The Museum Inn  

Tucked into the Dorset countryside on the edge of the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, between Blandford Forum and the village of Farnham (Chettle is close by). Nearby draws include Larmer Tree Gardens, Rushmore Park and Shaftesbury, with Salisbury and its cathedral a short drive away.

A 17th‑century country inn with eight beautifully appointed en‑suite rooms — four in the pub and four in the old stables. Rooms mix antique darkwood furnishings and modern touches: flat‑screen TVs, tea & coffee with homemade biscuits, luxury Feather and Black bedding plus Egyptian cotton sheets, and a standout General's room with floor‑to‑ceiling French windows and a four‑poster bed.

Cozy pub bar with a roaring log fire, terrace and garden for country-view chill, a library and barbecue area, plus a banquet hall for events. Practical perks include free on‑site parking, complimentary wireless internet, concierge services, luggage storage and a snack bar/deli — all delivered with that warm country-inn vibe.

Complimentary high-speed wireless internet across the property and a banquet/meeting space available for small events or private dinners.

Home to a 2‑Rosettes restaurant focused on seasonal British fare and local ingredients, plus a lively bar pouring local ales, imported drafts and a well‑curated wine list. Cooked‑to‑order breakfasts are served daily (8:00–9:30) for a fee, with room service and light deli options available.
