A beautiful building set it a large, peaceful garden.

A beautiful building set it a large, peaceful garden. It had a relaxed and homely feeling, helped by the warm, friendly attention that we received from the owner,Amanda. Lovely bedroom with wonderful views over the garden and surrounding countryside, and the breakfast was served in a room with garden view. My wife and I enjoyed our stay immensely and will look forward to returning soon.

Charminster is a small village in Dorset.

Charminster is a small village in Dorset. The village has a characteristic Old English atmosphere and is full of charming historic cottages. We ate at the Sun Inn and at The Gamekeeper - both are excellent. As long as you have a car, it's easy to get around. For us the best activity in Charminster was walking.

Charminster is only a small village and the only facility is...

Charminster is only a small village and the only facility is the Sun Inn which was excellent for evening meals. The Inn is only a short distance from Little Court. Charminster is only a short distance from Dorchester which has a lot of facilities both attractions and places to eat. It was unfortunate that during our stay the road into Dorchester was closed due to roadworks and the diversion route was quite long.

We had a lovely time at Little Court. The accommodation was very comfortable, with beautiful grounds to walk around and relax in. Amanda was an excellent host—warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious and set us up perfectly for the day. The hotel’s location was ideal, just a short distance from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, making it a great base for exploring the stunning Dorset coastline. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful location in quiet countryside but with good links by road for places to visit. The house itself was stunning and the interior and gardens were full of character - far above the standard hotel. The owner, Amanda, was very friendly and welcoming.
