The view from the cottage was breathtaking, and we loved sitting on the deck, taking in the stunning scenery. The reception rooms were beautifully furnished and spacious, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy for us to prepare meals during our stay. We also appreciated the wide selection of books and DVDs, providing entertainment for everyone. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with lovely local walks right at our doorstep. It truly felt like a home away from home, with a cozy and welcoming ambiance. we had a wonderful experience at the Old Reading Room and would highly recommend it to others.

Epic location with jaw-dropping views of Corfe, handy pub across the road. Quirky furnishings and fully equipped for self-catering. Perfect space for our dog to roam.

We had a great Christmas stay with beautiful views and a comfortable cottage. The location was perfect for our planned activities and there was a convenient pub nearby. The owner was responsive and gave us great restaurant recommendations.

The smaller double bed was too soft and uncomfortable to sleep on. there was a radiator next to the bed that could get dangerously hot.

Great location, lovely stone cottage, fantastic facilities, interesting art, home from home, epic view.

It was all superb.

Comfortable cottage with spectacular backyard view and ideal location. Convenient pub with great food across the street. Responsive host with excellent restaurant recommendations. Lovely place for a relaxing stay with dogs. Great garden and a fantastic base for a nearby wedding.

We had a blast at the Old Reading Room! the cottage was charming and full of character, and the view from the backyard was absolutely spectacular. We're people who love karaoke and casinos, and we were thrilled to find that the location was ideal for these activities. the nearby pub, Scott Arms, was not only convenient but also had great food. the cottage itself had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable self-catering stay. We particularly loved the sunny conservatory and the excellent selection of books for both adults and kids. it was an incredible experience.

Felt very cared for, no reason to complain.

The Old Reading Room in Kingston was the perfect location for our few days of walking with the dog. The cottage was clean, cosy, and felt just like home. The view of Corfe from the garden was simply amazing, especially during sunsets. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the sunny weather allowed us to enjoy the lovely garden. The nearby pub was friendly and added to the charm of our stay. We explored Corfe Castle and enjoyed feeding baby starlings from our cafe table. We also visited the picturesque Swange with its epic views and clean beach. a truly unforgettable and unique experience.

Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

our recent stay in Kingston was amazing! Even better than our previous visit. The Old Reading Room exceeded our expectations with its cozy cottage, breathtaking views, and well-kept garden. We didn't want to leave and have already recommended it to friends and family.
