The room, large and clean with comfortable bed, nice clean bathroom. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was good, breakfast cooked to order and lots of choice. The location of the Hotel is great for Shaftesbury town, a 12 minute walk takes you to the centre. We really liked it. We didn’t use the pool but it looks nice, although it seemed to be constantly used by locals mainly. Overall very happy

Everything in the hotel took me back to my younger days and set us off a reminiscing about the 1990's. There are some nods to the 21st century but luckily they don't get in the way. The only downside is that the bathroom could have used some black mould remover in places. If you're looking for a class of 1997 reunion venue I would highly recommend this hotel.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bar and restaurant let this place down. The bar is spartan, like a school 1950s canteen, and had a filthy main glass table with ripped 2 year old "Good housekeeping" magazines laying on top....there's a misnomer. My room was spotlessly clean and bed very comfortable. Ate in the restaurant on my first night as it was bitterly cold and freezing outside, so didn't fancy going out. There was no heating on in the restaurant, when i asked why I was told it was on a timer. Ridiculous!

The hotel was a little tired but clean, comfy bed and good shower so key point were catered for. Also a good selection and quality breakfast The hotel desperately needs some illumination outside, it looks closed from the main road and the inroad and carparks are not lit at all, it must loose trade because of this if it wasn't for the satnav I would of passed it several times before seeing it.

A very pleasant stay at The Royal Chase Hotel Shaftesbury which was ideal for meeting up with family and friends in the area. All the staff were very obliging and helpful and we made good use of the swimming pool. Many thanks again.

The reception staff were lovely. The man who welcomed us on arrival was particularly helpful and cheerful. The lady on reception was very helpful too…especially dealing with a slightly awkward situation with a man who thought he had left belongings in our room! The hotel itself is a bit ‘tired’ and could do with a bit of an upgrade. But, saying that, our room was clean and tidy and the king size bed was very comfortable in the ‘double room’ we booked. We used the swimming pool and sauna which was an added bonus. Again, the area was a bit ‘tired’ but we enjoyed it. We decided to use the shower in our room as the ones in the changing rooms smelt a bit. The food from the restaurant we had was particularly nice and so was the cooked breakfast. There was a really good choice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
