Top North Dorset District Hotel Reviews

The Nog Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here 2 nights whilst visiting the area, what a great find. The accommodation is in a separate building set behind the pub in the beer garden..the room was comfortable with a lovely bathroom. We had our evening meals in the pub and also breakfast, what fantastic food, 10/10 and the service from the owners and their team was first class. Thankyou. Nog Inn.."

Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent venue for staying in the Blandford Forum area. Comfortable room with everything we needed. 10/10 breakfast ."

Greyhound Inn Freehouse

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a lovely place and the food was great. However, a double mattress would have been better than 2 single mattresses with a sheet over them. Didn't make for a great night's sleep."

Hunters Lodge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice stay. Clean & had everything needed. Helpful & friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit"

Plumber Manor

10/10 Excellent

"Plumber Manor is a perfect place to stay if you want a peaceful retreat in beautiful gardens , a comfortable bed and delicious food. It has a well stocked bar and the wine prices are reasonable. The only negative was the wifi was weak in the courtyard room we stayed in which caused ‘buffering’ when watching a film. We mentioned it to staff and it will be rectified. It is a family owned hotel so the service feels personal. Somewhere we would definitely like to return to. There are many interesting places to visit nearby, including the Jurassic coast and National Trust properties. The hotel staff will help to plan your day."

The Hunters Moon

8/10 Good

"We had a nice overnight stay. it was a halfway house between Cornwall and east Sussex. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was really good and well organised. The only issue we had was the curtains in our room (no.2) . They don't stretch all the way across, several hooks were missing and the middle bracket looked as if it was about to fall out the wall! We ended up holding it all together with pegs we'd travelled with Other than that all was good - a lovely old pub in a lovely part of England."
