Top Lulworth Cove Hotel Reviews

Belhuish Farmhouse

Belhuish Farmhouse

10/10 Excellent
"This property is unique and rare - owned by an innkeeper who welcomes you to his table with warm hospitality and decades of history to share. Mr. Miller is a wealth of information and retired thatcher. This is not a place for you if you need a well-appointed hotel to feel good about leaving your home. This is a historic property with purbeck flag stones and Welsh slate on the kitchen floor. The stove is as wide as your arms. There are wild pheasants in the fields and silent nights nestled in a hidden valley a bit off the main road. This a place where ruins of the past sit on the land beside a welcoming farmhouse. Great for introverts, writers, couples, families, and solo travelers. Backpackers will love it."

Classic Holiday Home for 6, relaxing family getaway near Durdle Door

8/10 Good
"We planned a 2 night stay, booked based on the photos online. Property was clean, check in great. Our only downside was that the property had been converted from a 2 bed to 3 bedroom and it made space in the bedrooms really limited in size. Most of the advertised photos were from previous changes and showed more space."
