Parking: there is no parking on-site. The Hotel will provide a private Internet Link where you can Register for nearby Parking (100 meters away) at £3 per day. We used this and it was OK. Beaches and other scenic Sites are just a walk-away. Local Buses available for multiple destinations. Local Pub food excellent. We loved our stay.

Family home not a hotel!! Key point!! Super friendly people. Very helpful and chilled. Some communal areas needed a spring clean. Pool is lovely but not heated which is a shame. Location is unreal. Ice cream to die for!!

What a find! For some reason it didn’t quite click that the hotel was literally on Lulworth Cove until we got there. Gorgeous views, lovely swimming pool which we had to ourselves every time we used it and lovely Lulworth Cove beach just a minute’s walk away. Nice cafes and pubs all within a few minute’s walk so once the car was parked in the public car park just down the road it didn’t move till we left. Owners and staff all lovely people. We will be back next year.

We were unable to stay at this facility due to illness incurred on our trip . However, this understanding and workable business allowed us to obtain a refund for half the stay . Thank you ever so much . You have a perfect location for the outstanding area of West Lulworth. Again very grateful for your kindness

Average service with my payment

Hotel stay was good but we were 3 including my 2 year old kid and I paid extra 40 to hambury room eventhough we were not using too much energy and any of the extra bed. We enjoyed the breakfast very well. The pool which was allowed was not at all clean and we can’t even use it may be because off season they didn’t managed to clean. The wifi was not working on the first day and later we need to remind them the next day and she didn’t even bother to ask whether it is ok or not.
