About The Anvil Inn
Kingston Lacy is within easy reach of The Anvil Inn, along with Dorset Museum and the open countryside that surrounds Blandford Forum, making this a sensible base for days out combined with walking or a round of golf at a nearby course. The town itself has pubs, restaurants and other eateries close by, along with entertainment options for evenings when you'd rather not travel far.
The hotel itself offers en-suite rooms and free WiFi throughout, with breakfast available to set guests up for the day. There's a restaurant and bar on site for those who prefer to eat in, plus a garden for quieter moments and a 24 hour reception for flexible arrivals and departures.
Free on-site parking is provided, which makes The Anvil Inn a straightforward choice for anyone exploring Blandford Forum and the wider Dorset countryside by car.
Diners like this pub's delicious and generously portioned food, including hearty breakfasts, roast dinners, and various main courses, with excellent gluten and dairy-free options. They also highlight the warm, cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, and dog-friendly amenities.
Some reviews mention the service can be slow.
