One side is a traditional pub vibe, log burner and pool table, good beer etc and then restaurant on the other, a lot more modern looking but still with a traditional feel.

What Guests Said About Charminster:

  • 10.0

    Charminster is a small village in Dorset.

    Charminster is a small village in Dorset. The village has a characteristic Old English atmosphere and is full of charming historic cottages. We ate at the Sun Inn and at The Gamekeeper - both are excellent. As long as you have a car, it's easy to get around. For us the best activity in Charminster was walking.

    Charminster is only a small village and the only facility is...

    Charminster is only a small village and the only facility is the Sun Inn which was excellent for evening meals. The Inn is only a short distance from Little Court. Charminster is only a short distance from Dorchester which has a lot of facilities both attractions and places to eat. It was unfortunate that during our stay the road into Dorchester was closed due to roadworks and the diversion route was quite long.

    We had a lovely time at Little Court. The accommodation was very comfortable, with beautiful grounds to walk around and relax in. Amanda was an excellent host—warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious and set us up perfectly for the day. The hotel’s location was ideal, just a short distance from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, making it a great base for exploring the stunning Dorset coastline. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    The bed was the most comfortable of all the hotel beds I have ever slept in. Seriously snooze-worthy. Amanda's check-in is quick and takes seconds. There was no check-out: I just left!. Very laid-back. Good breakfast served cheerfully. Spacious bathroom.
