크라운 호텔(The Crown Hotel)

這個小鎮很漂亮，隔壁就是bryanston school，到salisburry公交能直達，鎮子上沒有uber，但是酒店staff非常熱心，會幫助預約taxi，到的是週一，時間又比較晚了，鎮子上很多餐廳週一不開門的，它家反而非常熱鬧，很驚喜的是週一晚餐還有折扣，我算了一下66折呢！酒店裝修就是傳統英式，非常古典美！因為古老所以沒有電梯的，帶大行李要注意！對門的牛排店很不錯喲！周圍餐廳也不少！

I have a long history with this hotel. Dating back to 1980. It was the place to go to to drink the famous Badger Ale. People leaving on posting or demob, used to have their farewell lunch and drink there. I left in 1991 and settled in Cardiff. But occasionally visited. Then when I move overseas. I make a point each time I return to the UK to stay for a night or two. I just love this place, the cosiness, familiarity and of course the ale. This last trip however was not the same. I missed the Shakshuka for breakfast, but was still able to sample honey straight from the comb. No the problem is old age. Our room this time was probably the furthest one they had from the main house. I know we crossed a courtyard upstairs. There was a lift but the corridor and a few steps made things difficult for my wife. Worst of all, the bathroom had a shower but the hight of the bath meant she could not shower for the three days we were there. Even I struggled, and there wasn't even a handrail to assist. So I guess we have outgrown the Crown. Yes we could have asked for some assistance but we ex-military do not do that, and my wife said she would have been too embarrassed.

Where to start? Helen on reception, what a diamond! So friendly, so helpful, excellent first impression. My room was divine. The bath huge and deep, the room well appointed. It’s full of original features which I loved. Dinner. Shepherds Pie, which deserves a five star review on its own. Delicious….. The bed…. OMG SO comfy! I literally must have gone straight to sleep it was amazing. Special mention for Vince! Vince is a delight and made my stay! What a gorgeous, lovely, funny, Gentleman! Breakfast….. OMG… lush, well worth getting up early for. I stayed one night but wanted to stay longer. I sincerely hope I get to stay at this outstanding hotel again! Bravo! Beautiful stay, loved it.

Stayed in a very comfortable triple room which had a totally separate, well appointed single room as well as a generous double.

Stayed here 7-8March. All was fabulous this hotel is really lovely. Great feeling as you walk in with such a friendly welcoming. We were extremely lucky and given room 11 which was huge warm and spotlessly clean. Missive comfortable bed with two good pillows each. The bathroom with very large bath and overhead shower. Nice tea tray with biscuits and two small bottles of water. Had drinks in the smashing old fashioned bar that had friendly young bar staff. Beer was super nice too! Dinner in the main dining room was out of this world. Haven’t had a hotel meal that great for absolutely ages. All so so delicious so don’t miss the chance of enjoying your supper here! We didn’t have breakfast but I’d bet that it’s pretty amazing also. There is nothing to dislike about this beautiful hotel. I really wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for such a short but amazing stay. Please don’t change a thing about it we want to come back!

Had a midweek lunch with friends. Rob served us and he was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. 3 of us had fish and chips which was a huge portion but a little overpriced at £16.95 and the other a club sandwich £10.45. All very tasty. Lovely restaurant, hotel and bar in a good location at the end of Blandford high street. Would recommend.

Lovely hotel, antique but modern feel at the same time, which was different and great. Dog friendly and ALL of the staff were really helpful and friendly. Food was also excellent, decent parking, Definitely would stay here again. Thank you

A fine , traditional , hotel that is obviously at the heart of the town. The hotel is a good place to stay , with good food and nice rooms at a reasonable price, without being pretentious . It was noteworthy for the friendly and helpful staff who keep the place so well. We used it as a base for local walks and thoroughly enjoyed these [ but do use the Ordnance Survey maps to help plan routes ]

Popped in off the cuff for some food. I never really have much luck when I order a roast but for some reason decided I’d give it a try. OMG it was exceptional, the beef pink and melted in the mouth. The potato’s crunchy on the outside soft on the inside, the parsnips and carrots awesome!! Brilliant
