“This was our first cottage holiday and we spent 7 nights in February at Little Ivy with our dog.”

I can only describe our stay as brilliant. The cottage was immaculately presented on arrival, absolutely everything you could possibly want was available including nice little touches like chilled bottle of wine, quality packet of biscuits, tea/coffee, fresh milk and even a jar of dog biscuits! The quality of furnishings was excellent even down to the Egyptian cotton sheets and luxury fluffy towels. The whole place was spotlessly clean and felt very inviting, it was warm, cosy and fairly quiet ...

The quality of furnishings was excellent even down to the Egyptian cotton sheets and luxury fluffy towels. The whole place was spotlessly clean and felt very inviting, it was warm, cosy and fairly quiet despite it’s roadside position. The Castle Inn next door provided a warm friendly atmosphere with excellent food (especially the Sunday roast). Lulworth Cove was a 15 minute walk downhill and provided great views and other very good restaurants especially Lulworth Lodge Hotel. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage and would certainly consider going back.

“My husband and I spent New Year at the cottage with our two dogs.”

We absolutely loved it! The cottage is cosy and has everything you need. Comfy bed, good quality bath towels and as it was Christmas the decorated tree was a lovely touch. We were really impressed by the fenced off gardens for both cottages as this is a huge help when holidaying with the dogs. The cottage is next to a fab pub, friendly staff and great food. Small disco on NYE but great fun! 10 minutes walk to Lulworth Cove through the beautiful village where there are more great dog friendly eateries. We explored so many walks from the cottage without using the car. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be back to Little Ivy, or the larger cottage next door with friends. Parking at the cottage really isn't an issue as some people have made out. We have a Volvo 4x4 and the people in the other cottage had a Land Rover Discovery and it was fine!!

- Mrs Hill, December 2018
“Lovely area, nice walks, good food in local pub, we stayed in December so it was a great time to walk the coast path, however, I expect it would be a very busy village during peak seasons.”

Cottage very comfortable, no one next door so parking and garden use was fine.

- Mrs Crerar, December 2018
“Lovely cosy cottage in the perfect location.”

Well-equipped and really clean and tidy. We had a great stay and will definitely be back at Little Ivy in the future. Highly recommend - thank you so much :) Stayed April 2018

- Mrs Clare Willmott,
“Little Ivy was exactly what we hoped for, cosy, charming and very clean.”

The cottage was absolutely lovely inside and the owners had made sure we had everything we could possibly need. It was so helpful to stay in a place where kitchen basics like washing up liquid, salt & pepper, bin bags etc were provided and you weren't having to bring a mountain of stuff just for a few nights. The milk, wine and biscuits were very much appreciated too. It was a short walk to the beautiful Lulworth Cove and from there a stunning walk to Durdle Door. We enjoyed our stay so much and would not hesitate to stay at Little Ivy again. Stayed February 2018

- Miss Blackadder,
“We chose Lulworth for our first family holiday.”

Little Ivy Cottage was PERFECT. It was the perfect size for the two of us, our 10 month old daughter and our dog. it felt very homely and comfortable. The house keepers were fantastic and gave us lots of details about the area on our arrival. There was also a dog box with treats, towels and spare leads, a bottle of wine and biscuits on our arrival which was lovely. It was very close to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, which were both excellent places. The location of the cottage was also good to get to coastal beaches and we covered a lot of the coast in our weeks stay. We have booked again for next year as we fell in love with Dorset and we cant wait to stay in Little Ivy Cottage again. Thankyou for making our first family holiday memorable. Stayed May 2017

- Mrs Bridget Farrell,
“This cottage was beautiful and better than we expected.”

Its location in West Lulworth was ideal with a pleasant walk to the cove and its amenities.The attention to detail was unbelievable from the bottle of wine for us, flowers, dog biscuits, bowl & towels to the hand soaps, cling film, tea coffee etc the list is endless and absolutely everything you could need. We have rented a lot of properties in the UK and abroad and this was the best equipped of them all.Thank you. Stayed March 2017

- Mrs Griffin,
“My wife and I loved our stay at Little Ivy - our dog loved it too.”

It was perfectly sized for us, contained all we needed, was clean, cosy and perfectly situated for our needs. West Lulworth & Lulworth Cove, for us was a perfect place to relax and recharge for a week with our dog. We will be booking again for next year without doubt - stayed October 2016

- Mrs Sarah-Ann Davies,

- Mrs Angela Bellenger,
“Lovely little cottage.”

Room for parking one car. Good size bedrooms and nice bathroom. Nice garden with patio furniture. Is on the main road but was not noisy. Weather cold while we were there so used the central heating. The cottage was warm within a few minutes. All bed linen and towels were lovely. Would recommend the place and stay there again. 10 minute walk to the cove and a real ale pub next door. Stayed June 2016

- Mr Kevin Foreman,
“We had a brilliant holiday.”

The service received from staff when booking the holiday was excellent. The cottage was beautiful in a wonderful location and everything went smoothly so we could relax and enjoy our break. Would recommend dream cottages to friends and use again next time we venture down that end of the country. Stayed May 2016

- Miss Ayers,
“Little Ivy is a lovely small cottage in a wonderful location.”

We had a perfect holiday there and would definitely recommend it. Stayed March 2016

- Ms Victoria Fox,
“Really lovely little cottage, very clean and cosy ideal for a family of three, or four if you have a little one needing a travel cot, the owners have thought of everything, there was even a box of towels, a bowl and a lead for your dog in case you forgot your own, some dog treats for the dog and even a treat for us (a nice bottle of wine in the fridge!”

) Pub nearby was an added extra, we ate there twice, the food was good and no worries about who was driving home! Ivy cottage next door can also be rented and sleeps six we think so you could have two groups of friends or family and take a holiday all together! Would love to stay again sometime. Stayed February 2016

About the location

West Lulworth

West Lulworth boasts some of the most dramatic geological features on the Jurassic coast line and arguably the most photographed locations in the UK. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door sit at the heart of this area and really are a must see. Lulworth Cove has many little café’s and beach side shacks serving local seafood, ice cream and other delights, as well as several restaurants and pubs from which to choose. There is an Lulworth estate information centre which offers an insight into how the cove and Durdle door were formed and Jurassic history of the region. If you tire of Cove and cliff top walks then Lulworth Castle is a short drive away and offers another glimpse at some more recent history, along with Tyneham Village, and Corfe Castle. This is a really special area and the village retains a lot of it’s thatched cottages and has a real air of a rural retreat.
