Garage parking for 1 car. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Hambury House is a stunning, new build, thatched cottage in the beautiful village of West Lulworth.

The property has been tastefully designed to delicately incorporate traditional features such as a thatched roof and wooden ceiling beams into the build, whilst retaining a contemporary feel. The kitchen has extensive kitchen/cooking equipment for the amateur chef and the dining room has an extending dining table seating eight guests.

Situated in the heart of the village, the property is within a short walk of the village stores and a couple of pubs including a 16th-century thatched tavern reputed to be one of the oldest public house in Dorset.

Known as the Gateway to the Jurassic Coast, West Lulworth is situated within a scenic 10 minute stroll of the picturesque Lulworth Cove, a sheltered horse-shoe shaped natural harbour.

Historically, the cove was notorious as a popular landing point for smugglers looking to land their illicit booty. Today a fleet of fishing trawlers are based in the cove as well as pleasure boats offering scenic day voyages along the coast. Its sheltered position makes the cove particularly popular with beachgoers looking to sunbathe and swim.

Lulworth Cove is only half a mile from Durdle Door, an iconic natural limestone arch which has featured in several music videos, television productions and movies such as Nanny McPhee.

Weymouth and Portland, official Olympic 2012 sailing venues, are within a 20-mile drive.

Perfect location and lovely cottage

It was and extended family holiday. From a location perspective it couldn't have been better. We walked down to Lulworth cove every morning (literally 5 mins walk). Easy reach to Durdle Door. Several places to eat and drink within a short walk. The cottage was just lovely. Really spacious so we all had some privacy but lovely family spaces to eat, play games and relax. Lovely closed in garden which is great with small kids and a dog! Already looking at booking again for next year

A few days away.

Lovely property and a beautiful area. Property was well equipped and all very clean. A couple of points though as feed back. We found it difficult to operate the TV. And had an issue with the bathroom locks that could not be opening from the outside. We had a 3year old in our party who locked himself in until we made him understand that he needed to push the bolt aside. Just a small point but it was a bit of a worry at the time. We all had a lovely time though and will hopefully come back some time in the future.

Lovely house, great location and very spacious.

Lovely house, great location and very spacious. Fully equipped kitchen, nothing that wasn’t there to cook on holiday in the cottage. 4 good sized bedrooms, large living area and kitchen with enough chairs for 8 people. Location about 30 minutes from most attractions (Weymouth/Swanage) however walking distance to Lulworth Cove (10 mins max) and Durdle Door (45mins along the coast). We had a fantastic time and considering coming back to the cottage next year - lockdown pending! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Hambury House

The property is fabulous, done to a high standard with a superbly equipped kitchen. Unfortunately our holiday was spoilt as the ensuite shower leaked through the dining room ceiling light on the first morning and the ensuite toilet broke. Despite notifying the property manager there were lots of excuses but the shower was not fixed until the last day and the toilet was not repaired when we left. Also the shower in the main bathroom did not work and was not repaired so all 7 of us had to use one ensuite shower for the entire stay. The Dining room could not be used in the evenings as the water leak had fused the lights.

We had a wonderful week at Hamburg House.

We had a wonderful week at Hamburg House. Plenty of room for the six of us. Great location. Lovely walks and a great pub five mins walk away. We have reported a water leak from the shower in bedroom two. We found the landing floor wet. Only one complaint. We did find the bed in the master bedroom was too soft which made sleeping very uncomfortable. The mattress needs to be replaced.

Only a couple of issues babies cot is a travel cot not cot as said also beds are a little uncomfortable maybe could do with new mattresses but didn’t spoil holiday. Lovely cottage and great location. Maybe carpet and rug in lounge could do with cleaning. We had a great week.

Overall a wonderful stay, helped by glorious weather. The property is extremely well equipped and will not disappoint. The location is superb for both Lulworth Cove and Durdle Dor, generally most places in Dorset It is a 10 minute walk to the cove and Durdle Dor is about 1 mile away. Would we want to stay here again and the answer is yes.

Hambury House is a lovely spacious house and we had a brilliant stay, it was very comfortable, and clean we would book again in a heartbeat. The bedding and towels were of hotel standard which also made for a very comfortable say. The Castle Inn Pub was very unwelcoming, would never go there again, the staff were only taking bookings for dinner for the local residents, we felt like we were intruding. Thank you.
