Amazing accomodation, beautiful location

Comms were good from beginning to end and everything was easy and clear. The property was clean and well equipped a minor issue was wear and tear on the dining chairs and honestly the mattresses were too soft for my personal taste

Perfect cabin retreat.

Such a stunning location by a forest and next to great golf club if you play. Not that it's a requirement as these lovely cabins are perfect for groups trips and families. The cabins have everything you'd need and feels like a ski chalet with all the wood and sauna. Rarely do you get this sort of level of accommodation at such a good price. Would advise someone to book without hesitation. A car is probably best but otherwise near to lots of the coastal attractions eg Durdle Door and Corfe Castle etc.

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.

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!

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

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.

The properties are a great space and ample of bathrooms and toilets. However the lodge we had one of them was dated and tired and needed a renovation . The flooring and sofas were in need of a desperate change On a self catering basis having a kitchen and living room Upstairs was not ideal. Additionally the insulation is so poor between the wallls and floors , if one person is talking in the morning or evening everyone can hear !

All good, great for a big family trip to Dorset. But they could be responsive when communicating online - I tried reaching out via Expedia messaging and got no reply what so ever. Also very old and tatty beds, and hard pillows. Bring your own mattress topper and pillow if you are sensitive to bedding. Although Expedia says 9.30am check out, we were advised to leave by 10am. However would be nice if they gave us until 11am, like most other holiday homes.

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.
