Lulworth House in The South West

Sleeps 20, Bedrooms: 10

Under the thatch, over the cove

Lulworth House is firmly in the category of dream home - if your dream includes a beachside setting, a thatched roof and an acre of gardens. The indoor swimming pool, cinema room and Sonos sound system just add to its appeal.

The first thing to catch your breath is the location. Within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, overlooking Lulworth Cove in Dorset, it’s a snapshot of a perfect England. Drag your eyes from the view to take in the calming, light-filled living area, where you can enjoy cocktails at the bar, fabulous meals around the dining table and cosy chats in front of the open fire. Break away from the crowd to discover the upstairs cinema room and library and the downstairs games room and swimming pool. 

And what a swimming pool! A saline pool, heated and huge, with a paddling area for the little ones; if it weren’t competing with the views, it would be the star of the show. The pool room opens onto a large terrace and a garden for outdoor games. The living area above opens on to its own terrace, where you can enjoy sunny afternoons soaking up spectacular views.
 
Spend your days exploring Thomas Hardy country, where every turn is rewarded with scenes described by the great author, as well as abundant wildlife and amazing views. Visit the magnificent Durdle Door, the Jurassic beaches and Lulworth Castle. Return, tired and happy, to ten gorgeous bedrooms with super-king beds and ensuite shower rooms - plus a couple of luxury roll top baths. Lulworth House is a 5-star coastal escape for large family gatherings, corporate events, yoga groups and memorable celebrations. Whatever the occasion, it’s a dream house in an unbeatable location.

Guest reviews

Lulworth House is a place to make lifelong memories - plenty of space to chill and read a book or enjoy the many sofa areas and have lovely conversations with family or friends. Sam was very helpful and at the end of the phone if we needed anything. The pool is stunning and the location is amazing if you want to get away from it all and enjoy the most beautiful area in Dorset.

Fran, London

Stunning, amazing - wow! This house was a joy to stay in. The attention to detail was incredible. Every guest room had a theme and every ensuite was unique! The house provided for everything and if you ever did need anything then the house manager was on hand! The location is superb in the small cove inlet area of West Lulworth and the views amazing! Not to mention the pool and games room. Highly recommended.

James, Bath

Amazing!! That’s the only word I can use. The hospitality and everything was just perfect. The house manager Sam, was so helpful and always so responsive with questions I had. I celebrated my engagement and birthday party here. Really spacious and the swimming pool and games room is definitely the highlight. Kept everyone entertained during the rainy days! Will definitely be going again.
