“This is a very nice cottage/bungalow in a great location.”

Very clean and well equipped. Unfortunately for us, the central heating was not working for over 24hrs so not quite as comfortable and cosy as we had hoped, especially after coming back from a coastal walk. (And compounded when the owner said they would "prefer" we didn't use the wood burner to keep warm!).

“We had an issue with the central heating not working, which we reported.”

The response was very good. Someone came out within an hour or so, and did a temporary fix which worked fine for us, and a couple of days later another engineer/plumber visited the property and made a permanent repair. We also notified them of water leaking through the kitchen ceiling during a day of very heavy rain. We put a saucepan under the leak, and once the rain stopped, so did the leak. It didn't spoil our enjoyment of the property.

“This is a beautiful cottage, clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and a lovely garden.”

It is perfectly located for excellent walks and exploring the fantastic coastline.

“Lovely comfortable cottage, very well appointed and with lovely views.”

However, there were a few niggles. The oven did not function at all well. It took so long to heat up that cooking was abandoned. The mattress protector was badly stained. This was noticed when stripping the bedding on departure. Quite unacceptable . Lastly the toilet brush was not clean.

“Wash basin hot tap loose.”

Toilet very slow to fill. Boiler very noisy had to shut doors when it was running on the evening. Patio door was hard to open & close, difficulty in locking & unlocking. All windows were very dirty on outside, had obviously not been done all winter, plus some double glazed units had blown. In the evening,the TV would switch itself off in the middle of the program we were watching. The duvet on the double bed was far too thick so we had trouble sleeping..an all seasons duvet would have been better so we could choose the warmth level. It was ideally located for lovely dog walks. We had a lovely meal in the pub which was walking distance. The area was really quiet, no traffic noise, dogs barking etc etc .

Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed the area and made the most of the local walks. It is a shame you did not report any of these issues during your stay as we would have been able to arrange for them to be rectified swiftly. We have since addressed the points you have included. We hope to welcome you back to Dorset in the future. Property Owner

“This is a cottage we will definitely return to”

“Only slight improvements needed as follows The property was lovely and would definitely visit again soon.”

Loved sitting in the garden looking out to the hills. The suggestions I have are as follows 1) toilet only half flushes and there is a constant drip into the bowl which needs addressing 2) single bed a bit uncomfortable and double bed duvet too thick for the summer, so I slept without it. 3) kitchen could do with another knife for cutting vegetables, and also couldn’t find any container to use with the microwave, eg to heat soup/beans etc. a Pyrex jug would be perfect.

“Comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

Lovely sunny garden, off road parking, very quiet location in a picturesque village. Nice rural view from the garden .Comfortable bed and nice quality bedding and towels.. Plenty of nice eating places nearby ....no need to drive anywhere in the evenings. Will definitely book again if and when we return to lovely Lulworth.

“Although we decided at the last minute, to kennel our dog, instead of bringing him with us, we were very pleased at how nice the accommodation was, given that it permits dogs.”

The location was good, and we couldn't believe how quiet it was. The proximity of the MOD range wasn't a problem either, though they did do evening manoeuvres on one occasion, but it was no problem at all. Only a couple of niggles - (1) I don't think previous guests had flagged up that the cafetiere plunger was broken and (2) we felt unsafe standing to take a shower, without a non slip bath mat. Consequently, we popped into a discount store in Weymouth and sourced our own items. However, that would in no way be a deal breaker, in returning to the property. We would be very happy to stay here again, and look forward to visiting the property on another occasion.

The property

Hill View is a delightful two-bedroom home perched in a serene area of West Lulworth in the Dorset AONB and welcomes three visitors who are looking for a coastal escape.

It is a split level bungalow and has off-road parking as well as an enclosed garden to enjoy the lovely views of Bindon Hill.

Enter your new home-away-from-home through the front door and descend to the lower level to find a fully equipped kitchen with all you need for a pleasant self catering stay.

Reminisce about the memories made or catch up with loved ones over a meal and a bottle of wine at the dining table in the living/dining room or move to the plush seating with views over Bindon Hill.

If you would rather spend your evenings outside, head to the outdoor space and relax with a good book or the while making plans for the rest of your holiday.

Choose from one of the two exquisitely furnished bedrooms on the ground floor when it's time for bed.

With a double or single bed, lots of storage, and lovely views, Hill View is sure to create a peaceful setting for everyone.

A sleek bathroom completes the ground floor.

It has an overhead shower so you can wake up feeling fresh and a tub so you can relax after a fun-filled day.

A variety of amenities are available in the village, including a convenience store where you can fill up on necessities and a warm pub called The Castle Inn where you can enjoy a hearty meal and a cold beer.

When you're ready to go exploring, visit Lulworth Cove, which is renowned for its distinctive geology and landforms and where you can see the remains of a submerged forest from the Jurassic period, and take the cliff top walk over to Durdle Door for a dip in the clear waters.

Spend some time at Lulworth Castle, a magnificent structure with a rich history that dates to the 17th-century.

Visit neighbouring sites such as Monkey World, The Tank Museum or Tyneham Village where you can explore the still intact church and school before starting off on the 1 mile walk to Worbarrow Bay for a picnic.

Studland Bay, a favourite with the locals, can be easily reached from Swanage and Wareham, as well as from Poole and Bournemouth via the Sandbanks Ferry, and offers stretches of soft sand, dunes and heathlands where a wealth of wildlife can be discovered.

Visit the historic town of Dorchester, which includes the Roman Town House, the Keep Military Museum, which houses military artefacts, and the lovely Borough Gardens.

Discover Dorset's beauties with a stay at Hill View.

WEST LULWORTH

Wareham 9.1 miles; Weymouth 14.7 miles

West Lulworth boasts some of the most dramatic geological features on the Jurassic coastline and arguably the most photographed locations in the UK.

There is an Lulworth estate information centre which offers an insight into how the cove and Durdle door were formed and Jurassic history of the region. If you tire of Cove and cliff top walks then Lulworth Castle is a short drive away and offers another glimpse at some more recent history, along with Tyneham Village, and Corfe Castle. This is a really special area and the village retains a lot of it’s thatched cottages and has a real air of a rural retreat.
