Hall and Woodhouse's Georgian hotel by the Stour bridge in Blandford, with a garden running down to the river. Dog-friendly rooms mean there is no need to leave a dog at home, and the team will bring a bowl of water or a treat. Ring ahead if you are bringing a dog so a suitable room is allocated.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The rooms that take dogs, and where they sleep.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
What a night actually costs, so nobody has to ring to find out.
How many dog-friendly rooms, whether they are ground floor, where the dog sleeps.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Characterful pub on Blandford's Market Place, sport on the screens and a warm welcome for four-legged friends in its own words. A town-centre local rather than a dining pub, in the handsomest Georgian market square in Dorset. Good stop off the Stour valley walks.
A four-mile two-hour circuit out of the Georgian town over the species-rich chalk grassland of the Milldown, down to the Stour and back along the river past Bryanston woods, with 120 metres of climb on mown grass, stony track and riverside path. Easy underfoot, though the meadow section floods in winter. Start from the Marsh and Ham car park by the bridge in Blandford, pay and display, several hundred spaces and rarely full; the Milldown is a fifteen-minute walk uphill from it. The Milldown is a Dorset Council nature reserve where the grassland is grazed and mown for orchids, so leads across the sward when stock are in, but the river path gives easy shallow access for a swim below the bridge.
Nobody has written one for The Crown Hotel. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
