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. In spite of this there is very good light coming into the rooms. The house is Georgian and well appointed both inside... More

What a wonderful find! We were traveling through England & needed a place to stay. The tourist office had a listing of local places. Checking out Number 5 Bimport, we decided to retire there. Such wonderful hosts Kate & Trevor Toms are. Our stay turned into two nights & we really enjoyed it. Lovely room with an exit to the... More

What a smashing B&B. We had accomodation booked for a friend's wedding near Shaftesbury which fell through, leading me to give Number 5 a call. I'm so glad it did - the property is very impressive and the hospitality was warm and welcoming. We had a large room downstairs with a capacious and comfortable king-size bed. The en suite was...

This is a delightful well maintained period property in the town. The proprietors, Trevor and Kate are a lovely relaxed couple who are perfect hosts. Our room was in the basement with french doors that gave access to the garden. Everything about the room was great and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was high quality. We would return again.

We had a brief but refreshing stay at No.5. Traveling is always exhausting but the friendly welcome we received and our comfortable experience was certainly appreciated. Every attention to detail had been considered, super quality beds, bed linen, towels, decor, even down to the mugs and glasses in the room were superior, a real treat and very unexpected. We were...

Fantastic find, my partner stayed here a few weeks ago visiting family, and said we would have to go back there to stay here as a couple, so this weekend (july 3 2012) presented the perfect opportunity. Well the place is fantastic, right in the centre of town yet lovely and quiet. The house was decorated beautifully. The rooms are... More
