Little Court, hotel in Charminster

Little Court is a delightful Edwardian Country House with fabulous gardens, just 1 mile from the centre of historic Dorchester, and just 20 minutes from the World Heritage ‘Jurassic Coast’.

Little Court is a lovely house set in wonderful grounds with lovely views. It was very clean and comfortable. Amanda is an excellent host and the breakfast was also very good. We stayed there to visit relatives who lived very close by. There is also a very good pub nearby (walking distance) which does excellent food and there are also some excellent walks.

The Sydney Arms, hotel in Charminster

Set in the lovely market town of Dorchester in Dorset, the heart of Hardy County, this traditional English pub provides 5 letting rooms finished to a high standard.

The room was basic but clean and comfortable, good shower but bathroom very confined, no toiletries provided other than towels and toilet rolls, tea and coffee available, bottom line friendly staff, good value for money in that all I needed was accommodation for the night.

It all had an authentic charm. Excellent value for money and would be very hard to better! Quiet, easily accessible location and also ideal for visiting Hardy’s Cottage close by.

    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.

    Very well placed for Dorchester.

    Very well placed for Dorchester. Hotel is set in it's own grounds so it's quiet and private but very convenient. Charminster itself seems very quiet. Had to go into Dorchester for evening meal. But it was a pretty village to go and run round in the morning before breakfast.

    All staff very friendly & helpful; breakfasts offer the usual good options including 'full English'. You have complete flexibility regarding access to the hotel. My dog (a Border Collie) slept in the car as he normally does when away from home. I exercised him in the extensive garden morning and evening. Excellent evening meals are available at The Sun Inn, 10 minutes walk down the road. The photo is of Little Court and walking on the Iron Age fort, Maiden Castle This was an enjoyable visit.

    The host, Amanda, was very kind and welcoming, showing us to our room and explaiing the faiclities on offer (including an outdor pool and tennis courts). The room was very clean with an incredibly comfy bed. The breakfast choices were good, with my choice of Full English being absolutely perfectly cooked an presented. The local pubs are a short walk away and, I'm told, Dorchester is only a 30 minute walk which, on a summers day, would make this an ideal base for exploration.

    Communication with the hotel was fabulous and the owner, Amanda, was super friendly. The pool was covered over (it was October) but we were told we could use it if we liked. The breakfast was a la carte with options like full English, veggie English, avocado on toast etc. The room was cosy and quite spacious with good tea and coffee facilities and plenty of biscuits.

    Lovely old building. Warm, friendly, helpful owners. Very clean, comfortable room. Excellent breakfast. The Sun Inn just down the main road is a fantastic pub restaurant. Easy walking distance to Dorchester. The outdoor pool area looks like it would be lovely in the summer!
