Traditionally the town was an important stop over between Weymouth Port and our London capital but now some of the town's fame can be attributed to Blandford Camp, the military base and home of the Royal Signals found 2 miles out of town. Most of the rooms are en suite, and nearly all enjoy views over the garden itself, with ground floor rooms having direct level access. The attractive landscaped and planted garden offers a haven of tranquility for the care home residents to enjoy whenever they choose.Operated by Royal Bay Care Homes since January 2004, this Residential Care Home has been substantially modernised with the addition of the luxurious purpose-built Garden Suite with its 9 single en suite rooms, all of which overlook the feature gardens."
