring a larger room if staying longer. The en suite shower room, no doubt added subsequently was compact to say the least and someone for example of the size of Boris Johnson would have struggled to use whilst dreaming up his next flawed cabinet appointment. Good quality toiletries .Tea and coffee tray in the room well equipped plus mineral water and milk in fridge. Bedding of good quality but half way through the night I realised why I much prefer duvets to confining sheets.. The room size prevented me from starring ”excellent” at the top of this review. The main reason we booked was for the dining and we were not disappointed, Interesting dishes on the menu with local produce all well presented and enjoyable. As you might expect a super choice of wines, good range by the glass and more half bottles than usual. Breakfast was promptly served and good quality ingredients. The car park is small but the most pleasant owners are well versed in its operation so can move cars around so you can extricate your car on departure without problem; the driveway is narrow and you need to approach from the far side of the road on arrival. Definitely a venue for those who prefer independent and individual to corporate hospitality, certainly not inexpensive but worth seeking out for a special occasion.
