Hotel Details
Royal Chase Roundabout, Shaftesbury, England SP7 8DB Great Britain

Hotel Overview

High on a greensand hill above the Blackmore Vale, the Best Western Shaftesbury The Royal Chase Hotel keeps a country retreat in its own grounds on the edge of Shaftesbury, England, a former Georgian monastery that carries its centuries lightly. The setting looks out a long way over Thomas Hardy country, a quiet hold on the edge of the old town.

Inside there is an indoor pool and a sauna for grey afternoons, the Byzant Restaurant for dinner, and the Country Bar for a quiet drink by the fire, with comfortable bedrooms in a calm country setting. The cobbled drop of Gold Hill is a short walk into town, and the vale opens out below. Salisbury and Stonehenge lie a short drive east, with Sherborne and its abbey close to the west and Cranborne Chase rolling away beyond. Walk down to the foot of Gold Hill early, before the day-trippers, for the view that put the town on every postcard. Book your stay at the Best Western Shaftesbury The Royal Chase Hotel and let the hilltop and the vale set the pace.
