After a day exploring the attractions of South Dorset, return to the chic comforts of this luxury holiday home in West Lulworth, which welcomes families, small groups and two furry friends. The top-floor bedroom, with its four-poster and en-suite, is a delight, as is the patio with a swing seat and fire pit.
With underfloor heating throughout the open-plan ground floor, this stylish three-storey property is a cosy retreat all year round. From the well equipped kitchen it’s just a few steps to the dining table and then to the lounge area, where you can relax in front of the Smart TV or enjoy quiet time with a book. Upstairs there’s a family bathroom, a twin bedroom with ample storage, and a king-size bedroom with a wardrobe and en-suite shower room. Head up to the top floor and you’ll find the superb master bedroom, with a king-size bed, Smart TV, fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and a window seat to enjoy the rural views. Step out of the double doors in the lounge and you’ll find yourselves in a sweet patio, safely enclosed for hounds and small children, where there’s a BBQ and a dining table for six. On the terrace a few steps above, you can relax on the swing seat or sit around the chimenea and enjoy a sociable evening under the stars.
From the pretty fishing village of West Lulworth you can reach Lulworth Cove in around a mile. One of Dorset’s most-loved attractions, it has a pebble beach with clear waters that are safe for swimming and several cafes. The coast path takes you to Durdle Door, another iconic landmark, or you could join a boat trip along the stunning Jurassic Coast, looking out for seals, basking sharks and, if you’re lucky, bottle-nosed dolphins.
