Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests universally commend the property's immaculate condition, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for its quiet village setting and proximity to a local pub and nearby towns. However, some guests mentioned the need for transport and limited pub opening times.
The lodge is described as comfortable and relaxing, with a secure courtyard and thoughtful provisions for dogs. The compact size was a minor concern for some.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped and maintained. Some guests suggested a need for more hanging space and a larger outdoor area.
The welcome pack and additional thoughtful touches are highly praised, although it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Blandford Forum is a market town in Dorset, England, situated by the River Stour. Notable for its Georgian architecture, most of the town was rebuilt in the 18th century after it was destroyed by a fire in 1731. King George II made a donation to rebuild the town centre with designs from local architects John and William Bastard. The Blandford Georgian Fayre is an annual event held in the first week of May and celebrates its Georgian heritage, with presentations, historical re-enactments and music and dancing. One of the town’s biggest events takes place on the late Bank Holiday weekend, the Great Dorset Steam Fair. A largely colourful festival with over 2,000 exhibits and an old time steam funfair. Offering a wide selection of independent store, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, cafés and a Georgian tearoom. So much to visit within this quaint town and makes for a wonderful tourist attraction, whatever the season.

The only issue that we encountered was the fact that we opted to use our smaller third car and thank goodness we did because the other two vehicles (one of which is a VW campervan) would not have been able to access the parking bay which was extremely difficult to get onto due to the narrowness of the lane and the slope at the entrance to the parking area. Of course, you can park on the road in the village itself, although this would not be our preference. The welcome pack was an amazing gesture and we would definitely recommend the lodge to others.
