The hotel staff are lovely, attentive without being cloying. I was late checking in (my family lives in the village and they had picked from Wool train station, and invited me to dinner)
The concierge phoned me to check that I was alright. The weather was very wet, and the roads are narrow nearer you get to the bay. I thought that was sweet.
When I arrived check in was easy, shown to my lovely big, airy room. A comfy double bed, built in wardrobe, ensuite bathroom with shower. Lovely.
I was informed that the breakfast was continental in style rather than a hot breakfast. Not a big issue.
My only issue was the amount of steps! Steep steps up to the hotel, and then a lot of short flights up and down to get to my room.
Hotel could do with a little touch up here and there but nothing major.
But the location was perfect.
A five (5) minute slow walk to the cove, two (2) minutes to the restaurantâs and shops, ten (10) minutes to Lulworth.
And Durdle door was a (40) forty minute walk (with photo and breathing stops) away .. very worth it.
Overall a beautiful hotel, lovely staff.
I woke to the sound of bird song and waves. A wonderful way to start the day.
