very conveniently located near durdle door. Beautiful shore and walking trails nearby. Since the place is new, some renovation was ongoing hence quite noisy. Staff was very friendly and cooperative. Would go there again!!
From check-in to check-out the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was perfect for our needs and for exploring Lulworth. We had a great stay and would definitely return.
Everything was great with the hotel and the staff were lovely. Our only issue is that it’s not very clear where you’re supposed to park especially when we arrived in the dark. The hotel should specify the name of the car park on the information provided.
Beautiful location! So close to the cove and Durdle Door. Great walking paths and viewpoints nearby. The rooms were comfortable and the staff was very nice.
We had a one night stop-over at the newly opened/re-opened hotel.
There were a few issues with decor but overall the large, dog friendly double room was VERY comfortable
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.
Great location and friendly staff, breakfast was a real highlight and excellent value. Subsidised car parking saved a lot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was large, the bed very comfortable. The view from the window was good too, considering the car park was right in from of the hotel! Breakfast was great. Staff were wonderful. Location was perfect.
Didn’t give it 5 stars because:
The decor definitely needs a refresh. Our room was cold when we arrived and the curtains weren’t long enough to tuck behind the radiator so the heat was going straight out the very old windows, one of which wouldn’t close properly. Bathroom radiator didn’t work, nor did the ventilation fan.
Would probably stay again.
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!
