Crown Hotel

Lovely place to stay. Only downside was the breakfast. We both had eggs benedict. Poached eggs were overcooked and the muffins were dry and were not good quality.

Great staff. The room just needs a bit of updating

Helpful staff. Lovely room (some have air conditioning). Free parking. Good location.

Only stayed for one night but it was all excellent, thank you.

The staff could not have been more helpful. We arrived 10 minutes before the kitchen closed but they realised we had just risen 105 miles and kept the kitchen open while we showered. The food was delicious and the bar staff ensured we re-hydrated, with beer and gin. Great work all round

Good all-round option, from easy parking and a welcoming atmosphere to good food and drink options. Lovely outdoor seating area, and close to a pretty river and park.

We enjoyed our stay at the Crown the staff were helpful and friendly the food was good and the location was ideal, however the hotel is in need of refurbishment

Super helpful and friendly staff

The hotel is an old Georgian building and therefore reflected in the rooms and amenities. Lots of character and charm. However, this means no aircon and old fashioned door locks etc. They provide a fan but our room was still too warm. We stayed in April so the summer months could be tricky. The bed was very comfortable and the shower room was well stocked. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion and lovely fluffy towels. Lots of tea and coffee. Coffee was high quality bags and not the nasty Nescafé granules you usually get. Lovely biscuits too. For breakfast I had a chocolate croissant which was great followed by a full English. Unfortunately this was a bit disappointing. Sausage tasted cheap and the bacon was streaky and not back which was quite tough. No black pudding and only one hash brown. Toast was described as whole meal but was just plain brown. We had lunch sat outside in the sun which was very nice. I can recommend the fish finger sandwich. Beer is excellent and the staff were super helpful and working incredibly hard.

All the staff were welcoming and friendly and are a credit to the hotel. They loved our dog too - Toby who was rewarded with a welcome box and treats during our stay - even giving a sausage at breakfast. We can’t thank the staff enough, when we realised that my husband had left his wallet in the bedroom. The reception team contacted us and went above and beyond to send his wallet back!m. Both the housekeeper’s and receptionist are exceptional! The room was lovely with great pillows and mattress - something that’s very important to me and you don’t always get it from a hotel stay. The hotel is in a great location, next to the river and with lovely outdoor seating and a car park too! It’s great that you have a car park This was our first time visiting Blandford Forum as we our considering our next move and Blandford Forum is at the top of our list.

Breakfast menue good. Staff polite and helpful.

Unfortunately the family room was right above the main bar so very noisy until after 11am

The room was spotless, I don't think I've ever slept in a more comfortable bed, in fact I will be buying some of the pillows. We didn't eat so can't comment on food but we had a great stay and will definitely go back

Friendly staff. Nice aesthetic.

Excellent breakfast, both in quality and choice. Amazing pastries! Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was fairly small (comfort double) but clean and comfortable. Also wonderfully quiet.

Amazing property, friendly staff and magnificently decorated and very well equipped rooms. The food is great too!

Great location and nice comfy well equipped rooms, great bar and restaurant. Parking ideal.

Wonderful!

Staff friendly, room nice and clean, lovely atmosphere… slept well!

Lovely room!
