Comfortable property in a brilliant location .

Wonderful location, great family house.
As a group of 4 adults and 1 child this property was just right for what we needed - beautiful location, plenty of space and well-equipped for every eventuality. Thank you for a really memorable holiday. We'll be back!
This property is in a quiet residential area, with access to the Lulworth ranges and coast path on your doorstep. It is well equipped, spacious and clean.
We have a lovely stay at this property, it had everything we needed and easy to park. Road was lovely and quiet with amazing views across to the fields. We left the car and had lovely strolls to and from Lulworth Cove, a truly wonderful place. We also visited Durdle Door which as beautiful as the photos you see. The local buses (Jurassic Coaster, open top buses) were accessible just at the end of the road and easy to get to Weymouth and Swanage. Looking forward to our next visit to the Jurassic Coast next summer, hopefully a longer stay.
A great house in a lovely location for beach, kayaking, walking and chilling. The house is well set up with everything you will need for your stay. Friendly, helpful neighbours and excellent communication with the owner. Would thoroughly recommend and may well rebook in the future.
We’ve had a great holiday in west lulworth! The house is spacious, perfect for families. Kitchen is complete. It could be a bit more cleaned in the house, although the bed linen was fresh.
We had lovely weather and visited lots of beaches in the area. tyndale and Kimmeridge were favourite. Tankmuseum and monkeyworld are Nice to visit. Thank you Angela and family for this lovely stay!
We booked the property a second time. It is very neat and clean. The rooms are spacious, perfect for families. The kitchen is very well equipped, ideal for self-catering. Nothing was missing. Ideal base for walks to beautiful Lulworth Cove, Mupe Bay, Durdle Door and Man O' War Beach. Many thanks to Angela! Such a nice place, lovely!
Very large wardrobe hanging space and plentiful supply of hangers.
Great to have two wc's and two showers.
Very good water pressure, providing a pleasurable shower experience.
Super dishwasher.
Appreciated cleaning products being available.
Very interesting books.
This is a lovely little property. It's not the height of luxury but is exactly as described "Comfortable and practical, with goal of offering affordable family accommodation". It was perfect for what we needed - walks, pubs, restaurants, village, parking, peace & quiet. Thank you to Angela who looked after us from afar and Pat who was on hand for any query or question. We very much look forward to coming back (if it's available, as it's the best value for miles around).
Gemütliches Haus in bester Lage zu vielen Ausflugszielen
Ein gemütliches Häuschen mit allem, was man braucht. Die Küchenausstattung ist mehr als ausreichend (auch wenn vor unserem Aufenthalt die Spülmaschine kaputt ging und nicht repariert werden konnte). Die Lage am Ortsrand von West Lulworth ist sehr ruhig, der Küstenwanderweg und Lulworth Cove sind super zu Fuß erreichbar, auch die Touristenattraktion Durdle Door mit schönen Stränden ist quasi vor der Haustür. Auch ein netter Pub ist nur 5 min zu Fuß entfernt. Die Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin war sehr nett, sie hat immer schnell geantwortet. Wir haben uns als 5köpfige Familie wohl gefühlt.
Wir haben uns im gemütlichen Haus sehr wohl gefühlt und hatten in der direkten Nachbarschaft eine ganz hilfsbereite Dame. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Der Ort bietet fantastische Wanderungen zu bezaubernden Küstenabschnitten.
grande maison avec un jardin très agréable.située a 20mn de la plage de galet par chemin piétonnier
seule bémol, le manque de volet ou rideaux opaque, on est réveiller tôt par le jour
We really enjoyed our stay. House location is fab and inside was very clean and comfy, it's more than enough for family of 4. Kitchen is newly done and fully equipped, same as bathroom. All in all, we had a lovely time and would stay again if visit the area.
It's a lovely house with everything you need for a comfy stay. Location is almost unbeatable with footpaths opposite leading up to the range walks, and down to the Cove. Very friendly and helpful owner and neighbours.
Great pub at the end of the road.
Would definitely return.
The cottage is warm and cosy with a terrific kitchen and in a quite fabulous location. Walks are direct from the door to Lulworth Cove and beyond - so it a a super place for those who love the outdoors. The check in via the owner online and the next door neighbour in person , was easy and it was super to have the neighbour there should we need it (not that we did but she sweetly checked everything was all right for us). Also it gave us flexibility on time of arrival as we travelled from London after work. The beds were comfortable and the power shower upstairs was great. Also parking outside the house was easy and stress free. Overall a great , good value property that I cannot recommend highly enough.

About the host
Hosted by Angela Matthews Siegrist
We are a British/Swiss Family living in Switzerland. Angela moved to Switzerland in 1995 when she married. Our house in Lulworth remains a much loved English home base where we enjoy spending time in UK and is close to Angela's father near Bournmouth.
Why they chose this property
Lulworth is our English home which we visit as often as we can in our holidays. We love to spend time in this beautiful area and are very happy to let the house so that others can explore this region.
What makes this property unique
The house is located in a quiet residential dead-end road with views over fields and with direct access on foot to The Ranges, which when open at weekends and during school holidays have wonderful coastal walks and views. The house itself is not of any achitectural interest and it doesn't have any special features, but makes a great base for family holidays and short breaks in this wonderful part of the country.
