Excellent accommodation in a good location
A very comfortable, cosy property with everything we needed. An ideal location for our weekend break in Dorset, and only a short walk into the middle of Shaftesbury. Our dog enjoyed the cottage and the area too - plenty of dog-friendly pubs and shops locally. Thank you, Caroline, for the relaxing stay in your cottage and for the warm welcome!

Lovely short break
Myself, my partner and our dog Oscar had a most enjoyable stay at The Music Room. What a lovely property this is, with everything that you need for a relaxing break. The owners Caroline & Roddy are most welcoming and couldn't be more helpful. Shaftesbury is a great place for a visit, with lots of history, lovely walks and great public houses. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future!

Comfort away from home!
Lovely cottage located close to Gold Hill and a local must The Salt Cellar! This cottage is warm and comfy with all the amenities of home. Traveling from far away there was nothing that we didn't have in this cozy living space. The hospitality of Caroline and Roddy was warm and welcoming absolutely top-notch.

Secluded hide away perfect for privacy and relaxing
Tucked away off the access road provides a perfect retreat to relax and unwind. The layout gave sufficient space to cook, eat, rest and relax although we did bump our heads a couple of times in the bedroom. The location is perfect for access to Gold Hill, The Salt Cellar (for an excellent breakfast and views) plus a couple of minutes walk from there to an excellent place for drinks, food and more views - The Mitre. The local Tesco is only a few minutes drive to stock up on essentials. Overall we had a peaceful, battery recharging 4 days. The hosts, while not there at the time made sure their house sitters looked after our needs - which only amounted to the use of their freezer. Would I recommend this to others - YES. Would I come back? Oh yes…

Perfect bolt hole
The Music Room was exactly as described. There are two lovely sitting areas outside with BBQ, a comfy sofa inside with lots of different lighting options. The hosts were available for introduction and information but otherwise unobtrusive.

Peaceful cozy break
Beautiful and accurate listing for the property within walking distance to local sights recommended by our host. Amazingly peaceful at all hours of the day and the terrace was a little sun trap even in October.
