The room was clean and tidy with 2 x single beds, ensuite bathroom with shower. Tea/coffee, although more sugar would have been appreciated. I was late checking in, 11pm, yet the host was there to greet me on arrival. I was also early to leave in the morning so no time for breakfast served from 8am-9am. My only gripe really was the view from my window looking out into the back garden. A tidyup wouldn't go amiss but that's me being picky. Because of my flying visit, I wasn't able to to see any other facilities nearby. All in all, a nice place to rest my head overnight. I would definitely stay here again.

Very accommodating - we were only down for the night to attend a wedding. Allowed us to check in early and use the room to get ready before being picked up to attend.
Great breakfast the following morning and had a lovely chat which came with recommendations of local things to see and do before we headed home. Also allowed us to leave our car there whilst we explored the area for a bit before we left.

Two pretty grey days so didn't really see the outside of the house at the best time, but looked well kept.
Easily within walking distance of the town centre - just travelled by public transport - and the location suited well.

Great for a quick stop-over!

We had booked for 7 nights but it became apparent very quickly that, because of my husband's health issues, the room we had was not suitable and so we left after two nights. The room was small. Fine for a short stay but nowhere to sit (apart from the bed) and no wardrobe. The owners were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent with every attention to our needs and wishes.

The situation is handy if you want to be near a main road network and close to a roundabout. The fast food outlets and petrol station over the road convenient if that's what you need but not a pleasant situation.

Shaftesbury Visit

Diane & Ian were very welcoming, a great couple. They always had time for their guests and to have a chat. The accommodation was welcoming, homely, and very comfortable. We stayed 4 nights, and had a wonderful full English breaky 4 mornings, food was great and plentiful. Evening meals available if required and pre-booked, but we ate out as travelling around and visiting family. Parking, WiFi and Breaky included.
I cant fault Holbrooks B&B, wish we could have stayed longer, but our travels would not permit, the rest of the UK was calling us!
Location was good for us, travelling to Salisbury, Poole, Yeovil etc., very narrow streets as always in this part of the world.

Nice place!

Overall, a nice place to stay! We stayed in a triple and found the room clean with enough room for us and our luggage! The B&B was a little hard to find using Google Maps - it would be nice if they could include generalized directions with the confirmation. We stayed the night on our way to Stonehenge - it took us 30 min to get to Stonehenge from the B and B at 9AM on a Saturday in July.

Nous avons dû payer un supplément de 25 livres pour un couchage non utilisé. ( Nous avions toujours précisé que nous serions 3 personnes adultes.)
