Its not easy to find a comfortable, good quality residence for an extended family of 20 to stay at but this exceeded our expectations! Having also booked the property next door, we had lots of space in a home away from home. Facilities are excellent and we had a wonderful BBQ on a really high quality gas barbecue burner in the Courtyard which was a really good location - enclosed so younger children were safe yet spacious for bigger ones and the adults. Delightful decoration within and an excellent nights sleep in comfortable beds. With wonderful views who could ask for more! We'll be back!!....and a big thank you to the owners who were discreet but there if you needed anything.

Our stay at courtyard house was truly wonderful. We made a lot of use of the kitchen facilities, which were better than your average holiday stay! The house was tasteful, comfortable and everything we were looking for. Thank you so much for hosting us.

We stayed at the Courtyard House in July 2021. It was perfect for a group staycation. The house is beautiful and stunningly decorated. We also found the location great for getting to the surrounding areas (Lulworth cove etc) and made the most of the spacious courtyard for outdoor dining and drinks. Our host Morag was lovely and very helpful both in advance and during our stay and we loved being in such a beautiful setting next to Came House. Would highly recommend.
