The Courtyard House

Dorchester, Dorset

8

The Courtyard House, a splendid property situated in Dorchester, Dorset, dates back to the mid-18th century and has been beautifully renovated to blend Victorian elegance with modern comforts. Accommodating up to 10 guests, it can be paired with its neighboring property, The Garden House, to host larger groups of up to 19 people. This semi-detached house offers expansive rural views, making it an attractive retreat for families or groups looking to enjoy both space and style.

Inside, guests are welcomed by a spacious sitting room characterized by high ceilings, tall dual-aspect windows, and a cozy open fire, perfect for relaxation. The modern kitchen is well-equipped to cater for all needs, featuring a dining table that seats up to 10, ideal for communal meals and celebrations. Additional conveniences on the ground floor include a utility room and a cloakroom with a comfortable armchair, enhancing the overall functionality of the space.

The property boasts four inviting bedrooms spread across the first and second floors. The first floor features a luxurious super-king size bedroom and a king-size bedroom, both with en-suite bathrooms. On the second floor, there are two more bedrooms—one with a double bed and the other with twin singles, each equipped with an additional day bed to accommodate extra guests. A shared bathroom is also available on this level, ensuring ample facilities for all visitors.

Located near the county town of Dorchester and close to attractions like Ringstead Bay, Weymouth Beach, and Lulworth Cove, The Courtyard House is perfectly positioned for exploring the beautiful South West of England. Guests can also bring one well-behaved dog upon request for a small additional charge. A high chair and travel cot are available if needed, and while the property offers internet access, it is intended for recreational use only, with the service speed potentially varying. The owners and Dorset Hideaways do not take responsibility for any internet issues that may arise during a stay.
