    The owners of this B&B were very friendly and welcoming. It was very homely, I booked the single room for one night and it was very clean, cosy and comfortable. There was a great choice for breakfast and the cooked breakfast was outstanding.

    I had the full English both mornings, and it was perfect - all high-quality ingredients and served with a smile.
  • Norman

    The room was small but well-equipped. Breakfast was excellent. The host, Tania, went out of her way to facilitate a slightly-earlier check-in which was appreciated. There was even a well-behaved squirrel in the room, adding to the rustic ambience,...

Company information

Jon and I have lived in St Leonards Farmhouse since 2014 and we absolutely love it. Elsie has recently come to join us and is definitely the missing piece to our puzzle.

Property information

A beautiful listed Georgian Farmhouse offering luxury accommodation close to the town centre and local amenities.

Neighbourhood information

Its a 5/10 minute flat walk down the main street into the beautiful Georgian town of Blandford Forum where you will find a variety of coffee shops, bars and restaurants. (I can highly recommend The Yellow Bicycle Cafe for morning coffee or lunch. We also have some beautiful independent gift and clothing shops, pop into The Hambledon Gallery for a spot of luxury shopping.) If you prefer a more scenic route then walk through the meadow and along the River Stour entering the town from the bottom end. If you are lucky you may spot our local family of Otters playing near the weir.
