Pub Accommodation in Cranborne, Dorset

Thomas Hardy stayed here regularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, referencing the pub as the ‘Flower-de-Luce’ in Tess of the D’Urbervilles.

Today, our nine en suite guest rooms combine traditional character with contemporary comfort, offering elegant pub accommodation in Cranborne at the heart of Dorset. For those looking for a country hotel in Dorset or a refined countryside stay near the New Forest, the Fleur de Lys provides history, warmth and calm in equal measure.

Guests are welcomed with tea, coffee and freshly baked goods from the kitchen or something stronger from the bar if you prefer.

Breakfast is thoughtfully prepared each morning, making the Fleur de Lys a comfortable base for exploring Cranborne Chase, the surrounding Dorset countryside or nearby market towns.
