Top Shaftesbury Hotel Reviews

George Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great stay friendly staff good breakfast "

The Merchant's House, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Great location in the heart of Salisbury. An historic old inn where you could stay in the room which Lord Nelson once stayed in. Full buffet breakfast with eggs cooked to order, disappointed y the fact that they only offer drip coffee. No mini bar in the rooms, only body wash was supplied in the way of toiletries and no complimentary water in the rooms meant only 3.5 rating. "

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were faultless, and paid much attention to my border collie (not surprising: that always happens.) The room was too hot and there were a lot of strange stains on the walls. Very weird. The rooms were good otherwise. Bathroom very stylish and functional. Bed= comfortable. Good thread count on the linen. Biscuits good. Coffee undrinksble. I’d stay again, but I’d bring my aeropress. And I’d try not to look at the walls. "

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Poole

4/10 Poor

"We stayed at Hotel Du Vin in Poole as a treat for my birthday and were hoping for a special experience. The location is great and it was a nice touch that they left two small truffles chocolates in the room for my birthday. However, there were a few disappointing things. The bath still had cleaning product left on it when we arrived, so we had to wait for this to be sorted. We also didn’t sleep well as the pillows went flat quickly and the bed was very firm. The room menu mentioned fresh milk in the fridge, but this apparently stopped after Covid and instead there were small long-life milk pots, which felt a bit underwhelming. Breakfast was also disappointing – the poached eggs were very slimy and no one checked on us during the meal. This isn't the service I'd expect for £24 for breakfast each. When checking out I mentioned everything had only been “fine”, but this didn’t seem to be picked up on by the receptionist. Overall, a lovely location but not quite the experience we expected for a birthday treat."
