Lovely little place, right near the centre of the town so an easy walk to shops and restaurants, but tucked away enough that we weren't disturbed by traffic or passers by.

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.

It's a lovely town with a great museum, scenic river walks and nice cafes, restaurants and bars.

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!

The village of Kingston Zelston is very quiet and pretty, we were lucky enough to see a pair of geese by the river there with goslings. Although I didn't go into the church the outside is well kept looks as if it is well used.
We had a fantastic day at Monkey World and also an extremely enjoyable afternoon at Keyneston Mill Botanical Gardens & Bistro. Many other places of interest to visit, but sadly time didn't allow us to fit them in.
We will return there in the future.

A delightful place half way between Wimborne and Blandford Forum. We were made most welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were cooked to order and were delicious. Our room was quite spacious with a good sized bathroom We have paid more for less satisfactory accommodation. At all times we were treated in a polite and friendly manner by the staff. We had two delicious evening meals. The menu is straightforward but quite varied. When we next visit Dorset this is where we plan to stay.
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.
Room decor was gorgeous and sensitive to the history of the building. The family suite was absolutely perfect with a large spacious main bedroom, a separate comfortable room with twin beds, a a beautiful bathroom. Breakfast was very generous and tasty. Perfect hotel for a family traveling and near to Durdle Door and the Bovington Tank Museum.
This apartment is charming and quirky, we had a lovely overnight stay and the accomodation was great value. . The facilities were excellent and it is very centrally located in Blandford so perfect for where we were visiting the following day. Communication was great from the host and instructions very clear and helpful.
Fabulous very accommodating staff, lovely room, bathroom. Wonderful breakfast included.. Staff friendly and helpful throughout. Great parking facilities. Sad Blandford Forum is having road works it took nearly an hour to find how to get to the hotel with all the diversions. Google the local brewery and go in that way.
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.
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 👌👌😁😁
Overall my experience of this hotel was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the Inn was a delightful building. I would recommend it and would stay here again if I was in the area.
lovely hotel with a great bar, restaurant and patio area. stay were great. the hotel has free parking and a elevator. very pleased with our visit. have added a photo from the restaurant.
What a beautiful place! So peaceful yet within 10 mins walk of Blandford Forum. Comfortable, spotless accommodation, amazing breakfasts (perfect poached eggs!) and really friendly hosts.
