Warm, friendly, comfortable with excellent breakfast! Just off centre of cracking Dorset town, secure parking available across the road. Bedroom was very comfortable with lovely large shower. Breakfast in lovely dining room - fresh fruit salad, orange juice, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon and proper coffee - it doesn't get much better than this!

Number 5 Bimport is a fairly new B&B in Shaftesbury. It is just off the high street and around the corner from Gold Hill. There are 2 rooms and they are a half a floor below ground level.
