Lovely house, perfectly situated for Lulworth Cove, in a pretty village. Bright, clean and comfortably furnished. Secure back garden is perfect for dogs. Our host was very attentive and was able to solve a small problem in the neighbouring property very speedily. We would definitely recommend.

This was a fantastic stay! Location is great for the views of Lulworth cove & the durdle door. My 2 friends, my dog and I loved it here.. the house was very clean and comfortable. Great pillows! The castle pub down the road had the best roast dinner I think I’ve ever had. Highly recommend.
