Review 2：Friendly people. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
Review 3：Nothing to complain about.
Review 4：Clean, fresh and comfortable rooms with tea and coffee facilities. This is a well, and newly, refurbished B&B. The breakfast was very good and the hosts are lovely, welcoming and very helpful with information on the area.
Review 5：Michael and Sally, along with their dog Monty, provided a wonderful welcome. Lovely room and the bathroom was stunning. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Scrumptious breakfast. Thank you!:)
Review 6：The greeting we received from the proprietor when we arrived and the attention from him and his wife throughout our two-day stay was more than praiseworthy. This couple and their establishment had service, friendliness and a commitment to ensure that your time with them was a joyful experience in abundance. The bedrooms were ultra-clean and comfortable, the premises homely and welcoming and the breakfasts to die for. Ten-out-of-ten all round.
Review 7：We enjoyed staying at this beautiful residence. We were made very welcome by our hosts, our room was lovely and we were recommended a very good restaurant. Breakfast was excellent and we would definitely stay again if we were visiting Shaftesbury.

Review 14：Na
Review 15：Three Ivy Cross is a beautifully decorated, homely family run B and B. The owners have paid gret attention to detail, make you feel extremely welcome and it is a wonderfully comfortable stay. We only wish we had stayed for longer. It is definately great value for money. The rooms are well furnished and the breakfast was fantastic. We are planning to stay again in the future.
Review 16：It was nice to be able to have access to the beautiful garden especially as it was a lovely sunny day. There was also a nice lounge area to use if you wanted.
Review 17：Very warm-hearted welcome. You feel like in a family. Wonderful garden. Great hosts. All thumbs up! Thank you for a really nice stay. Besides this - near to the city and a simply cosy and sweet house.
Review 18：There is nothing not to like.
Review 19：Very friendly hosts, we were made to feel very welcome. Lovely breakfast which puts some of the larger hotels to shame. The rooms were modern and beautifully decorated.
Review 20：Nothing.
Review 21：We have visited accommodation throughout the UK for many years and these days find that the standard is generally very good. However, during this time we have found two properties that are truly exceptional and one of these is Three Ivy Cross. From the moment we arrived everything was perfect: easy parking, a warm welcome and the standard of decorating and facilities was faultless. Mike, the owner, is a chef and this was evident in the high standard of the breakfast and he'll even provide an evening meal if requested. Guests are welcome to enjoy the garden/patio area in good weather and Three Ivy cross is within easy walking distance of Shaftesbury with it's restaurants and views. To sum up I would say that Three Ivy Cross offers accommodation more than equal to the standard of a high quality hotel but with the friendly personality and cost of a good B&B; we booked our next stay immediately!
Review 22：Position of the TV! Needs to go across the corner by the kettle. Got a crick watching it in the side wall
Review 23：Probably the best B and B we have stayed in. Very tasteful and superb breakfast . Hosts utterly charming

Review 25：Sally and Mike were great hosts, bed was very comfortable, room decor simply gorgeous and bathroom very clean. Food was plentiful and delicious. Trying to find an excuse to stay again!
Review 26：Nothing we didn't like - we'd happily stay here again.
Review 27：Very welcoming, lovely comfortable room, fabulous bed, powerful shower. Plus lots of little things that so many hotels and B&Bs miss, like having a socket near a mirror so you can see to dry your hair, and a number of decent hangers in the wardrobe! Fresh milk in room for tea was very welcome and the breakfast was wonderful with a choice of really fresh ingredients all cooked to order.
Review 28：It is near the center of Shaftesbury but on an extremely busy roundabout facing a petrol station.
Review 29：My room and bathroom were excellent. Furniture very comfortable and attractive. Windows provided very good sound insulation - necessary with the heavy traffic outside.The lounge is a big plus. Mike and Sally very good hosts. Excellent breakfast.
Review 30：Excellent bathroom but could not remove shower lead from bar.
Review 31：Very friendly and helpful. House very clean, comfortable, excellent breakfast and lovely garden. Surprisingly close to town - easy walking once across large roundabout.
Review 32：An excellent bed and breakfast within walking distance for Shaftsbury town center.Room was very nice, run by a very nice couple. As mentioned on many reviews the breakfast is excellent, using locally sourced produce. Ample car parking, Shaftsbury is convenient for many tourist attractions, Bournemouth is only half an hours drive away.
Review 33：Parking on site, well appointed lounge, lovely patio and garden plus a fan in the bedroom which was very welcome on a hot day.

Review 59：Beautiful room in a lovely house. Everything was new and clean, with complimentary water (still and sparkling), shortbreads, tea and coffee facility in the room. Superb breakfast cooked by host Mike, which was, not only delicious but also abundant (enough to make us skip lunch)! Off street parking available on site and only a short walk from town (about 5-10 mins walk to Gold Hill). Recommended!
Review 60：Due to unforeseen circumstances the host had to go elsewhere on the morning of our stay. However his colleague kindly stepped in and we had a very enjoyable breakfast with efficient service and variety.
Review 61：The owners of the B&B were helpful from the start and gave us a really warm welcome. There's a big garden out back that guests are free to use, though because we were only staying for one night we didn't have time! The bed was incredibly comfy and the breakfast was delicious!! You could choose cereals and fresh fruit followed by continental or english. Locally sourced sausage and bacon were amazing. If we're ever back that way we'd definitely stay again.
