A warm welcome awaits you at The Chalet. Doug and Anne took over running The Chaelt in May 2010 and enjoy meeting people from all parts of the world. The Chalet is 7years old and was designed as a B & B to accommodate guests. We have 3 en suite rooms, all equipped with everything you should need.

Breakfasts can be 4courses that will set you up for the day. We have many guests that return year after year and we should like you to join them. Shaftesbury is a delightful town which has its own small museum and abbey remains, we are the highest town in Dorset having wonderful views across Cranborne Chase and Blackmore Vale.

Dorset is one of the most beautiful counties in the UK with fabulous countryside and great walking areas It has also been declared a World Heritage Site along its south coast from Swanage to Lyme Regis.

Studland Bay has the most wonderful beaches and nature reserve and is near to Corfe Castle, a very quaint village. You can catch the Steam Train to Swanage from here and return to pick up your car. There are many old villages in Dorset well worth a visit, most of them with a Pub.

This is Thomas Hardy Country, you can visit his house and enjoy the surrounding country side. Nearby we have a small Airfield where you can take to the air for a wonderful flight across Dorset. We can book this in advance for you, as one of the pilots is a friend of ours. They also have a restaurant at the airfield. For the gentlemen there are 2 golf courses just a few miles away and for the ladies some interesting shops in town, as well as lovely gardens a short drive away.
