The Scented Botanist - North Dorset

During my stay in Blandford Forum, Keynaston Mill was conveniently located on the way home. I had initially intended to go for a walk, but found that the roads were not very pedestrian-friendly. However, it turned out to be the perfect spot for a leisurely Sunday morning coffee and a stroll through the nearby nurseries. The coffee service was efficient and the staff were friendly. An added bonus was the opportunity to purchase some coffee and perfume. The experience was not just about taste, but also engaged other senses, making it a truly personalized and enjoyable visit.

During our vacation, we decided to stop by this restaurant without any expectations, just looking for a lunch spot. To our surprise, we had an amazing dining experience. Every bite was a delight and we could tell the chef was a perfectionist in the kitchen. We will definitely be returning in the future. Special thanks to the lovely waitstaff who served us.

We were pleasantly surprised by our dining experience at this restaurant. During a recent trip to Bournemouth in rainy weather, we decided to find a nice place for lunch. As a wheelchair user, I made sure to check for accessibility and a disabled restroom. We were pleased to find a temporary ramp already in place when we arrived, despite the heavy rain. The staff was very welcoming. The menu was mainly vegetarian and we enjoyed a tasty mushroom soup followed by a vegan roll and roasted vegetables topped with a beautiful salad with edible flower petals. The desserts, a purple brownie and a vegan lemon cake, were both light and delicious. We look forward to returning in better weather to explore the garden.
