"A lovely winter break in a perfect location. Staff went above and beyond to accomodate our requests during our stay, an extended family get together for a special birthday (8 people). We had four rooms for our family, good sized family room with double, single and sofa bed with nice sea peek; a twin with sea views; and two doubles, one sea view side. The hotel is a brick historic Victorian country house hotel set in a great elevated position in West Lulworth, a short stroll up from the cove. Rooms in the house are cosy and clean with modern decor and bathrooms. We all found the beds and pillows very comfortable and had a great sleep, despite the wild weather outside! There is a lovely spacious contemporary lounge/dining space which was great for our family to hang out together, with board games and bar. The hotel doesn't do full restaurant any more since change of ownership, they offer pizzas and I think a few bar snack type choices which we didn't try as we ate out locally. The continental breakfast was good, an optional extra, which is a buffet with pastries, pancakes, toast, cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, cheese, cold meats, good coffee in the lovely large orangery dining space which has beautiful views. Parking permits can be arranged via a code from the hotel for the main Lulworth car park with a small parking area at the hotel for unloading on arrival. A perfect January stay in a beautiful location. Reasonable value rooms. We would stay here again. "

"Absolutely loved our weekend at the Dower House! Amazing location surrounded by nature, the building is so beautiful and our room was huge and had every comfort. All the things you don't find in chain hotels are here - four poster bed, comfy sofa, coffee table and chairs sat amongst a wonderful backdrop, dark and quiet at night for a great sleep. And not to forget the amazing and genuine owners, Tim and Rosemarie, and Teresa who served a great breakfast "
