The Willows, hotel in Shillingstone

Less than 10 minutes’ drive from Blandford Forum, The Willows enjoys an attractive village setting in the Dorset countryside.

Loved my stay here. I arrived Friday evening and was kindly given a pot of tea and some shortbread. The room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable! I was up and out early on the Saturday, but the host very kindly left out some cereal and fruit for me. I had an amazing poached eggs on toast for breakfast on Sunday. Beautifully located and lovely host!

St Leonards Farmhouse, hotel in Shillingstone

Boasting a garden and views of garden, St Leonards Farmhouse is a bed and breakfast set in a historic building in Blandford Forum, 19 km from Monkey World.

What's not to like?! Probably one of the nicest places I've stayed! From start to finish, everything was perfect! Amazing hosts Tania and Jon could not have been more welcoming and eager to make sure we had everything we needed. The whole house was beautiful with such attention to detail in every room and the garden. The bedroom was gorgeous (twin room), very homely with everything you could need, very comfy beds, kettle, hairdryer, heater, fans (which were needed) and a fabulous shower and even bath robes and nice big bath towels! The breakfasts were 100% the best I've had in a hotel, I tried the full english and the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, both cooked to perfection 👌 Thank you so much for looking after us so well, I can't recommend this place enough! Stay there! It will be the best decision you make!! 😁

The Swan Inn, hotel in Shillingstone

Located in Sturminster Newton, 35 km from Monkey World, The Swan Inn provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Very disappointing to find that breakfast and evening meals were unavailable, despite requesting these when I booked. The website and even the board outside referred to menu choices.

    The village is very accessible by car and well located for sightseeing; also good for walkers and cyclists as there are many paths in the area. The village itself has a petrol filling station, a pub and a a co-op at the far end of the (long!) village street. We visited Sherborne, Shaftesbury and Dorchester and found plenty of places to visit, including Thomas Hardy's birthplace, 2 castles and an abbey in Sheringham and Old Wardour Castle (follow English Heritage signs and do not trust your satnav for this one!). Also not far from the fascinating variety of the Dorset coast.
