Blandford Forum is a small country town with plenty of character. There are lovely walks by the river, some very charming pubs and places to eat. The main Hotel the Crown has Live music and a terrace to enjoy a drink. The town has interesting quotes carved into the pavement and some attractive historical buildings as well as a market on Thursday and Saturday, and lots of little interesting boutique shops.
If you are looking for old-fashioned charm and a quiet retreat with occasional entertainment, this is the perfect place for you

Blandford Forum town centre is needing a bit of TLC like many English towns now.
Too many charity shops which is a sad reflection of local council management.
Wonderful town walk down to the river Stour though.
A few interesting restaurants would be an added attraction for all generations, as well.

Winterborne Houghton which is actually the village we stayed in. Blandford Forum is a 15 minute drive away. Houghton is a very pretty village with lovely gardens and houses. Lots of thatched properties. There is a fish farm which sells delicious fresh trout and Arctic charr. There is a pub which was very nice but we didn’t eat there so I can’t comment on the food. We walked to the pub, about a mile. Very friendly people.

I am relocating back to Blandford (thru personal choice) so it can’t be too bad !
Few empty shops which is a shame, could do with a bit of upgrading of shops and facilities and I thought a cinema was in the pipeline, but no show yet!

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and would have been happy to extend it given the opportunity. The room was clean spacious and comfortable and given that they are built around the courtyard it felt as if we had our own patio outside.
All the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming and the food was well presented and delicious. The location in a peaceful country hamlet between Blandford and Wimbourne was perfect for a relaxing break and very dog friendly. An absolute gem.
Beautiful location, peaceful with an amazing outlook into the Dorset countryside. Nice quiet country roads and not far from local pubs and Blandford Forum is just a short drive away. Ideally located for a day trip down to Lulworth Cove for a lovely run across the headlands towards Weymouth. The hot tub and sauna were an added bonus and a perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.
This booking was made to facilitate the attendance at a funeral in Poole, while also enabling a visit to friends living in Blandford. The overnight at Saxon Inn worked extremely well after long motoring mileage on Friday and Saturday and I was able to enjoy a very restful night and excellent breakfast, which refreshed me for the 255 mile journey home to Shropshire.
The room was comfortable, well decorated, and very spacious. The breakfast was delicious, both from the buffet and the menu. Blandford Forum makes for a great location to explore this beautiful area of England. The staff were incredibly friendly & helpful, and the pub was fun and has a cozy ambiance and a good selection of drinks.
A very cosy and home from home type property! All staff were friendly and welcoming! Our room was spotless with nice touches. Breakfast was delicious! Would highly recommend staying here and it’s a perfect stop off point if you’re passing through Blandford!
This is a slightly old-fashioned hotel and I mean that as a compliment, not a criticism. It reflects the history and the character of the town in which it sits. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food was good and occasionally very good indeed.
the hotel is simply great, rooms are very roomy, clean and comfortable. The staff are very nice and helpful. hotel is situated next to all the facilities you need
I must like it as I’ve stayed over 15 times
Brilliant location with everything you need, couldn't want for more, will be booking again soon, only regret is with all the times we have visited Blandford, we didn't know about it sooner 👌👌😁😁
Staff were amazing, really friendly, helpful, and approachable. The hotel was country style and in a great location. We had an issue with the plug in our sink, and they foxed it really quickly.

This is a beautiful country house in a lovely rural setting on the edge of Blandford Forum and walking distance from a great pub. The breakfast is exceptional and the welcome very warm !
