A comfortable and well-appointed modern cottage, ideally located for access to Shaftesbury's facilities and exploring the surrounding area. However, we were disconcerted that the check-in details were provided only a short time before our scheduled arrival time. We had some difficulty accessing the Vrbo portal to view the owner's messages. In other properties we have rented, check-in details have always been provided well beforehand.

Another great stay at Easter Cottage.
This was our fourth stay at the cottage and the one thing I can say that we really like is consistency. It is always clean, welcoming and a bit of an oasis in the centre of Shaftesbury. We had a rental car and use of a parking space cannot be overstated in the town. The cottage is cozy and everything works! Its location is also great for the various restaurants and walks around town.There are a couple of new eateries that we tried since our last visit in November 2023. The Kings Arms has opened as a gastro pub and was very good. Although around for many years, we also had a very enjoyable meal with friends at the Italian San Tonino, especially interesting if you like going through a graveyard to get to a restaurant! We also visit Aroma at least once every trip.Thanks for Nicky for her hospitality and we are already looking forward to our next visit, hopefully in 2026.

This was so close to where we needed to be and was immaculately clean and comfortable with everything we could possibly need.

Great little town house
Lovely little house right in the centre of Shaftesbury near shops and cafes, with its own parking space. It had everything we needed, was very clean and Nicky was great at communicating. Will definitely book again.
