Séjour agréable dans un hôtel plein de charme

Nous avions réservé une chambre triple and avons eu un appartement avec chambre double, chambre simple et salle de bain - toutes magnifiquement aménagées. Excellent diner au restaurant de l'hôtel et très bon petit-déjeuner, que nous avons pu prendre à emporter avant notre ferry. Personnel souriant et agréable.

Système de ventilation/climatisation (?) bruyant à côté de notre chambre.

Avoid! Not a £200 a night hotel

Location is ok

Drab decor, dirty, damaged walls and furniture. Huge dusty cobweb hanging from the ceiling, dust everywhere. The Older female at reception on arrival came across as a dodgy dealer. Offered me Breakfast at a discounted rate £12 per adult instead of £15… Then charged me £12 for a 4 year old child to eat breakfast buffet when all they ate was a tiny Cereal box This was a £200 a night hotel. It’s definitely not value for money, £200 is a complete rip off for this 2 star hotel. £200 for one night doesn’t include the breakfast buffet! Crazy The staff and food at breakfast was lovely

A characterful hotel which provides all the expected services but retains its own personality

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.

Very little

A great stay at a great location. We needed to be at the school next door so a great spot over all.

We only had breakfast and dinner and they both were very good. It was great also having excellent options nearby in town for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The beds and pillows were a bit hard for me...but I guess that is a personal preference.

Beautiful place, with lovely friendly staff and good meal options.

The request for twin beds was fulfilled with no problems. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Dinner was a really good meal. Breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit options as well as cereal and toast on the buffet and the option to choose your own hot breakfast e.g have hash browns or beans as a side to eggs.

The bedside light was a bit too bright. Opening the door was a bit awkward as had to turn the key and turn the handle at the same time.

Excellent and friendly staff. Spacious rooms, and good local beer!

Everything was clean and high quality. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, they even lent me an umbrella when it was pouring down after I'd checked out. The restaurant and bar staff were fantastic, generally really nice people. Even when an innocent mistake was made with my food order they corrected it immediately.

There was little I disliked. While it's slightly pricey. You do get what you pay for.

Interior decoration was in keeping with age of building , like going back in time! Breakfast as wonderful as was the Badger beer. Staff were friendly.

Bed a little hard but that’s personal preference.

Great night away.

Location was central and close to amenities. Room facilities were great, hot weather there was an air conditioning unit. Shower was great also!

As it seemed to be a busy venue there seemed to be a staff shortage, for breakfast we waited a long while to place our cooked food order. But staff were lovely and friendly and very helpful overall.

Lovely place to stay.

The rooms and the food were great. We were served by a lady called Christine and a young blonde lad at dinner and another amazing lady at breakfast who were absolutely brilliant. Kind and professional.

We went into the bar to get a cocktail, asked the bar person if they would help us take the drinks through to which we were told "you will be ok" we looked at each other and said that's a no then..... Also we ordered coffees the next afternoon, the waitress bought us an extra coffee out. When we said we didnt order it the waitress was a little Kurt. It is a shame as with a little training with the bar staff it could be a perfect stay.

Comfortable stay in great location!

The Crown is in a great location in Blandford. By the river, with lots of greenery in-between, you can imagine it being a magnet for tourists and locals alike come summer! (and there seemed to be decent room for resident parking, too). The hotel is vast, with various areas to eat and drink, each with a different feel. The bedroom was olde worlde, and given how cold it was outside, it was toasty warm and comfortable. All-in-all, a nice hotel to stop in with no complaints.

Initial service in the evening was slow with limited care and attention. Tried to order food via the QR code, which didn't work. No check-in's once food had been served (no issues BUT I would have asked for a pud & a coffee, if asked!) Breakfast took a while to come out, for a very simple order.
