From the Super Snug bedrooms - to the Lodge Suite boasting panoramic views over Lulworth Cove. This modern beachside hotel offers comfortable accommodation; good food and friendly service, with the relaxation of stunning sunsets and the sound of the gentle of the waves. Just wanted to thank Edward and Daria at the Lulworth Lodge and their amazing team for the wonderful hospitality and comfortable stay at the Lodge.  I felt perfectly at home and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful ambiance, the delicious food and the great location.  I specifically wish to send my thanks and best wishes to these amazing staff members:  Debbie in HK Claire Fatime  Ellie  Radu in HK Charlie at the Bar  Phoebe  Flossie  I look forward returning to Lulworth Cove again someday soon. In the meantime I pleased to say that my son Taha Bawa and his fiancée Priya Burci will be joining you all end of the month.  I wish you all a wonderful weekend!  Warm regards,  Nilofar

The guest house offers a spa experience, with its sauna, hot tub and spa facilities. The guest house also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. It was a lovely little spot with a nice view of rolling hills. The sauna was nice but took a long time toheat up. The hot tub was really nice. It was great having a separate living room/kitchenette since we were travelling with a baby.
