Serving homemade ice cream and real ales, The Langton Arms has a traditional pub restaurant. The inn is set in a 17th-century thatched house, in the picturesque Dorset village of Tarrant Monkton.

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and would have been happy to extend it given the opportunity. The room was clean spacious and comfortable and given that they are built around the courtyard it felt as if we had our own patio outside.
All the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming and the food was well presented and delicious. The location in a peaceful country hamlet between Blandford and Wimbourne was perfect for a relaxing break and very dog friendly. An absolute gem.

Blandford Forum town centre is needing a bit of TLC like many English towns now.
Too many charity shops which is a sad reflection of local council management.
Wonderful town walk down to the river Stour though.
A few interesting restaurants would be an added attraction for all generations, as well.

Winterborne Houghton which is actually the village we stayed in. Blandford Forum is a 15 minute drive away. Houghton is a very pretty village with lovely gardens and houses. Lots of thatched properties. There is a fish farm which sells delicious fresh trout and Arctic charr. There is a pub which was very nice but we didn’t eat there so I can’t comment on the food. We walked to the pub, about a mile. Very friendly people.

It's a lovely town with a great museum, scenic river walks and nice cafes, restaurants and bars.
One thing to be aware of is that public transport is limited at weekends. There are no bus services to Shaftesbury or Salisbury or Yeovil on Saturdays and Sundays.

I am relocating back to Blandford (thru personal choice) so it can’t be too bad !
Few empty shops which is a shame, could do with a bit of upgrading of shops and facilities and I thought a cinema was in the pipeline, but no show yet!

The village of Kingston Zelston is very quiet and pretty, we were lucky enough to see a pair of geese by the river there with goslings. Although I didn't go into the church the outside is well kept looks as if it is well used.
We had a fantastic day at Monkey World and also an extremely enjoyable afternoon at Keyneston Mill Botanical Gardens & Bistro. Many other places of interest to visit, but sadly time didn't allow us to fit them in.
We will return there in the future.

A delightful place half way between Wimborne and Blandford Forum. We were made most welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were cooked to order and were delicious. Our room was quite spacious with a good sized bathroom We have paid more for less satisfactory accommodation. At all times we were treated in a polite and friendly manner by the staff. We had two delicious evening meals. The menu is straightforward but quite varied. When we next visit Dorset this is where we plan to stay.

Beautiful location, peaceful with an amazing outlook into the Dorset countryside. Nice quiet country roads and not far from local pubs and Blandford Forum is just a short drive away. Ideally located for a day trip down to Lulworth Cove for a lovely run across the headlands towards Weymouth. The hot tub and sauna were an added bonus and a perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.
Breakfast was good with options for both cooked or uncooked. We enjoyed our evening meals and the beer was good. This location is in a rural setting, but convenient for local towns and no problem if you have a car. We stayed for two nights and managed to visit Blandford Forum, Wimborne Minster and Kingston Lacy. The new owner made us feel very welcome.
The room was comfortable, well decorated, and very spacious. The breakfast was delicious, both from the buffet and the menu. Blandford Forum makes for a great location to explore this beautiful area of England. The staff were incredibly friendly & helpful, and the pub was fun and has a cozy ambiance and a good selection of drinks.
The host was very polite and professional taking time to chat and ask if there were anything she could do to assist throughout our stay. The building was beautiful and very clean and the breakfast served has to be one of the best I have had from a hotel.
Amazing place, comfy, breakfast was great. Would recommend to those who are looking for a quiet place to stay in Blandford. Close to the town centre, in walking distance. Owners make you feel at home and are very welcoming.
the hotel is simply great, rooms are very roomy, clean and comfortable. The staff are very nice and helpful. hotel is situated next to all the facilities you need
I must like it as I’ve stayed over 15 times
Nice central hotel in Blandford. The room is large and nicely decorated. The food is good and I would recommend breakfast which is included in the room price.
Breakfast was great - lots of choice.
Location was good for me as I needed to be around Blandford but it’s central enough for visiting anywhere in Dorset.
