  • Delightfully spacious cottage with an elevated garden with a patio area and a lawn
  • Located in the beautiful village of West Lulworth within easy reach of stunning Lulworth Cove
  • Set within the World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast, a pleasant clifftop walk away from Durdle Door
Property code: OC-CHRIC

Discover picturesque Lulworth Cove from the comfort of this stylish holiday home, which sleeps up to eight guests. Stroll down to the pebble beach to go paddling, rock pooling or swimming. Or walk approximately 1 mile along the scenic coast to the famous natural limestone arch of Durdle Door, and return home to take in the glorious Dorset views from the top of the garden or to relax on the patio with a glass of wine. This inviting holiday home in West Lulworth is one of two holiday properties situated side by side.

 

Enjoy the clever upside-down design of this appealing coastal property. Find two of your bedrooms and your family bathroom at ground-floor level as you enter. Head up the stairs to your bright, inviting kitchen/diner/lounge to prepare dinner, dine at the table and then settle down together for the evening in front of a family film on TV; open the doors from the kitchen area on to the patio on warm days. Find your two additional, adjoining bedrooms as well as an en-suite bathroom, on the second floor above. As they are located in the eaves, there is some reduced head height. On sunny days, choose to relax out on the balcony or lounge in the patio area: keep an eye on children as they play on the lawn, which is steep. 

Visit fairytale Lulworth Castle and walk in the park here, approximately 3 miles from your holiday home. Take in the panoramic views out over the Purbeck countryside and towards the Jurassic Coast from the castle tower. Drive approximately 15 miles into Weymouth to shop in the seaside town, dine at one of its many restaurants, walk along the Georgian promenade or spend time at the harbour. Alternatively, drive 17.5 miles to Swanage, set on the beautiful Isle of Purbeck peninsula and known for its heritage railway.

I would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to stay by the sea in Dorset. Very well equipped and clean. Comfortable beds and plenty of sofas and chairs for a gathering of eight. We had nothing negative to say about this beautiful cottage.

We had a wonderful break at Christopher Cottage and I can honestly say they have thought of everything to make a stay so comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean and perfect. I would certainly go back again and would recommend it to anyone.

We had an amazing time at Christopher Cottage. It's a lovely house and a short walk to the beach. The weather was sunny all week and it was the most relaxing holiday we've possibly ever had. We've stayed at Lulworth several times over the years and Christopher Cottage was the best place we've stayed in.

A lovely, well appointed, comfortable house, perfect for three generations of our family. Parking on site, very useful. Only a few minutes walk from the sea, passing local shops and restaurants. Beautiful part of the country with lots to occupy the children . We all had a wonderful holiday.
