Durdle Door Hotel
Staff were very helpful as my elderly sister suffers from dementia. The room was clean and well appointed, some areas were rather tired looking and in need of refurbishment. Great views from the bedrooms. Breakfast very good and catered for allergy problems.

2 bedroom accommodation in Holton Heath
The lodge was spacious & well equipped. Think for us it’s a late check in > 4pm ( our lodge wasn’t ready by that time either) and an early check out @ 10 am. So realistically it’s only a 3 day stay. But a clean site.
