Edwardian Country House with Award-Winning Breakfast and Three-Acre Gardens
Amenities
Little Court offers an outdoor heated swimming pool open seasonally, a tennis court with rackets and balls provided, and three acres of gardens that have been featured in prominent gardening literature. Guests have free access to the pool, tennis court, and extensive gardens with picnic areas and sun terraces. Ample free parking is available on site, and daily housekeeping ensures rooms are maintained throughout the stay.
Rooms
Room categories include King Rooms, Twin Rooms, and Deluxe King Rooms, with select rooms featuring four-poster beds. Each room has an en-suite bathroom, a hospitality tray with tea and coffee, and bottled water replenished daily. Allergy-free rooms are available, and all rooms are non-smoking with heating and tea/coffee makers included.
Dining
Breakfast is award-winning and prepared using local farm produce, with both continental and cooked options cooked to order. Special diet menus are available upon request, and wine or champagne can be ordered. The hotel does not serve evening meals, but the Sun Inn pub is a short walk away and offers carvery and à la carte dishes.
Location
Little Court is located one mile from the centre of historic Dorchester and twenty minutes from the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Nearby attractions include Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Chesil Beach, and Corfe Castle. A footpath parallel to the main road provides a safe walking route into Dorchester, passing the Sun Inn pub.

The three-acre gardens include a walled section with wisteria, hidden seating areas, and a view of the tennis court and pool. Tennis equipment (rackets and balls) is provided for guests, and the outdoor heated pool is available in warmer months.
