Kingston Country Courtyard

It was a very large room with settee and armchair. Bed was very comfortable. Large bathroom, but had a bath/shower. In common with every hotel I have stayed at there was no handrail in the shower. This is essential with a bath/shower arrangement for older guests, as otherwise it is difficult and dangerous to get out of the shower. Breakfast was excellent and nothing was too much trouble if you wanted something not quite standard. Restaurant decor was fine, but without any soft furnishings, hard floor and metal chairs, it was very noisy. We decided this was too much to spend there for an evening meal, so we cannot comment on the food. With a blue badge, we were allowed to park our car outside our room. The car park was outside the courtyard. It would be a trial to drag your cases from the car park across the gravel to your room. I'm glad we didn't have to do it. A pleasant garden gave views over the valley towards Corfe Castle. Not being in a town made it very quiet. Overall, a delightful stay and would certainly return.

We spent 5 nights here. Very welcoming staff, quaint sympathetically restored farm buildings for accommodation. Breakfast excellent. We had dinner 2 nights and the food was nice amd well executed but the restaurant seating is a little uncomfortable for evening dinner - metal chairs without arms. Very dog friendly and every member of staff made us feel welcome and highly valued. They went the extra mile every day and some staff had to wear a few different hats! We will happily recommend and come back when we can.

Loved it!

Nice accommodation in a wonderful setting with easy access to the areas we wished to visit in south Dorset

This is a lovely, rustic property with everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing break. The staff were almost all friendly and helpful and there when we needed them. The breakfast was excellent with very fresh, local produce.

Great stay in this unique place. Clean and comfortable room. Friendly welcome. Breakfast adequate. I booked the single room and the shower/bathroom/toilet combo was a bit wonky there-made for a slippery floor. Recommended nonetheless!

I had a lovely stay at this property, I stayed for 3 nights and it was very comfortable, quiet and the grounds were beautiful. The staff were always very happy and helpful. It’s also very close by to all the sight seeing you’d want to do in Swanage. Thank you!

Beautiful place with amazing view over Purbeck hills to Corfe Castle... The hotel is amazing clean and well positioned to visit the places Of interest. Go back in time to Old England as depicted by Shakespeare

Lovely 4 nights away. Friendly, attentive service. Fantastic food in the restaurant with a great breakfast. Room was spacious and very clean, warm and comfortable Some road noise and as it’s dog friendly you may hear the odd dog barking now and again. Views across the valley to Corfe Castle and the sea

Great staff, nothing too much trouble, excellent location, well worth a visit.
