    Great location, lovely staff.

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Paint peeling in bedroom, water dripping from ceiling during the night. Expensive but it was bank holiday and the prime location was worth it.

    Great convenient location, lovely breakfast room, very friendly staff, good easy-to-use assistance with paid parking arrangements.

    Shower not powerful. Rooms not noise proof, lots of creaking floors, toilet flushing and talking from other rooms can easily be heard.

    Our room was particularly cramped, barely able to move around two single beds and slanted roof made even harder. Other rooms looked more spacious though - maybe we just had the last (and smallest) room available. Simple breakfast was £9.

    Amazing views and wonderful location.. Fantastic views from both bedroom and from breakfast conservatory. Only 4 mins walk from the beach and in lovely village. Helpful and friendly staff.

    The WiFi was bad, they didn’t have any dinner or lunch options, the walls are so thin, you can hear nearly everything through the walls.

    Amy, the Manager. She was helpful, went over and beyond and so friendly. She was what made our stay worth the while.

    The hotel had lovely rooms and guest dining / seating area overlooking the sea and the hills. The only comment would be that in the heatwave fans were needed and also a proper coffee machine. Two things that would not put us off returning.

    Lovely hotel, perfectly placed in Lulworth Cove! Amy welcomed us with a full heart and kindness (particularly as my little lad was super excited and just running around the place), Amy helped keep him entertained / contained whilst we checked in and sorted out the parking discount. We will certainly be back !
