Eco-friendly country house hotel overlooking Lulworth Cove
Dining
A hearty breakfast with a full English option is included in the room rate and served daily. The on-site restaurant sources ingredients ethically and offers special diet menus, including gluten-free and vegan options prepared on request. Packed lunches are available for guests who plan full-day walks along the Jurassic Coast.
Accommodation
The hotel offers nine rooms, including Standard King, Superior King, and the custom-built cabin called The Hideaway with a private veranda. Each room has an en suite bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and tea and coffee facilities with homemade biscuits replenished daily. The Lookout room features a four-poster bed and countryside views, while the Garden Room offers direct access to the garden.

The hotel sits half a mile from Lulworth Cove and 1.5 miles from Durdle Door, both on the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Guests can walk to the cove in under ten minutes via paved footpaths. The surrounding area offers hiking trails, clay pigeon shooting, and horse riding, with Dorchester and Weymouth reachable in a 25-minute drive.
Pet-Friendly & Sustainable Practices
Dogs are welcome in designated rooms and public areas, with staff known to offer sausages at breakfast for canine guests. The hotel uses eco-conscious toiletries free of harmful ingredients in all bathrooms, such as the sweet cardamom and orange range. Ethical sourcing is a focus in all food and beverage offerings, and the property provides complimentary welcome drinks to every guest.
Amenities
On-site amenities include a bar with a countryside pub vibe, a lounge with a wood burner, and a sun terrace with outdoor furniture overlooking the church and hills. Each room has a dedicated parking space in the onsite car park, and the hotel offers daily housekeeping and luggage storage.
