The Crown Hotel Magnificent - Smart Hotel Central Blandford - Live in

A Beautiful Georgian Coaching Inn 

Just a stones throw from the brewery in Blandford Forum, The Crown is reportedly the oldest inn in Dorset and has been a residence since the 10th Century. The Inn joined the Hall and Woodhouse family in 1931 and in 2017 the company spent over £3 million on refurbishing the bedrooms, bar and dining room, resurrecting the beautiful Georgian Coaching Inn to its former splendor. With 27 well-appointed bedrooms, some with Georgian theming, a beautiful outside patio, a separate dining room and further pantry and common room seating areas, the inn is very much the focal point of the town. The separate Sealy Suite offers a private function room ideal for weddings, celebrations, functions and events making the place buzz all year around.
