Large lodge style house, good space for large families /groups. Quite dated inside and basically furnished. Carpet tiles/lino etc. bathrooms could do with a refit but all reflected in the price. Good value for a golf trip or to explore the Jurassic coast.

Spacious and well laid out accommodation. Well equipped and comfortable. Ground floor accommodation with great accessibility. Only negatives were that heating was way too hot and couldn’t control, showers cycled randomly from boiling hot to cold and a lot of negative instruction signs telling us what not to do or couldn’t do gave it a bit of a negative feel.

The log cabin was stunning in beautiful surroundings. It was raining unfortunately for most of our stay but we still had an amazing escape. Having popped out to collect a takeaway from a local town we even encountered a deer on the hotel grounds, grazing and seeming unfazed by us. The only slight drawbacks were that I found the beds too soft for me personally. I would advise anyone staying to plan their eating in advance as the hotel resort is quite remote. The towns being a 25 minute drive away. Stunning scenery, just don’t expect everything to be on your doorstep

A very clean and spacious accommodation! A beautiful holiday home with everything you need for a comfortable self catered stay. Perfectly located for exploring the amazing jurrasic coast, only 20 minutes from the amazing Lulworth cove and Durdle door. The only negative is that the reception staff did not communicate much upon arrival, just handed over the keys and directed us to our lodge! Then again at check out, the receptionist was dismissive and didn't even ask if we'd had a good stay!

Thank you! Our stay in Lulworth house was unique. Everything in the house was up to standard, but unfortunately the weather and the storm created a lot of inconvenience. The damage to the electricity left us without the opportunity to prepare food, heating and hot water. Lighting and firewood were provided for the fireplace which helped us have a great time. We will definitely visit this place again!

Excellent facility for a joint family trip. The washing machine broke on the first day but they took our washing and did it all, very good, as we had two small children. Otherwise everything was great and the staff were very helpful. Good location to visit many places of interest and fun.
