What a great place to stay!!
It is so quiet and relaxing located in beautiful countryside.
Excellent locally resourced food.
Extremely welcoming staff.
Spacious accommodation with updated bathroom.
I highly recommend Kingston Country Courtyard!!
I was expecting a room but what we got was more of an apartment. Very pleasantly surprised ! The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was fantastic. My only negative was that the room could've done with a bit more ventilation as it got very warm at night. I would definitely recommend anyone, particularly dog owners to stay here. We will return.
Lovely accommodation in a peaceful setting. Staff were welcoming and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff and basic infrastructure are sound as a pound.
Speaking of which, the costs of staying here were less painful than for many Hotels in the area.
This Mid-September stay, (early sunset and cooler weather), pushed us into spending time in rooms which would have only been used briefly in midsummer.
Room 1: The Dairy; lacked storage shelves (or Drawers) for storing clothes. It's not an easy room to ventilate and it was musty.
Room 2: Carpenters 1; Great design, the Wet Room has a floor tiling issue which is "in hand" for sorting out. The Sofa had been wrestled into submission by "former guest activity" and needs TLC or painless despatch.
We enjoyed the Restaurant.
The owners have a policy of using local produce and selling local booze. It worked well except that the Bottle Conditioned Ale (Not something widely known about these days) wasn't sold as such and hadn't been allowed to settle before sale.
A selection of Local Cyder compensated for the beer issue and lead us into wide a ranging menu. I'm not a Chillie lover but there was plenty on offer. The Burgers were good and enjoyed by us. Fresh caught fish was available as a special.
Remember it's the end of the season: as a misquoted movie star once said, we'll be back.

Lovely location and proximity to coastal walks. No louge area and tiny wet room so everything gets wet when you shower.
Basically clean but there was black mold in the bathroom. The back of the bathroom door was grubby. The table in the bedroom hadn't been dusted with dust and hair left on it.
The bed was comfortable with good quality bed linen.
The service was very good with friendly and helpful staff.
Nice location.
Would benefit from an update in the bathroom and bar/restaurant area.
Overall we had a good stay.
The staff were welcoming and attentive. The room was beautiful, cool, clean and very large. The view from the garden was breathtakingly beautiful. The whole stay was so peaceful. The onsite restaurant was sourced with high quality, local produce which was lovingly crafted. The breakfast was out of this world. I can not fault our stay.

The best location! The cottages were exceptional! We loved the rooms, the beds. Everything was just as described. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our family of 5 fit perfectly in the 2 bedroom plus living room. The grounds were beautiful with the view of the castle at the end of the property.
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.
