The Crown is an absolute gem and a must-visit for us whenever we’re in Blandford with family. Every time we step through the door, we’re greeted by a warm, enchanting atmosphere that feels like home. The hilarious quotes on the walls always get a laugh, and the cozy ambiance just draws you in – especially when there’s a crackling fireplace and a glass of wine waiting for you. On our most recent visit, we indulged in their Sunday roast, and it was incredible. Generous portions, perfectly cooked, and so delicious that we left feeling completely satisfied (and maybe a little too full!). Paired with a lovely bottle of wine, it was the perfect way to spend a relaxed afternoon. The staff here truly elevate the experience. They’re nimble, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile – even on a busy day. It’s this combination of great food, impeccable service, and charming atmosphere that keeps us coming back. We absolutely love The Crown and can’t recommend it enough. It’s become a cherished part of our visits, and we’re already looking forward to our next roast by the fire!

A very nice hotel. The rooms had lots of charm with antiques adding to the atmosphere. In particular, the breakfast was lovely and had many things to choose from. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

Every single member of the team at The Crown Blandford have gone out of their way to accommodate our large family group. The food has been exceptional as are the rooms which are beautiful and spotless. The food at every meal has been amazing. At dinner, every single plate for our large group came out at the same time and was piping hot and delicious. We were well looked after and checked in on regularly. The welcome is warm and friendly and every part of our requests were accommodated including providing an accessible room for a family member needing a lift and a room with support. Reception did a great job of coordinating our group and helping with all of our requests. The bar staff also did really well to help us as we ordered drinks throughout the day. Thank you so much to everyone at The Crown ! We are very grateful and can’t wait to bring our family group back to see you !

Me and my husband got married here in April and it was honestly the most perfect day we could have possibly imagined! Laura (best wedding planner ever) went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect, nothing was too much to ask. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue 🤍

My wife and I booked for one night's stay at the Crown Hotel recently, as it looked very nice and the price was more competitive than other hotels within this region. It's a beautifully maintained Georgian building in nice location, offering us easy access to numerous locations we wanted to visit in Dorset. We needed a second night's stay added, which was sorted out very easily and all prices, including our breakfast were clarified at reception. The staff were all pleasantly professional and the food choice was very good and of high quality. The room was clean, with a touch of character in line with age of building and had everything to make our stay comfortable. We were disturbed on second night by another guest's barking dog, although this was brief. Parking space is abundant and easy to access. There's also a very big beer garden outside hotel, which looked a popular feature in the sunny weather. Overall, generally pleased with our stay at the Crown and would recommend to others.
