Independent, North Dorset District hotels

"Kim and Richard were superb, fantastic recommendation for a lovely walk nearby, food was delicious, room had everything we needed. The atmosphere was wonderful, the regulars all super friendly, highly recommended, would jump at the chance to stay again!"

"Have stayed at the Royal Chase over many years now, it’s always spotlessly clean and the service is always first class…"

"Great accomodation and food."

"Beautiful, quiet rural hotel. Lovely staff and great food. Pricey drinks at the bar though! "

"Great place to stay en route to Cornwall. Spacious room, good breakfast "

"We stayed in Helena, it was very clean and well equipped. Concern about escape routes in the event of a fire. Some rooms didn’t have a large enough window to get out of. Swimming pool great, as was the hot tub. Lovely setting near Blandford. Would recommend getting shopping delivered as quite remote. "

"Owner and staff were incredibly accommodating! When we walked in, the bartender checked us in seamlessly, walked us to our room, helped us with our bags, and by the time we meandered back down to the bar, drinks were waiting for us. We opted for breakfast the next day and had the most delicious full English. The outdoor space is also incredibly comfortable and inviting. Would 100% both recommend this gem AND stay here again in a heartbeat."

"Lovely stay for a military ball at the camp in Blandford. Wonderful staff and couldn’t do more for us during our visit. Great nights sleep! "

"Really great rooms at the hotel. Definitely will be back, make sure to drive though, its quite difficult to get taxis last minute."
