• Mark (8/5): Good - Breakfast was excellent. The room was comfortable. Convenient location. Excellent provision of facilities for microwaving , eating takeway food etc. - very practical and well thought out. The shower. Couldn`t figure out what the designer had in mind with this installation. Two circular recesses in the tray with the drain plug in between and shower screen covering one half -- strange ! Also controls difficult to figure out resulting in getting a cold spray from the overhead unit whilst trying to turn off the moveable head and figuring out how to turn off was tricky.

• Bannister (10/5): Exceptional -
• Neil (8/5): Very good - Excellent breakfast. Location very convenient to the centre of town. The hosts, Jerry and Liberty, were very welcoming and very knowledgeable about the local area. N/A
• Anna (7/5): Comfortable stay, very close to Blandford town centre. - The room was nicely decorated with thick curtains and blinds. Comfortable bed and bedding. There was a ceiling fan which was a bonus. The breakfast was good and freshly cooked. The shower didn't work properly. Poor water flow and we weren't able to get the temperature right, either to hot or cold. The bathroom had mould in places. I also had to clean poo off the wall behind the toilet roll.
• Marc (8/5): Very good - We had a wonderful couple of nights at Portman Lodge. It is situated in a great location, only a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Blandford Forum. The hosts are welcoming and helpful. Breakfast includes a variety of options and I can personally recommend the French Toast. The wife asked me to recreate it as soon as we returned home. Portman Lodge with be a our first choice if we find ourselves in Blandford Forum again.
• Teresa (9/5): Lovely B & B with great facilities. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend. - Very nice room, although a little small, however, excellent communal rooms. Was really nice to have a kitchen area to eat our takeaway. It was a very hot weekend and our room was south facing. The ceiling fan was very efficient though and kept us cool.
• Nev (9/5): Superb -
• Janet (10/5): Clean and comfy and friendly -

• Nigel (8/5): Nice place to stay for a few days, we were made to feel very welcome. - Excellent breakfast. Very convenient and simple system for getting into the house and room. Nicest have a guests kitchen upstairs. Plenty of parking space. Very friendly staff, thank you. We were there at a very hot time and although the ceiling fan worked, our room was still very hot. It would have been nice to have had flat sheets for the beds, rather than a duvet. The stairs quite steep and it would have been nice to have a lift, since all the bedrooms are on the first floor.
