Room was clean, beds comfortable, but the whole place needs a serious refurbishment. Breakfast very poor. Parking close by in a public car park, but walk was uphill and up steps to hotel. Staircase steep in hotel. Would be difficult if elderly or have mobility problems. Website and false reviews VERY misleading. Disappointed.
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.

Amy the manager was great. But the room was very basic for £150
Amy at the front desk was perfectly friendly, and the facade of the place looked nice. However, I felt the value for the price we paid for 1 night (250 USD) was discordant. The restaurant was closed for renovations, so we had to find somewhere off-site to eat dinner. There was a 10 pound charge per person if we wanted to have a continental breakfast. There is no parking at the property, so we had to pay 5 pounds to park in a dirt lot across the street. Thankfully we were there on a cool day. There was no AC in the room. Even though it was cool outside, inside was uncomfortably warm. We had the window open the whole time we were there, but air flow in/out of the room was not good. Because the window was open, we heard every passerby.
Tired looking facility with tears in carpet and dirty windows. Certainly not worth the £200 per night cost of the room with no breakfast included

Location of the hotel was amazing with only few minutes walk to lulworth cove.
The hotel was ok.
I do not have wifi because it cannot reach to the room
The room itself when i stayed was cold. The window in my room is not double glaze
Just about ok, breakfasts were not good, unable to have any hot food, kitchen not running.£9.95 for a cold buffet type breakfast wasn't good, we ended up eating breakfast at a local cafe.
Hotel decor in places needed some attention, in our room 4 the wall paper was coming off the wall
Lovely clean room & helpful staff. Upgraded to a sea view room for free which I was so pleased about

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!!
It started when I rang the hotel a few days beforehand asking do we need to book restaurants the man said no need then we found our hotels restaurant wasn't up and running and we had problems getting in elsewhere the hotel had no lifts and the room was very pokey for the extortionate amount of money breakfast wasn't included and only continental won't be coming here again
