Located in the popular village of West Lulworth and within easy reach of amenities and the coast, this stylish house has an enclosed garden, balcony and parking and is ideal for family holidays.

Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, this family-friendly end of terrace cottage is set between Weymouth (15 miles west) and Swanage (16 miles east) in South Dorset. It’s made for Jurassic Coast adventures (1 mile) offering an ideal home from home welcome after a great day out. You’ll find the convenience of off-road parking for one car, plus a pub and shop within a mile. And you’re in easy reach of snap-happy Lulworth Cove (1 mile), and sandy Mupe Bay Beach (1 mile) where you can marvel at chalk cliffs and see the fascinating scatter of Mupe Rocks.

Follow a flight of steps up to the entrance of this handsome holiday property, decorated in contemporary coastal-style with sandy tones, sunny shades of yellow and harmonious wood furniture. From the open-plan living and dining room, take two steps up to the sleek kitchen (note: low ceiling) and cook up a storm with everything you need to hand. With two family bathrooms, everyone can relax in this homely retreat. Sink into squishy sofas in the living area and watch favourite films, and settle in to dreamy bedrooms, a cosy twin, a double bedroom with views from a balcony, and a bunk bedroom - ideal for children. On sunny afternoons, dine alfresco in the fully-enclosed tiered lawned garden.

Potter around Lulworth village and feel the holiday vibe in this picturesque setting with Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Discover popular Man O’War Beach (1.5 miles); visit the shingle beach framed by cliffs at Ringstead Bay (11 miles); and surf or study rock pools at Kimmeridge Bay where you can also learn about conservation at The Wild Seas Centre (8.5 miles).

The cottage is delightful, very clean and all services function properly. The main bed (mattress) was a bit hard to sleep on, but everyone's taste is different. The decor and furnishings are excellent throughout and it has a nice shower. All very comfortable. Parking is close which is important.
