Crown Hotel  

the patio garden and bar

Friendly reception, excellent room facilities, great comfort, excellent breakfast.

Bar drinks too expensive. Shower in room difficult and lacking support rail to get out.

Nice bright room, airy and good bar and restaurant facilities plus great breakfast.

The service lacked leadership hence there was a feel at Friday night dinner that it was all a tad ah hoc with dishes arriving at different times. Food was well presented but one or two of the courses were average/poor.

Lovely quirky hotel, our room contained lots of books, pictures etc, slightly oldfashioned but we loved it.Breakfast choice was very good. Lots of free parking. right in the centre of Blandford which has a good mixture of shops, and hotel just next to the river for a walk after breakfast.

Nothing really all was fine

The quirkiness

As a solo traveller, found the staff welcoming, very helpful, made to feel at ease.

Nothing

Characterful hotel. Friendly welcoming staff. Good food and well kept beer in the bar

Evening meal in the restaurant was a bit minimal. TV in single room quite small

I liked the ambience of the hotel and the hospitable welcome from the Staff Easy access to wifi Excellent breakfast choices

The gurgling radiator plumbing in my room but that's just an old building's "character"!

very friendly

over priced, very slow bar service

Lovely room, comfortable beds, excellent food, comfy warm atmosphere in the pub and dining room, very friendly and approachable staff. The Crown exceeded my expectations and created a very nice weekend holiday, I would like to stay there again.

Lovely country atmosphere. Very relaxing.

I li9ked the welcoming atmosphere and the friendly waitresses. everything I needed I got. Thank you.

there was nothing I didn't like!

I've stayed several times before and like the simple friendliness of this small-town hotel

My single room was cold and the radiator ineffective to heat the space. The large heavy curtains had to be folded up not to cover what little heat they gave. The dinner was awful roasted vegetables sloshing in oil and the chicken parched! Pity

Breakfast menu was good

Poor shower. Water only luke warm at best. Evening meals over priced and food only 5 out of 10 at best

All was very good - easy and comfortable.

Nothing to report

The ambiance of the public areas.

As the radiator had been turned off the room was very cold and took a long time to warm up.

Food was great, we were stuck with a big table of 15 though, I thought the staff could have thought a little more about room layout, a little lazy of them really. Breakfast was really lovely, I went for the veg option (i'm not one) it was so tasty. Staff were very efficient and friendly

Convenient location and overall good service.

Very noisey cleaning staff early on a Sunday morning. Had hoped to sleep in past 9:00.

Location close to centre,

Noise very late at night. Local lads being allowed in to hotel to drink.

The breakfast was excellent and the hall and reception was decorated lovely for xmas

The toliet was not cleaned properly and the bath mat was disgusting and so was the shower curtain also there was writing on the wall behind the bed also we found a dirt pair of shoes in the wardrobe and because I was cold the extra blanket we found had stains on it so it was not used!!.For a room that cost £130 per night normally it was not good value. These things could have been corrected with out much cost,

Badly stained carpets. Poorly maintained room. Bedside light not working. Poor functioning plumbing in the bathroom. Traffic noise. The room was in need of refurbishment. Fried breakfast poor.

The room was extremely hot and couldn't turn the heating down, so uncomfortable from that perspective which didn't help a comfortable night's sleep.

All staff were friendly and helpful. Public rooms and bed comfortable

Food was poor, except breakfast. Menu boring and apparently unchanging Our room was cold and unheated on our arrival; sash windows rattled and caused draughtiness on windy night Bathroom heaters were not functioning, even on changing rooms Water supply erratic - cold tap produced hot water in the night: hot tap scorching water!

Very nice and comfy lots of room we loved it.

Very hot in the evening so made it hard to sleep even with the windows open.

friendly staff, good food and comfortable rooms
