Steps. But beautiful.

The hotel staff are lovely, attentive without being cloying. I was late checking in (my family lives in the village and they had picked from Wool train station, and invited me to dinner) The concierge phoned me to check that I was alright. The weather was very wet, and the roads are narrow nearer you get to the bay. I thought that was sweet. When I arrived check in was easy, shown to my lovely big, airy room. A comfy double bed, built in wardrobe, ensuite bathroom with shower. Lovely. I was informed that the breakfast was continental in style rather than a hot breakfast. Not a big issue. My only issue was the amount of steps! Steep steps up to the hotel, and then a lot of short flights up and down to get to my room. Hotel could do with a little touch up here and there but nothing major. But the location was perfect. A five (5) minute slow walk to the cove, two (2) minutes to the restaurant’s and shops, ten (10) minutes to Lulworth. And Durdle door was a (40) forty minute walk (with photo and breathing stops) away .. very worth it. Overall a beautiful hotel, lovely staff. I woke to the sound of bird song and waves. A wonderful way to start the day.

A peaceful retreat

Lulworth Cove can be very busy during the daytime, but when the doctors have left it is a peaceful haven and this girl makes the most of it. With a view out to sea we found this to be a relaxing been of a place with a very reasonably priced simple breakfast offering. It is in bed of some tlc (the carpet on the stairs springs to mind), but otherwise a great place to stay.

Lovely location, and very welcoming staff. Room was clean and comfortable - only issue is that the walls are rather thin, so a noisy neighbour next door or on the floor above can make for an uncomfortable night if you’re a light sleeper.
