Staying in a sizeable market town like Blandford Forum can be good for holidaymakers because there is everything that people need on the doorstep; shops, pubs, eateries, entertainment and the market. One of the joys of visiting new places in England is discovering new towns and comparing the difference with our own home towns. There are various holiday homes to rent for a few days in Blandford Forum, also in the small villages on the outskirts such as Winterborne Stickland, Winterborne Clenston, Bryanston, Pimperne and others.
The holiday accommodation could be small country cottages, amazing barn conversions or huge mansions that are wonderful for family celebrations and corporate lettings. Do take a look at the properties; most have free Wi-Fi Internet plus there will be a range of leisure facilities such as hot tubs, swimming pools, tennis courts, games rooms and more.
A percentage of the properties are dog-friendly, especially the country homes which have big gardens and nearby places to walk dogs.
Hambledon Hill is a popular place to climb for would-be hillwalkers. It overlooks Blandford Forum and those who manage to get to the top are rewarded by panoramic views of the Dorset countryside. People are welcome to take well-behaved dogs although it can be quite steep. Take a picnic with you. At least with self-catering accommodation, organising a picnic is very easy. Many people follow the route from the village Child Okeford which is north west of town.
