A nice welcome but highly overpriced for what you get. Wallpaper peeling, tatty old torn curtains, needs a repaint. The room was very small with old mismatched furniture you might see in a hostel. We were expecting more for £256 a night.

Lovely location!

On arrival Rory the General manager was at hand to take our luggage and gave us great Welcome. He was very helpful with information about the area we were in and gave us information about parking and places to eat. The Hotel at the moment is still in the process of being refurbished. So, yes there were a lot of painting, decorating and new carpets to be laid. However, the Dining area is one area that has been done and if the rest of the Hotel is done to that standard it will be excellent. Please don't be out off. We had a good stay here and Rory was a great host. We will be back again. Just so that you know the hotel is a very short walk to Lulworth cove beach and great walks.

100% Recommend!

Perfect place to stay for a weekend, we stayed for two nights (Couple and a dog) in a Standard room. Super close to everything in Lulworth Cove and West Lulworth and very easy to get to via Train from London to Wool and a short bus journey to Lulworth Cove. The service was incredible and very friendly, welcoming and accommodating, offering guidance and advice on things to do and places to visit.

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.
