Nice hotel, wonderful location

Lovely hotel with friendly staff in great location. It has recently been taken over by new management and they are planning on tidying it up, which it needs in some areas. (For example frayed carpet on stairs.) But the room was comfortable and we were upgraded for free to a bigger room as there was space. Trevor and Scott were both ver helpful. Location perfect and next to some great restaurants and bars.

Lovely building only a few minutes walk from the Cove, with easy access to several restaurants near the water and absolutely lovely staff. Great views and a very quiet area, with access to Durdle Door trails, shared parking access to the lot closer to Durdle Door for those less eager to walk distances (£5 a day for three lots coverage), and a superbly comfortable bed.

Really lovely relaxing stay at the Durdle Door Hotel and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Friendly and informative. The hotel is spotlessly clean and offers an optional continental breakfast. Parking was available at a discounted rate which is very useful. The hotel is walkable to the cove, lots of eating places and the coastal path. We will definitely visit again!

This was a great location with sea views and the staff were lovely. We werent aware before we arrived that there was no operational bar or restaurant. This area and the terrace were lovely so it was a shame not to be able to eat there but we were advised of other places in the village. Be aware that food serving stops at 8.30pm in Lulworth, we got turned away from 2 places and only just got in at a third! I think the hotel is having a refurb in autumn and we would love to return after this has been done
