Stayed there for our first night in Scotland in mid-September 2011. Hosts were very friendly, very eager to assist in any way. Location was a pleasant, short walk away from restaurants and pubs. Our room was spacious, comfortable, clean, en suite, overlooking the back garden. The hotel was quiet, and felt very secure. As Americans, we were confused by the... More

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... More

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. More

We arrived in Dundee with no accommodation booked and this was a bad idea as womens golf open on at Carnoustie! No availability at the usual suspects of chain hotels so we grabbed a Perth & Angus booklet from Tourist Info - managed to get a room at the Shaftesbury - the best in the house and to be recommended!...

We originally booked for one night as we were traveling on to friends the next day but decided to stay an extra night here. Nice homely feel to this hotel, a good wide choice for breakfast. Heather and Martin are very friendly and helpful owners. Easy walking distance into Dundee itself. Situated in a peaceful part of Dundee. More

Stayed at the hotel this past weekend. Arrived to a very friendly welcome and plenty of parking around the side of the hotel, always good. Taken up to our room which was clean and tidy. Quite basic, older looking dated furniture and a very small room. Very disappointed to find that our bathroom did not have a shower, simply a... More
