The Grosvenor Arms

Crowning Dorset’s beautiful Blackmore Vale, Shaftesbury has Old-England charm down to the last cobble, but now that the Grosvenor Arms hotel is on the scene, there’s something for the more modern-minded visitor, too.

Crowning the Blackmore Vale in Dorset, and within a couple of hours' drive of London, Shaftesbury is a great base for exploring and rambling – and the perfect pitstop en route to Cornwall.
