"Room was ok, bathroom smelt very damp and musty. Hot breakfast was fine, limited choice of other thing, for instance no croissants/pastries. Tables in restaurant were not clean and felt very sticky. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Good location, right on the seafront. Hotel parking very limited alternative parking about a 15 minute walk away. Reasonable price but probably wouldn’t stay here again. "
"Clean room and staff are lovely the young lad josh was so lovely he was running around like a mad thing making lovely pizzas for people aswell as running the bar and reception but still had a laugh bless him "
"All the staff were welcoming and friendly and are a credit to the hotel.
They loved our dog too - Toby who was rewarded with a welcome box and treats during our stay - even giving a sausage at breakfast.
We can’t thank the staff enough, when we realised that my husband had left his wallet in the bedroom. The reception team contacted us and went above and beyond to send his wallet back!m. Both the housekeeper’s and receptionist are exceptional!
The room was lovely with great pillows and mattress - something that’s very important to me and you don’t always get it from a hotel stay.
The hotel is in a great location, next to the river and with lovely outdoor seating and a car park too!
It’s great that you have a car park
This was our first time visiting Blandford Forum as we our considering our next move and Blandford Forum is at the top of our list. "
"No running hot water. Called in the evening and again in the morning with no answer.
Cold shower it was.
Room was too much money for the condition.
Location however is convenient."
"Room was great and well appointed.. hotel team were pleasant.. breakfast was hit and miss .. we realised different chefs were on.. pity no level of consistency.. "
