The location was perfect - surrounded by nature, peaceful and serene. There were swings and other activities by the accommodation (life-size chess board, table tennis, etc.). The location was very clean and organised. The cottage was also clean and very aesthetic. The hot tub was an amazing feature with an amazing view into the woods. The owner even sent an email with suggestions on where to go and eat around the area. Highly recommend this accommodation. Would book again in the future, definitely!!!

Blandford Forum town centre is needing a bit of TLC like many English towns now.
Too many charity shops which is a sad reflection of local council management.
Wonderful town walk down to the river Stour though.
A few interesting restaurants would be an added attraction for all generations, as well.

Winterborne Houghton which is actually the village we stayed in. Blandford Forum is a 15 minute drive away. Houghton is a very pretty village with lovely gardens and houses. Lots of thatched properties. There is a fish farm which sells delicious fresh trout and Arctic charr. There is a pub which was very nice but we didn’t eat there so I can’t comment on the food. We walked to the pub, about a mile. Very friendly people.

It's a lovely town with a great museum, scenic river walks and nice cafes, restaurants and bars.
One thing to be aware of is that public transport is limited at weekends. There are no bus services to Shaftesbury or Salisbury or Yeovil on Saturdays and Sundays.

I am relocating back to Blandford (thru personal choice) so it can’t be too bad !
Few empty shops which is a shame, could do with a bit of upgrading of shops and facilities and I thought a cinema was in the pipeline, but no show yet!

The village of Kingston Zelston is very quiet and pretty, we were lucky enough to see a pair of geese by the river there with goslings. Although I didn't go into the church the outside is well kept looks as if it is well used.
We had a fantastic day at Monkey World and also an extremely enjoyable afternoon at Keyneston Mill Botanical Gardens & Bistro. Many other places of interest to visit, but sadly time didn't allow us to fit them in.
We will return there in the future.

A delightful place half way between Wimborne and Blandford Forum. We were made most welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were cooked to order and were delicious. Our room was quite spacious with a good sized bathroom We have paid more for less satisfactory accommodation. At all times we were treated in a polite and friendly manner by the staff. We had two delicious evening meals. The menu is straightforward but quite varied. When we next visit Dorset this is where we plan to stay.
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and would have been happy to extend it given the opportunity. The room was clean spacious and comfortable and given that they are built around the courtyard it felt as if we had our own patio outside.
All the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming and the food was well presented and delicious. The location in a peaceful country hamlet between Blandford and Wimbourne was perfect for a relaxing break and very dog friendly. An absolute gem.
Beautiful location, peaceful with an amazing outlook into the Dorset countryside. Nice quiet country roads and not far from local pubs and Blandford Forum is just a short drive away. Ideally located for a day trip down to Lulworth Cove for a lovely run across the headlands towards Weymouth. The hot tub and sauna were an added bonus and a perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.
Room decor was gorgeous and sensitive to the history of the building. The family suite was absolutely perfect with a large spacious main bedroom, a separate comfortable room with twin beds, a a beautiful bathroom. Breakfast was very generous and tasty. Perfect hotel for a family traveling and near to Durdle Door and the Bovington Tank Museum.
The room was comfortable, well decorated, and very spacious. The breakfast was delicious, both from the buffet and the menu. Blandford Forum makes for a great location to explore this beautiful area of England. The staff were incredibly friendly & helpful, and the pub was fun and has a cozy ambiance and a good selection of drinks.
Complimentary drink on arrival. The quality of food was excellent and the breakfasts were huge. A lovely touch was to be offered a bottle of tap water with our meal.
The staff were very attentive, chatty and helpful.
This hotel was above our expectations in many respects. We had a wonderful time.
Tanya & Jon were absolutely lovely, they made us feel very welcome and are really friendly. The breakfast was perfect and they went the extra mile to make us have the best stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a stay in Blandford to go for St Leonards Farmhouse.
I love this place. Its in a beautiful rural location, yet is a short pleasant stroll into the centre of Blandford Forum. The rooms are spacious, clean and light and the owners are simply charming. I'd recommend this place to anyone whether for business or pleasure
the hotel is simply great, rooms are very roomy, clean and comfortable. The staff are very nice and helpful. hotel is situated next to all the facilities you need
I must like it as I’ve stayed over 15 times
Location was perfect for a wedding party we were attending in Blandford.
Very friendly staff when we arrived.
Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable bed. Great size room.
Couldn't ask for more.
Very spacious 3 bedroom home in central Blandford. Its exactly that a home to relax in. On the main road out of Blandford close to all local facilities you need for self-catering.
