Having visited the Crown a few times in the past 10 years or so I was very pleasantly surprised with our latest visit. In addition to the improvements in public areas, our room was excellent, immaculately cleaned and fully supplied with all the accoutrements one expects in a good class hotel. All the staff we encountered were unfailingly helpful and... more

we stayed at The Crown the night before an important business meeting, deciding on this hotel as it was offering a great rate, £95.00 for a double room inc breakfast. On arrival, the receptionist was efficient and lent me stationary items I needed. The room was very small, but clean and traduituinally furnished. Unfortunately the only view we had was... more

Came across the Crown by chance as it's impossible to miss when arriving in Blandford from the west. Friendly business-like attitude from receptionist who quoted a good rate for a double room. After a quick look at the bar & restaurant and at the menu, we asked to look at the room and were given a choice of two -... more

We had booked into a pub not far from Blandford Forum for the first two days of a week's stay in Dorset. The pub was horrible so we went in search of alternative accommodation. We recalled stopping off at The Crown a couple of years ago for a very pleasant lunch so decided to turn up "on spec" to see... more

The Wild West. 29th. 30 & 31st Jan 2009 Thursday. The first night of our three night stay. We were kept awake till about 2.15 am because of two brawls in the street/club outside and underneath our hotel room. We eventually heard 4.00 am strike from the church, designed and built by Christopher Wren the architect, in the 1700's. Good... more

My wife and I have stayed at the Crown a couple of times a year for about ten years. We went back after a gap of about a year or so and were apalled. The refurbishment has destroyed the character of the Hotel. Reception for some reason has been resited in the middle of the dining area. The bar is... more

I had the pleasure tonight of staying to the Crown tonight and felt compelled to burst into print this evening. The hotel has an olde worldly charm with reception located behind a nice big old timber desk rather than a sterile bench. Reception was pleasant and efficient but the real fun started at the bar. Given that the hotel is... more

We booked the Crown because we knew it was the best hotel in the town. Room nice although we did book a slightly larger family room Recent refurbishment has greatly improved the public areas. Breakfast was the best we have had in a hotel for a long time Only problem was some noise from adjacent pubs late at night Menu... more

We stayed here for 2 nights. One would have about right. Reception staff were friendly and the hotel has undergone some recent refurbishment. That apart, it was an average experience and the least attractive, but not the cheapest, of the four hotel stays on our tip more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for his birthday, having booked a tour of the local Hall and Woodhouse brewery (H and W also own this hotel). The hotel interior is immediately striking because it is beautifully old fashioned, with lots of dark wood panelling, heavy crimson curtains and battered leather chairs. Our room was small yet clean... more
