Staff friendly, room nice and clean, lovely atmosphere… slept well!
Large parking area out the back, we missed it first round but located it easily enough - slightly slow check-in but room was gorgeous! I loved reading about the history of the hotel and local town.
Convenient for visiting relatives in Blandford. Comfortable room and good breakfast

Check in was simple and car parking simple just remember to register your registration.
Rooms are very nice and a take you back in time. Only issue the floorboards are slippy if walking in socks 😀. Bed is really comfy & cosy.
BReakfast is excellent and delivered promptly.
Will definitely stay there again.
Thank you for a nice overnight stay 👍
