Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were cosy and cottagey with a lovely view overlooking West Lulworth village, making it a perfect retreat. Although some rooms might be hot and stuffy, mine was cool enough with windows left open. The service provided throughout my stay was top-notch, with staff being helpful and efficient. The location is ideal for visiting the Jurassic coast with beautiful views across the countryside, and it's within walking distance to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. The dining experience was a real feast of fresh produce, with plenty of delicious options. The hotel's facilities were excellent, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel offers comfortable and dog-friendly rooms, with an enjoyable atmosphere in a good location to explore the area. The dining was delicious and set up well for the day, but the rooms would benefit from soundproofing and en-suite updating.
The hotel is a gem located just a short walk from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, offering outstanding beauty and private parking. The rooms, while cozy, may need a bit of attention in certain areas at the back. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The dining experience was top-notch, with delicious meals served in a beautifully decorated dining room. Overall, a wonderful stay in a prime location with excellent service and dining.
