A lovely winter break in a perfect location. Staff went above and beyond to accomodate our requests during our stay, an extended family get together for a special birthday (8 people). We had four rooms for our family, good sized family room with double, single and sofa bed with nice sea peek; a twin with sea views; and two doubles, one sea view side. The hotel is a brick historic Victorian country house hotel set in a great elevated position in West Lulworth, a short stroll up from the cove. Rooms in the house are cosy and clean with modern decor and bathrooms. We all found the beds and pillows very comfortable and had a great sleep, despite the wild weather outside! There is a lovely spacious contemporary lounge/dining space which was great for our family to hang out together, with board games and bar. The hotel doesn't do full restaurant any more since change of ownership, they offer pizzas and I think a few bar snack type choices which we didn't try as we ate out locally. The continental breakfast was good, an optional extra, which is a buffet with pastries, pancakes, toast, cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, cheese, cold meats, good coffee in the lovely large orangery dining space which has beautiful views. Parking permits can be arranged via a code from the hotel for the main Lulworth car park with a small parking area at the hotel for unloading on arrival. A perfect January stay in a beautiful location. Reasonable value rooms. We would stay here again.

The room was great and everything we needed but we were in a building separate to main hotel. The shower while good did tend to flood bathroom. The entrance door was not very solid and difficult to lock/unlock particularly in the dark as outside light not working. The staff were very helpful and catered well for dogs. We’d forgotten dog bowl and there were spares. Overall a good stay but very pricey for what it was particularly as breakfast not included and only continental breakfast offered.

The room was large, the bed very comfortable. The view from the window was good too, considering the car park was right in from of the hotel! Breakfast was great. Staff were wonderful. Location was perfect. Didn’t give it 5 stars because: The decor definitely needs a refresh. Our room was cold when we arrived and the curtains weren’t long enough to tuck behind the radiator so the heat was going straight out the very old windows, one of which wouldn’t close properly. Bathroom radiator didn’t work, nor did the ventilation fan. Would probably stay again.

The hotel is in a beautiful location - actually much closer to Lulworth Cove than Durdle Door, but still in a cute little village. My biggest issue was the size of the room was tiny for a double (including the bed), and the fact it was so so noisy. If it wasn’t the dog running around above us with the occasional barking (interesting choice to have a dog on the upper floor, usually hotels have them stay ground floor), it was the cleaner slamming doors before check out effectively waking everyone up who was staying until check out. Hardly slept at all so would not recommend for a peaceful stay. Finally, the parking - is a problem. When you arrive there are spaces by the hotel which could be used first come first served but you’re not allowed to - instead you need to pay at the huge car park for a discounted rate of £5. To enable this you need to set up an account, etc. Again not clear when you’ve just paid through the nose to visit other of the Estates tourist traps. All in all, not a fab stay - but the welcome on reception was hreay

Room was clean, beds comfortable, but the whole place needs a serious refurbishment. Breakfast very poor. Parking close by in a public car park, but walk was uphill and up steps to hotel. Staircase steep in hotel. Would be difficult if elderly or have mobility problems. Website and false reviews VERY misleading. Disappointed.

Amy at the front desk was perfectly friendly, and the facade of the place looked nice. However, I felt the value for the price we paid for 1 night (250 USD) was discordant. The restaurant was closed for renovations, so we had to find somewhere off-site to eat dinner. There was a 10 pound charge per person if we wanted to have a continental breakfast. There is no parking at the property, so we had to pay 5 pounds to park in a dirt lot across the street. Thankfully we were there on a cool day. There was no AC in the room. Even though it was cool outside, inside was uncomfortably warm. We had the window open the whole time we were there, but air flow in/out of the room was not good. Because the window was open, we heard every passerby.
