We had a wonderful week in this beautiful and quite unique house. We were six adults, a toddler and a baby and there was plenty of space for all of us. We very much enjoyed the general ambience of elegance, Id say very unlike a lot of holiday rentals! The garden is fabulous with plenty of space and equipment. The location just outside Lulworth Read morecove is just right- away from the crowds and large car park but easily walkable to the cove. Perfect all round. Hide

I think there are a number of things that could be upgraded, but nothing to complain about. However, the shower facility in the second floor en suite needs checking. I would have liked some grab bars in the wet room and in the downstairs shower. I am not disabled, but I sometimes need a bit of extra safety things.

We had a great time on a family holiday. Lots of room for 8 adults, a baby and a dog, with plenty of sitting areas. 10 mins walk from Lulworth Cove, and nice walks straight from the house. Highly recommended and would happily stay here again.

We had a lovely week at the Old Vicarage and the weather was generally good enough to enjoy the beautiful garden. The house is very unique and we felt as though it was a real experience to stay there. We particularly liked the kitchen / orangery area and spent most of our time there. The location is fantastic and the dogs loved their walks down to Read morethe cove. We would suggest that the mugs and some of the crockery is replaced. Hide

A really spacious, comfortable property in a wonderful, quiet location. Shop just down the road for everyday essentials. Lovely short walk down to Lulworth Cove . We split our time between the cove and Weymouth which has a great beach, even the dog area, lovely harbour with lots of cafes and restaurants.

This house is set in a great location for the sea with sites like Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. There are great walks from the house. The house itself is full of character. The new orangery adds a comfortable sitting and dining area in addition to the grand dining room. The garden is a great place to sit and watch the views or read a book. OverallRead more, a wonderful balance of calm whilst being a relatively short walk to Lulworth Cove with is pubs and bay. Hide
