We stayed for couple nights here and it was totally worth it. The views from the room were beautiful! The room was clean, hotel staff were friendly and everything is close by. We didn’t have a car so this was right place to stay since durdle door was close by and the bus drops you right across the street. We would definitely stay here again!

—1 night— An absolutely great location, where you can enjoy Lulworth after the charabancers have left. It was lovely sitting out on the veranda with an evening drink and a bite to eat. The room was spacious and comfortable. Parking arrangements were poorly described in advance, but the helpful desk staff sorted us out. A great stay.

The hotel is at an excellent location, the attractions are all within walking distance. The stay was not bad, but the internet signal was poor and there’s no hot water to shower. Staff was helpful in checking the hot water situation and we were told there’s a pipe burst situation causing the inconvenience.
