“Lovely cottage in prime location.”

Fully equipped. Slightly surprised as the cottage was a relative new build, which wasn't what we expected from a thatched cottage, hence smaller than we anticipated especially the garden.

- Mrs Lightowler, July 2020
“The parking needs to be more highlighted as a small car space.”

very tight for medium car

- Mr Harrison, July 2020
“This is an amazing cottage in a fantastic location.”

It had everything we could have wished for and was extremely comfortable. The short walk to Lulworth Cove or much longer walks along the coast are great. The surrounding countryside has so much to offer and we had a wonderful holiday with our dogs. A special mention for Jacks Cafe and the Castle Inn pub for providing fantastic food and being dog friendly. Will be recommending to friends and family.

- Ms Niebergall, March 2020
“The cottage was beautiful ,Furnished and fitted to a very high standard.”

The only problem we had as other customers was no shower in main bathroom.We managed well with the parking for two cars although tight.Loved location to Lulworth Cove.Enjoyed exploring the area.Thank You for letting us stay for New Year.

- Mrs Stych, December 2019
“The cottage was welcoming, warm and clean.”

We had to turn the heating down as we found the cottage very warm, but, not a problem. Parking is an issue; the garage is fine for small cars and cannot fit 2 cars on the drive. I would hate to think where visitors park during the peak season. Lots of lovely walks and places to visit.

- Mrs Swinden, November 2019
“Cottage was spotless - cleaner than ever before .”

very comfortable and as expected from description We were Disappointed by sheets being worn with holes , summer weight duvet so cold at end of October , and canvas falling off wall ! We have stayed many times before and these issues have never been a problem . Cups were all tea stained on arrival .. I washed sev times in dishwasher and it would have been helpful if there was bicarbonate of soda so they could have been cleaned easily,

- Mrs Greenwood, October 2019
“The only criticism is the on suite to the master bedroom could do with a window as there is a smell of mould in there.”

Had a very comfortable stay & will defiantly come back. The cottage is very clean & well presented. Such a lovely friendly peaceful village & very pretty. Lulworth Cove is stunning & had a lovely tea room looking over the bay. Perfect holiday thank you.

- Miss Cobb, September 2019
“We had an issue with a broken fridge after our first night.”

Nobody even arrived until late in the evening as he was on another call. Once the fault was identified it was another 3 days until we recurved s new fridge of any worth. We were given a small table top fridge on day 2 but it was tiny. This is not good enough for a self catering holiday. I know it was sorted eventually and compensation will be paid but it had s major effect on the first few days. Also a shower riser that was broken in the en-suite and mould on walls and in the shower tray. We ran out of toilet roll on day 4 and had to buy our own. 2 lights not working in the kitchen, I replaced 1 bulb but the other light over the sink, the internal wiring was broken. Lots of hand wash containers at each sink but this ran out all but 1 by day 5. A lovely house in a beautiful location but please pay attention to the details.

- Mr & Mrs Ballam, August 2019

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry that you encountered these issues during your stay. When we ordered the new fridge freezer it was with next day delivery however this was delayed by the company and for this we do apolagise. With regards to the toilet roll and hand wash, as we are self catering we do not actually provide these items. We will leave one toilet roll per toilet and a small amount of hand wash to start you off but after that you would need to provide your own. We have been in contact with the housekeeping team to discuss the cleanliness and light bulbs and this will be looked into. We hope you had an enjoyable holiday. Thank you Sykes owner relations
“Fantastic spacious clean and well equipped cottage.”

Easy to get to the sandy beaches of Swanage, Weymouth and Studland and within 5 mins walk of Lulworth Cove. We had a fantastic week!

- Mrs Freeman, July 2019
“A really beautiful location and cottage.”

The garden was smaller than I had anticipated but was okay for 2 dogs. Having a week of sunshine a major plus, would definitely stay again.

- Mrs Drage, July 2019
“The cottage is exceedingly well furnished and equipped, in a very good location just north of Lulworth Cove and so readily accessible to the South Coastal path.”

It is quiet, and the small back garden provides a parking space for one car -- and another car can be parked in the garage. It also is a very please (not overlooked!) spot for sitting in the sun -- and we were fortunate to have plenty of that. There is a table with six chairs there. At first we had some difficulty with the taps in the washbasins, but a phone call to the local agent soon sorted us out: these taps were of a design that we had not met before. Again, the heating programme is slightly complex: another call to the agent brought a plumber who came when we were out and left us a note which partially resolved the problem. We could not get the DVD to work, but the TV reception was excellent. There are many places of interest to visit within easy reach of West Lulworth, and we made full use of our National Trust membership.

- Dr Biggs, May 2019
“Booking the cottage online was very easy and we were impressed with the photographs of the accommodation.”

The descriptions provided were detailed and the booking experience was straightforward. As the cottage was booked online there is always some anticipation as to whether the accommodation will match up to its description; we can honestly say that Lulworth Cove cottage exceeded this in every way. Spacious and family friendly and very tastefully decorated and furnished. Very well appointed kitchen, with everything you could need. Bedrooms were presented very well with plenty of storage. Bathrooms were clean and family friendly. Garden small but enough room for two children to entertain themselves in. Car parking space is ideal off the road, as Lulworth is really difficult to park in. We have a large family car and had no problem fitting it on the driveway. The location is superb, with easy access to various amenities and areas of interest. All in all the icing on the cake for another brilliant holiday in Dorset. Would certainly recommend anyone to visit this property. Our first time using Dream Cottages and this lovely cottage and will certainly be using it again in the future. Many many thanks!!

- Mr Hartley, May 2019
“The garage parking is very tight and only fits a small car.”

We had a Peugeot 2008 and it was difficult to park and get out the car. But that was a minor problem and did not reflect badly on a very nice, comfortable modern cottage.

- Mr Dent, April 2019
“We loved the location of the cottage.”

Ideal for walking to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Lovely modern cottage. Children’s room was smaller than it looked in pictures but still comfortable. Easier drive to master with two smaller cars. Despite this, a great location and cottage.

- Dr Adkins, April 2019
“Very pleasant, comfortable, well maintained cottage in a good location.”

We would certainly like to use it again.

- Mr Weight, March 2019
“What a lovely cottage we stayed in at Lulworth Cove, I couldn't have asked for anything more.”

My family of 6 stayed here to celebrate my mum's surprise 60th birthday. The cottage had everything we need for the week we was there. There was no complaints from any of the family. Lulworth was a very pretty village too. Stayed April 2016

- Miss Sally Matthews,
“Lovely cottage in a perfect location Stayed July 2015”

- Mrs Hawley,
“Lulworth Cove Cottage was well equipped and a comfortable base for a holiday in Dorset.”

The facilities in the cottage were of good standard, there was always hot water and everything worked well. It looked exactly like the pictures! As there is accommodation for 6 a shower over the bath would add to the facilities. Otherwise we would very happy and our stay was very comfortable, thank you. Stayed July 2015

- Mrs O'Brein,
“We were delighted with this cottage, set in a beautiful part of Dorset.”

West Lulworth is a pretty little village just a short walk from the cove. The cottage was exceptionally clean and very well equipped. The only problem we encountered was reversing into the gated driveway, which would have been a lot easier if it was just six inches wider! One of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. We would certainly recommend. Stayed October 2015

About the location

WEST LULWORTH

Wareham 9.1 miles; Weymouth 14.7 miles

West Lulworth boasts some of the most dramatic geological features on the Jurassic coastline 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 beachside 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.
