The hotel is very nice and the staff very kind and nice too. The room was kind of small and we could hear the noise of the room from the top up of us, so it wasn’t tranquil. The surroundings are so amazing.

Lovely building only a few minutes walk from the Cove, with easy access to several restaurants near the water and absolutely lovely staff. Great views and a very quiet area, with access to Durdle Door trails, shared parking access to the lot closer to Durdle Door for those less eager to walk distances (£5 a day for three lots coverage), and a superbly comfortable bed.

Really lovely relaxing stay at the Durdle Door Hotel and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Friendly and informative. The hotel is spotlessly clean and offers an optional continental breakfast. Parking was available at a discounted rate which is very useful. The hotel is walkable to the cove, lots of eating places and the coastal path. We will definitely visit again!

100% Recommend!

Perfect place to stay for a weekend, we stayed for two nights (Couple and a dog) in a Standard room. Super close to everything in Lulworth Cove and West Lulworth and very easy to get to via Train from London to Wool and a short bus journey to Lulworth Cove. The service was incredible and very friendly, welcoming and accommodating, offering guidance and advice on things to do and places to visit.

It started when I rang the hotel a few days beforehand asking do we need to book restaurants the man said no need then we found our hotels restaurant wasn't up and running and we had problems getting in elsewhere the hotel had no lifts and the room was very pokey for the extortionate amount of money breakfast wasn't included and only continental won't be coming here again

This was a great location with sea views and the staff were lovely. We werent aware before we arrived that there was no operational bar or restaurant. This area and the terrace were lovely so it was a shame not to be able to eat there but we were advised of other places in the village. Be aware that food serving stops at 8.30pm in Lulworth, we got turned away from 2 places and only just got in at a third! I think the hotel is having a refurb in autumn and we would love to return after this has been done

A peaceful retreat

Lulworth Cove can be very busy during the daytime, but when the doctors have left it is a peaceful haven and this girl makes the most of it. With a view out to sea we found this to be a relaxing been of a place with a very reasonably priced simple breakfast offering. It is in bed of some tlc (the carpet on the stairs springs to mind), but otherwise a great place to stay.

A nice welcome but highly overpriced for what you get. Wallpaper peeling, tatty old torn curtains, needs a repaint. The room was very small with old mismatched furniture you might see in a hostel. We were expecting more for £256 a night.
