In the heart of the picturesque Dorset countryside lies Little Court, a gorgeous Edwardian country house offering a delightful escape from everyday life. Located in the village of Charminster, just a mile from the historic market town of Dorchester and a short drive from the stunning Jurassic Coast, this charming building is a bed and breakfast, but not how you would expect it. 

 Little Court offers a unique and upscale experience that might exceed typical expectations. Unlike many standard B&Bs, Little Court combines the coziness of an Edwardian country house with luxurious amenities such as an outdoor heated swimming pool, an all-weather tennis court, and beautifully landscaped gardens. The attention to detail in the décor and the award-winning breakfast prepared with local produce add to its distinctive appeal. 

The History 

Little Court is a beautiful example of Edwardian architecture, designed in the Lutyens style. The house is surrounded by three acres of beautifully maintained gardens. These gardens, which have been featured in books by the renowned garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, provide a serene landscape for your stay. 

Eight Beautiful Rooms

The bed and breakfast offer eight individually decorated rooms, each with its own unique charm. All rooms come with private en-suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, iron, umbrellas and hospitality trays with tea and coffee. Attention to detail in the amenities ensures a comfortable and luxurious experience for all guests.  One of the bedrooms features a luxurious grand four-poster bed, adding an extra touch of elegance.

Award-Winning Breakfast
