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.

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!

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.

This place is exceptionally good value for money. Wonderful rooms, clean, spacious and well appointed. Dog friendly. The staff are incredible, the lady who welcomed us at reception couldn't do enough for us and is a great ambassador for Hall & Woodhouse. The location is great with the River Stour just a minutes walk away, lovely garden and really fascinating building.

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 🤍
