Best Western Shaftesbury The Royal Chase Hotel

We spent our honeymoon here 23 years ago. We had a lovely time and as we were in the area we returned for the first time for lunch. The hotel has obviously been updated some what and it all looks very nice. We sat in the restaurant and had a lovely lunch and reminisced. Food was really good and Kelly our waitress in the bar and restaurant, was very efficient and friendly. We will return for a weekend I think. less

Stayed 2 nights at this hotel. Was up graded to superior room when partner rang and arranged for champagne on arrival. Had breakfast which was £10 per adult free for children. Well worth it. Had evening meal in bar starter and main course. If we had known the potions sizes we large wouldn't have bothered with starters. All meals we lovely. We used the pool facilities, very clean. Staff very obliging, had to call night porter for milk for little girl all free. less

Average hotel, clean and tidy and comfortable, rooms are small, try to get a room at the back of hotel because of lack of air conditioning if you sleep with the window open you can get noise of the gravel car park with car's moving. Personally I think hotel and bar are expensive for what you're getting, it is close to town centre 10 minute walk which is ideal less

We had a ground floor family room as our booked twin was not available, probably due to a large party of Australian gardeners who were visiting the area. Decoratively the room looked a little tired but was clean and nicely furnished and we slept very well. Breakfast was excellent but best of all are the delightful staff who make you feel welcome and at home. Our daughter and son-in-law dine there frequently so that has got to recommend the kitchen too. less

A busy hotel. The car park eases after 6 . No room change on offer as it was full. I was daunted by a room overlooking the carpark and ultimately the road, but slept soundly. No air con, but the windows do open! 23, first floor= A good size room with tea and coffee making facilities and even chocolate powder and biscuits. Locked-in-time carpets! No lift , be prepared to carry your bag. Very good breakfast , lots of choice of freshly cooked food, served at a reasonable speed. Evening bar snacks not so good , and white wine was warm. Large bathroom, with a bath. Impeccably clean. less
