West Lulworth stay

The property was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with more than adequate parking arrangements. The one item missing from the inventory was a hair dryer. It is in an ideal location with walks from the front door and the Castle Inn at the end of the road being a good local to go to. For those enjoying a good carvery the Countryman Inn at East Knighton is well worth a visit as is the Italian Kitchen in Wareham for nice Italian food. I would certainly stay here again.

Thank you Fiona. It is a great pity about the new development, but once the building is completed things will calm down again probably. The main thing is the direct access to the cliffs remains unchanged, even if the view from the house is not quite so far reaching.

Fantastic family holiday home

We’ve had a great holiday in west lulworth! The house is spacious, perfect for families. Kitchen is complete. It could be a bit more cleaned in the house, although the bed linen was fresh. We had lovely weather and visited lots of beaches in the area. tyndale and Kimmeridge were favourite. Tankmuseum and monkeyworld are Nice to visit. Thank you Angela and family for this lovely stay!

Lovely place, best for families

We booked the property a second time. It is very neat and clean. The rooms are spacious, perfect for families. The kitchen is very well equipped, ideal for self-catering. Nothing was missing. Ideal base for walks to beautiful Lulworth Cove, Mupe Bay, Durdle Door and Man O' War Beach. Many thanks to Angela! Such a nice place, lovely!

Perfect location - close to beach

We have a lovely stay at this property, it had everything we needed and easy to park. Road was lovely and quiet with amazing views across to the fields. We left the car and had lovely strolls to and from Lulworth Cove, a truly wonderful place. We also visited Durdle Door which as beautiful as the photos you see. The local buses (Jurassic Coaster, open top buses) were accessible just at the end of the road and easy to get to Weymouth and Swanage. Looking forward to our next visit to the Jurassic Coast next summer, hopefully a longer stay.

Good location. Quaint. Well stocked with crockery/ pans utensils etc. plenty of maps/ guides. Not terribly clean. Fridge was dirty and smelled of curry. Bedside tables were very dusty and the one in main bedroom was sticky from a possible spill of drink. Also no replacement bin bags for the kitchen. No big drama!

Exactly as it describes

This is a lovely little property. It's not the height of luxury but is exactly as described "Comfortable and practical, with goal of offering affordable family accommodation". It was perfect for what we needed - walks, pubs, restaurants, village, parking, peace & quiet. Thank you to Angela who looked after us from afar and Pat who was on hand for any query or question. We very much look forward to coming back (if it's available, as it's the best value for miles around).

This is a perfect location for some amazing walks in a beautiful area. The house itself has everything you could need in the kitchen. The bedding was clean and the beds comfortable. Because it was quite cold while we were there we were able to adjust the heating easily, keeping the bedrooms cool and the living area warm. The parking isn’t exactly on site as stated but a few yards away in a crescent. It wasn’t a problem for us as we’re pretty fit “oldies” but could be if you have issues carrying your luggage from the car to the house. Angela was very easy to contact on WhatsApp as we had difficulty opening the key lock on arrival. The tiny lever needs to be depressed and pulled to open the box. We would definitely recommend this property for all ages, it’s spacious, has lots of beds a large kitchen table and comfortable seating in the living room.thank you Angela.

About the host

Hosted by Angela Matthews Siegrist

Host profile image

We are a British/Swiss Family living in Switzerland. Angela moved to Switzerland in 1995 when she married. Our house in Lulworth remains a much loved English home base where we enjoy spending time in UK and is close to Angela's father near Bournmouth.

Why they chose this property

Lulworth is our English home which we visit as often as we can in our holidays. We love to spend time in this beautiful area and are very happy to let the house so that others can explore this region.

What makes this property unique

The house is located in a quiet residential dead-end road with views over fields and with direct access on foot to The Ranges, which when open at weekends and during school holidays have wonderful coastal walks and views. The house itself is not of any achitectural interest and it doesn't have any special features, but makes a great base for family holidays and short breaks in this wonderful part of the country.
