Kingston Country Courtyard - 4-Star Hotel in Kingston (Dorset)

Bedrooms surround two beautiful courtyards, each en suite room featuring stone walls and exposed beams. The one honeymoon suite, The Granary, is provided complimentary for wedding couples and includes an enormous bath. The Sawmill Restaurant occupies a converted barn with large windows overlooking the courtyard, while the garden offers panoramic views toward Corfe Castle and the sea.

The Sawmill Restaurant serves locally sourced produce, largely from within 20 miles, prepared with an international twist. A bespoke menu service is available for guest events, tailored by the in-house culinary team using local ingredients. Breakfast includes a continental buffet plus cooked-to-order full English with local bacon and sausage.

The 16th-century Purbeck stone barn serves as the main wedding venue, accommodating up to 130 attendees. The private Granary honeymoon suite is included at no extra cost for wedding couples. Julie and the team coordinate planning, and on the day Aaron and Ed provide attentive service, with a hog roast option for catering.

Dogs are welcome everywhere except the kitchen, with pet bowls, free dog towels, and poop bags provided. Families have access to board games, a kid-friendly buffet, and grocery deliveries for self-catering. The property offers wheelchair-accessible accommodations, a designated smoking area, and a family-friendly atmosphere with ample outdoor space for all ages.

The hotel sits between Corfe Castle and Swanage, with a bus stop at the driveway end for access to Durdle Door and other attractions. Walking tours, bike tours, and live music performances are offered on-site. From the garden guests can see the steam train passing through the valley toward Corfe Castle.
