  • A stone's throw from natural beauty spots and many coast and countryside walks
Property code: OC-DC028

In a courtyard of Grade II listed farm buildings, in a quiet village location within West Lulworth, this tastefully renovated cottage is the perfect place for couples/small families to make the most of this beautiful county. Situated within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, guests can easily explore and discover the stunning coastline and beyond, from Weymouth to Poole. You also have Lulworth Cove with its unique, horseshoe-shaped bay within a mile. At the end of a busy day, you can snuggle up in front of the wood.

The white walls, cool tones and warm woods throughout the property create a contemporary, understated elegance that will enable guests to relax. The lounge/diner is bright and airy with views across Bindon Hill. To the rear of the ground floor, there is a spacious, well-equipped kitchen which leads out to the terraced courtyard with dining furniture. There is also a downstairs cloakroom/WC just inside the rear entrance porch. Upstairs, the immaculate presentation continues into the stylish king-size with vanity basin and twin bedrooms. There is a spacious walk-in wardrobe on the landing area. The good-sized bathroom is also contemporary and has a separate bath and shower.

With the South West Coast Path on your doorstep, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the Jurassic coastline, including the walk from Lulworth Cove to Durdle Door. For something more urban yet still on the coast, the popular seaside town of Weymouth is 15 miles away; its Victorian esplanade, seaside activities and range of attractions provide something for everyone. Also worth a visit is the National Trust’s historical Corfe Castle and village (11 miles), from here you can catch the train to the seaside town of Swanage. Lulworth itself also has a range of shops/eateries to choose from. For families, there is Monkey World and The Tank Museum almost on your doorstep.

We found the property to be in a lovely area. Close enough for the walks we wanted to do. Lovely cottage but found it in need of a really good clean. It wasnt dirty but more dusty and lots of cobwebs which is not really a complaint. Although there was plenty of utensils for cooking and cookware it was all in need of a good clean and looking at oldeRead morer cutlery was off putting as it all needed a good clean. Not a decent enough duvet on beds for the time of the year. I would use the property again Hide

Additionally I was unhappy with the check in time of 17.00 this is 2 hours later than our previous stays in Norfolk and as the check out was 10.00 it allows 7 hours for cleaning etc. The cold temperature of the cottage made our stay uncomfortable. The cleaning was poor and cobwebs were in the Venetian blinds and lamp shades. The kitchen was also poRead moreorly cleaned inside the cupboards . It was such a shame that a beautiful cottage, great location was not the cosy cottage we were looking forward to. Hide

Overall a very pleasant stay. The cottage is in a great location, well equipped, and has a homely feel. The welcome gifts were a nice touch. We had a fantastic time - there is so much to see and do within such a short distance. Sadly a couple of aspects of cleaning could have been done better - but this didnt stop us from enjoying ourselves.

This cottage is well situated. Nice and peaceful to enjoy the sound of the birds and to collect your thoughts. The kitchen is well equipped and plenty of seating in the garden. A bench in the small front garden to enjoy the afternoon sunshine.

We had such a wonderful time at Carefree Cottage and enjoyed it so much! The Cottage is cozy, the Lulworth Cove (very impressive nature!) can be reached within a 15-minutes walk. Within 5 minutes you can go to the local pub (really tasteful food!). The cottage was a wonderful place to stay: it has possibilities to sit outside, the kitchen is well eRead morequipped, the house was well cleaned. Even our dog felt very comfortable! ;) It was our first visit in England, but surely not our last! Hide

A nice enough cottage & good position with convenient public transport. Good parking & secure for a dog but the garden & yard could do with a tidy up . A garden umbrella would enable you to sit out in the hot sun.

The cottage was just like the photos and met our expectations. Situated in a beautifully quiet lane, waking to bird song and not traffic was a real treat, and without street lights the night sky was spectacular. The Lulworth Cove Inn has a great atmosphere and fantastic food.

Quiet location, about 20 mins walk from the cove. one direction along the coast is closed for walking most week days (open weekends), so take note if you want to walk this direction. Lovely walks along the coast towards Durdle Door. If you fancy a longer walk, recommend catching the local bus from outside the Castle Inn pub, and take it to OsmingtoRead moren. Then there is a lovely walk (approx 13km, 3 to 4 hours) back along the coastal path back to Lulworth. Hide
