Lovely stay
Nice hotel / pub close to Blandford town! Everything was perfect in the room with a mini fridge with milk, water, kettle etc for us. It was very clean, tidy, safe and very friendly whilst staying there. Only downside is it is a bit out dated need to replace the mattress as it was very old.

Great location and very friendly host / staff. Room was spacious and comfortable, but felt a little tired and in need of some decor updates.
Wi-Fi was great.

Decent pub accommodation - quiet & clean
Perfectly decent pub accommodation, in a separate building set back from the pub which is ideal in case is worried about noise. Fairly basic facilities (note no toiletries are provided) but a nice touch having a small fridge with free bottled water and proper milk for tea/coffee!

good hotel and nice stay
The location is ideal. next to the rail station and walking distance to many restaurants. Service is very good and staff are friendly. The only minor issue is the wifi connection isn't so good.

The rooms were very clean and set up for tea/coffee making with fresh milk in the fridge. Brilliant hair dryer in the room too and powerful shower in the bathroom which was spotless.
The staff gave us a very warm welcome.
We dined in the pub which has an extensive menu choice including a small appetites menu.
The food was excellent, very well presented and tasty. Would highly recommend dining here.
