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.

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.
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.
Room decor was gorgeous and sensitive to the history of the building. The family suite was absolutely perfect with a large spacious main bedroom, a separate comfortable room with twin beds, a a beautiful bathroom. Breakfast was very generous and tasty. Perfect hotel for a family traveling and near to Durdle Door and the Bovington Tank Museum.
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.
Tanya & Jon were absolutely lovely, they made us feel very welcome and are really friendly. The breakfast was perfect and they went the extra mile to make us have the best stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a stay in Blandford to go for St Leonards Farmhouse.
Fabulous little base for our family to explore Dorset including Lulworth Cove, the Tank Museum. We used the pool at blandford forum and our little ones loved it. It was clean and had everything we needed for our mon to fri stay. Oh and a very handy washing machine. Thank you.
A very cosy and home from home type property! All staff were friendly and welcoming! Our room was spotless with nice touches. Breakfast was delicious! Would highly recommend staying here and it’s a perfect stop off point if you’re passing through Blandford!
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
