Relax in beautiful surroundings. Located in the heart of the Purbecks between Corfe Castle and Swanage, Kingston Country Courtyard offers some of the most beautiful views in Dorset.

Fab hotel, gorgeous accommodation, room lovely and warm, great breakfast, staff very welcoming, plenty of spaces in the car park, a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery overlooking Corfe Castle at the back of the hotel ... I definitely plan to go there again.

Built by King Edward VII in 1877 for his mistress, Lillie Langtry, this listed Edwardian manor is a 5-minute walk from Bournemouth's cliff tops and approximately 1 mile from Bournemouth town centre.

We loved that the property had some historical meaning. The managing group was very responsive to our messages via booking.com. Location was good - short walk to seaside and then zig zag gradual way down to the beach.

    The location was spot on....close to the town and beach. Such friendly hosts.... Claire even offered us some chicken from the BBQ they were having. We've been travelling around the UK over the past fortnight and this was the most comfortable bed of the lot. We also loved the interior design. Good work.

    Vast amount of space for a Swanage property and no compromise on facilities. Two bathrooms, endless wardrobe/storage space, loads of coat hangers, a safe, fully equipped kitchen, blackout blinds where necessary, mirrors, comfortable beds, lovely balcony for the sunset, all your washing, ironing and cleaning facilities, not even a 5 minute walk into town, designated parking space

    The property is located close to the beach, the shops, pubs, and restaurants. There was a designated parking spot outside the property for when we wanted to go out and explore further afield which we did. On entering the apartment we were delighted with the accommodation, the cleanliness, furnishings, the comfort and overall welcome we felt (with a welcome gift from our hosts, a lovely cake and milk in the fridge). Our hosts seem to have thought of and provided everything to ensure a comfortable stay.

    Truly magnificent, unusual internal decore including sumptupus beds,generous bathrooms, theatrical collections of shells, glass, antlers, art. Don't mention the boxer in the room. Totally wonderful but intimate designer garden with many places to sit. Like Beauty & the Beast's place.
