Nicely furnished and clean two bedroom cottage in the heart of West Lulworth. Cottage has its own parking space and a pub nearby. Good accommodation, although the kitchen was far too hot this year due to the oil-fuelled Aga running continuously.Great location for coastal walks and a short walk to Lulworth Cove.

A beautifully presented house, well equipped and in a good location. Very spacious for a two bedroomed property.Situated in this attractive village with an easy walk to Lulworth Cove. Many other attractions close by.Several pubs offering food within in an easy walk although they are quite expensive for the range/quality of food on offer.

The Retreat was a beautiful,well equipped and comfortable cottage. Our only problem was the side window in the double window had a blind and no curtains. This meant we were woken up by light shining through the gap at the top and sides of the blind as it was set inside the recess rather than outside like the lounge blinds. Other than that it was perfect. Location was beautiful and really quiet but with easy access to local shops and pubs, restaurants and Lulworth Cove.
