“Among the Best B+B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

Warm welcome, quiet, high ceiling room with ensuite bath. A lot of cupboard space with large window to the back garden. Very comfortable queen bed and small wall mounted flat screen, facility also served by higher speed wireless on all floors. Modern upgrade to the shower and bathroom a plus. Strange that the heat only comes on a few hours a day but a portable heater provided comfort after a few hours. Breakfast was from a menu with the usual Full English and other selections such as Salmon, poached, scrambled.... Continental was minimal. A spacious elegant dining area to be experienced. Ample street parking 30 minutes walk from downtown. A large green park by the water just south. Highly recommended.

“Stuart and Noreen”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

We spent a very pleasant three nights. Martin's cooking is excellent, breakfast kept us going until dinner. Heather's front of house was very welcoming and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. We would certainly return and recommend the Shaftesbury to our friends and family.

fantastic hotel, not far from the city centre. Service was great, and with a smile, and the room was very comfy, with a bath which was appreciated .

“LIKE STAYING AT A FRIENDS HOUSE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

people found this review helpful

We arrived to a very warm welcome, with detailed information about the surrounding area.
Room very comfortable, very clean, nothing too much trouble, if you required anything. Excellent daily top of Welcome Tray and Toiletries.
Very pleasant and comfortable lounge area for guest use with original features of the building.
Computer for guest use also in lounge if you haven’t brought your own.
Snacks are also available from the hotel and I can certainly recommend the leek soup.
Bus stops into the main city are perfectly placed and frequent (Stage Coach 73, 77 bus and National Dundee 5 bus) and it isn’t that far to walk.
Main Bus Station Seagate allows you to travel around very easily and the Train station is also very handy to get to surrounding areas.
Lovely views of the Tay from the hotel.
Heather and Martin were perfect hosts and always very friendly and helpful and have a good knowledge of the surrounding area. Very hardworking hosts.
Thanks Heather and Martin for a perfect holiday, we shall definitely be returning to The Shaftesbury Hotel.
