Durdle Door Hotel

We booked two rooms while walking the coast path. Neither room had a working shower. Both produced boiling hot water that would burn.All we were offered was the use of another shower in an outside building. We declined. Tired building and the Manager uninterested in offering any support or refund. He just told us the rooms were due to be updated! My advice..Go somewhere else.

Stayed one night. The staff were wonderful and friendly. Property is a little aged and bathroom too small.

I had a lovely sea view the lady that checked me in was lovely and very helpful. The important stuff, peaceful , WiFi is good , phone signal not too bad car park is across the road and reduced rate at the hotel bit of a hill. I would stay here again did not have breakfast as it doesn’t start until 8am

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.

Unfortunately no cooked breakfast, no gluten free breakfast and no evening meals available. Room could do with updating and found it impossible to turn off one of the radiators

Location was excellent and the staff were incredibly helpful. Room itself was tired but was a great base.

Clean room, staff were so kind and helpful truely going out of their way to help us. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a lovely stay, beautiful position and our room was lovely.

Charming hotel great location Would be nice if they offered cooked breakfast

Amazing place in beautiful location. Friendly staff and lovely room. Excellent facilities and very comfy bed. Location spectacular. Well done! Absolutely beautiful back!

Great location, clean, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff

The breakfast was very limited and not good value for money.

Good hotel, perfect location for Durdle Door. We were eating out, so didn't try the breakfast / dinner options. Parking is easy and they help you get it cheaply.

Good standard

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.

broken bed, shower didn’t work, noisy room next door, woken at 1.30 am, Reported it but didn’t seem to bothered.

Booked last minute, fantastic service, we did not stay for breakfast,

We hadden de Deluxe driepersoonskamer in het bijgebouw: superruim met een écht bed voor de derde persoon (meestal is dat een opklapbed of stretcher). De badkamer was zeer comfortabel en de kamer bood uitzicht op zee. De auto kon gratis op het terrein staan. Helaas bleek het restaurant die avond gesloten, en moest voor het continental breakfast nog 9,95 p.p. worden bijbetaald. Maar al met al een heerlijk hotel. Het hotel ligt op een paar minuten lopen van Lulworth Cove, voor Durdle Door moet je een flinke heuvel over.

The place is very nice, the room with a sea view was perfect. A beautifully curated and inviting common space to relax and enjoy dinner.
