Our places in Blandford Forum

Twenty places are listed in and around the town, and most are small. A typical stay is a one-bedroom lodge for two, often with a hot tub and a dog-friendly policy. Groups have fewer options, with just a handful of larger houses and one very big property for 16. The average capacity is about four and a half, which is pulled up by those few big places. If you are travelling as a couple, you will find plenty to compare. If you are a bigger party, check availability early, because the choice narrows quickly.

Blandford Forum is a Georgian market town on the River Stour in north Dorset, and the lodges around it mostly suit couples. Most of the places are built for two people with a single bedroom, and a hot tub on the deck is the usual feature rather than a premium one. Four in five have one, and three in four accept dogs.

Larger places are a different matter. The biggest sleeps 16 across eight bedrooms and has its own pool, so a group booking costs several times what a couple pays. Log burners are less common, found in about three in ten places, and a sauna appears only once. Guest ratings are high, at 9.1 out of 10, which makes the choice less about quality and more about whether you want a quiet pair of nights or space for a crowd.

Features

The hot tub is the feature to expect here, with 16 of the 20 places having one. Gardens are almost universal. High chairs are offered by about two thirds, which helps if you are bringing a baby. Log burners and fireplaces are in six places and those are dearer, as are the swimming pool and private pool properties, which sit at the top of the price range. The single sauna is at a lodge priced mid-range.

By number of guests

Lodges for two are the bulk of the choice, with twelve of them, each with one bedroom. The bigger lodges have three bedrooms and cost roughly three and a half times as much a night as a couple's lodge. Few places fall between those sizes, so if you are a party of three or four you may have to choose between paying for a larger house or splitting into two stays.

Prices month by month

November and January are the cheapest months to go, with usual nightly prices at the lower end and a lot of dates still open. December costs about double, as the Christmas and New Year period pushes prices up. February is a little dearer than January, and March and April rise further, with April close to December levels. Availability changes too. Many dates are still free in the spring, so last-minute breaks are easier then. November has the fewest free dates of the six months, so book that month sooner.

Around Blandford Forum

Several nearby towns offer a wider choice if Blandford Forum is full. Poole has the most places, with 21, and Ferndown has 18. Lytchett Minster, Poole and Saint Leonards have cheaper starting prices than Blandford Forum itself. Sturminster Newton is smaller, with five places, but is the closest in feel, being a Dorset market town with quiet countryside around it. Ansty has seven places and is the dearest of the group to start with. Each is a short drive, so you can compare dates across several towns.

FAQs

Is Blandford Forum cheaper in winter?

Mostly, yes, with one exception. November and January are the cheapest months. December is much dearer because of the festive period. A week in winter usually costs slightly less than a week outside it.

Are there lodges for large groups?

Only a few. Most places sleep two, and a small number sleep five or six. The largest sleeps 16 in eight bedrooms and has a hot tub and pools. It costs far more per night than a couple's lodge, so it makes sense when the cost is split between many guests.

Do lodges here have log burners?

About three in ten do. They are usually in the dearer places. If a fire matters to you, filter for it in autumn and winter, as the choice is small.

Is it easy to find a last-minute break?

Often it is, especially in spring. Many dates in March and April are still free months ahead. November has fewer free dates, so a late booking is harder then.

How much does a lodge or cabin in Blandford Forum cost?

Based on the prices we check every day, a night in one of these lodges or cabins in Blandford Forum usually costs £140, and a week in winter around £1,659 (£1,715 the rest of the year). Prices depend mostly on the dates and the size of the property.
