What a fantastic evening at The Three King's last night! The food was amazing, freshly cooked to order, succulent meat, char grilled veg and a banging home made hot sauce. The owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming and chatted with us which made the evening all the more enjoyable. Great value for money and somewhere we will definitely return too.

We just had breakfast on a rainy Saturday morning. The service was excellent, prompt and accommodating. But the food! The kings breakfast was huge, delicious and fantastic quality. Eggs royal had plenty of salmon and perfectly poached eggs. Would definitely recommend!
Rating: 5 / 5
We went here with our dog for breakfast and were very impressed. We have an eggs royal and the veggie breakfast, both if which were generous and delicious for the price. Really good to have a great veggie breakfast where so many places just do meat and vegan now! Very welcoming and busy / nice bustle on a Saturday morning. Will be back 👍🏼

We stopped for some quick lunch and had jacket potato and avacado on toast. The owner/manager was great and a special thanks to him for remembering my hat!

We stayed in one of the feature rooms. Beautiful and roomy. The shower was a bit temperamental but wasn’t a problem. Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The food was of a very high standard (breakfast and evening meals). And the staff were exceptional. We would highly recommend staying here in a very beautiful part of the world.

On a rainy , windy day we were made to feel most welcome. The rooms were comfortable , clean and well appointed, with everything you needed and more. Lovely biscuits and fresh milk to accompany teas, coffee etc. The evening meal was excellent with all round fresh ingredients; the pie was sensational. An ideal place from which to explore Dorset and beyond. I can highly recommend it.

A previous frequent and regular stop for us on our way West. Now returned after a few years since moving to Dorset. We love the location and the ambience hasn't changed at all. A hearty and friendly welcome by Tim, but entirely appropriate and not overfriendly. Excellent and a credit to the pub. Served by Shannon who was equally superb and dealt with our difficult friends very well indeed. We will definitely return soon, but on our own........... Thank you for an excellent lunch and superb service.

This is my second stay and have to say it’s my favourite in the area. The staff are all very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The rooms are tastefully decorated, very clean and very comfortable beds. Room have tea and coffee facilities with home made biscuits and water included. The food is excellent! A great menu and wine list. The bar area has a lovely atmosphere with friendly locals. Breakfast is also excellent. Looking to book my next two visits already! Thanks for a great stay!

This was such a lovey visit on New Years Eve late afternoon. The service was exemplary by all and the food we ordered was delicious especially the lobster prawn linguine. We will certainly not leave it too long before our next visit. Five stars all round!

First time coming here, pretty impressed. I had sweet and sour chicken and chips which was lovely although not many chips for the price. My partner had chicken curry and chicken fried rice, absolutely delicious. My son loves the vegetable spring rolls. 9/10

After messing up my initial booking, silly mistake, really messed Karl and his team around but was thoroughly looked after. When we showed up at the correct time myself and my two colleagues were treated very well. Good comms, easy to reach out to. Great on emails. Rooms are very nice. Good parking, but busiest when the pub is busy lunch, evening however was always able to find a space. Food is excellent. Breakfast choices are really good - you are really well fed. WiFi is good, I was able to take a several hour video meeting without any call quality or video issues which is essential when travelling on business. Will book again when next working in the area.

This hotel is such a fabulous hotel, great location, good sized room/bathroom, great sized bed & soft fluffy towels. To add to this, the food was delicious, fantastic service and staff are friendly, helpful and all with a smile. We stayed Friday night and had an early engagement, Christine made sure our dinner was on time and made sure we had everything before finishing her shift. Honestly, what a lovely lady. She was just as helpful and cheerful the next morning. The lamb dinner in the evening was absolutely delicious 😋 The complimentary glass of Prosecco and half a beer was a fabulous touch… not advertised enough. Luckily we found a voucher in the room. And the choice of breakfast was amazing. We had smashed avo on toasted sourdough, seasoned with a hint of lemon, pesto leaves, chilly flakes and a perfect poached egg on the side… all done to perfection… well done to whoever made that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And for once the tea in the teapot was actually boiling, so I had a hot cup of tea with my breakfast… again perfect! One small thing… a little more light in the bathroom or in the bedroom with a good mirror for us older ladies would be helpful!

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 !

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.

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 🤍

Service was second to none. It was such a pleasant surprise. The Sunday lunch was excellent and so tasty, and excellent value for money. An unbelievable change from what we had experienced a year or more ago. Although we sat outside, we had frequent from a member of staff to ensure all was OK. Highy recommended.

Had the most amazing Sunday lunch to celebrate a special 93rd birthday. The staff decorated specially in just the perfect window area of the pub. The atmosphere is so welcoming including kids and even the dogs! The staff and service was just excellent. Sunday lunch we all immediately opted for the Roast beef which was cooked to perfection and comes with a huge Yorkshire pudding, roasties, all your fave veggies and the best stuffing I've ever tasted! Pudding was an easy choice for most with an all time fave of Sticky Toffee Pudding but I chose the Rice Pudding with apples & homemade honeycomb.....every mouthful tasted like apple crumble, it was delicious. Coffee and birthday cake to end a wonderful lunch in a gorgeous setting which even included a quick trip to the playpark conveniently located across the street :) We will absolutely be back!!! ♡

A wonderful pub with wonderful staff. Well worth a detour off the Shaftesbury / Blandford road. A great menu selection using local produce. We had The Cricketer and The Fisherman option in malted roll. Both with great fresh ingredients. Will certainly visit again.

As it was Monday night I couldn't find anywhere else to eat, so many pubs and restaurants were closed! I had to travel just over ten miles but boy was it worth it. I had the beer battered Pollock and it was superb. The beer was exceptionally well kept as well. Would recommend this pub as the whole experience was great, a special sound out to the young lady who answered the phone as her easy, confident, manner on the phone convinced me to get in the car and both young ladies in the bar especially the red head who was lovely! Not a fan of the basket idea, my fork kept going through the greaseproof paper, would have preferred a plate. With food this good you don't need a gimmick!

Atmosphere nice, waitress lovely and friendly. £17 for a double gin and a pint seemed steep. Food delicious however not much as to portion size. I would come back if the menu was a bit more wider, not much choice. I only liked 2 things on the menu, would love to see jacket potatoes as an option with a side salad! Too hot for hot meals this year of the year.

Popped in here with kids on way back from the beach. I'm old fashioned and do appreciate the bar staff giving it some 'I'll be with you in a moment' patter when I approached the bar. Acknowledgement. Nice. The service was friendly and more importantly the lemonades and shandy were ice cold. Kids could happily play on the crazy golf style gravel at the top of the beer garden. Can't comment on rooms or food but it felt a good place to be.

Having passed The True Lovers Knot many times we had a chance to stop off there today. It’s a true old fashion pub with a log burner which was alight and we were lucky enough to get a table right next to it. We were hoping to have a Sunday roast. Because we hadn’t booked a table we thought we were out of luck. However they were very accommodating and said we could have the table till 14.30 which was fantastic. We ordered two roast turkey dinners which come with all the trimmings and was absolutely delicious. You definitely won’t leave feeling hungry. We will definitely return but make sure we book. Thank you.

A big group of us were catered for, as we were celebrating a birthday. We were given a private space close reception, service was excellent, not too long to wait for food. The meals were not small either. And with the burger, a nice beetroot bun(gorgeous )No rush for table, the staff even gave us a Happy birthday chorus. Even though it was evening, the fairy lights outside gave the garden a lovely atmosphere, with a cosy lodge if you wanted to be outside.
