West Lulworth is known as the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and Durdle Dreams is a short walk to the stunning Lulworth Cove, a sheltered, horseshoe 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, whilst the sheltered position makes the cove particularly popular with beach goers looking to sunbathe and swim. From here you can take the coastal path to Durdle Door to see the natural limestone archway, which is one of Dorsets most photographed and iconic landmarks. There are many attractions a short drive away including Monkey World, The Tank Museum, The Swanage Steam Railway which goes between the 100 year old castle at Corfe Castle and the seaside town of Swanage, Durlston Country Park and the market town of Wareham. Beach ½ mile. Shop 180 yards, pub and restaurant 350 yards.

Durdle Dreams is a great cottage, in a great location for exploring. It is well equipped in terms of quantities. Niggles:- blunt knives, lots of cobwebs, parking restrictive if you have a larger car / two cars, garden only secure for dogs if they are large (sizeable gap under one gate means smaller dogs could get out.) Amazing beds / sofa's - good quality. For my family personally - the duck down in pillows and cushions triggered allergies, might be good to have an alternative option there!Garage / Games Room - brilliant - just needs a heater!Would definitely recommend a stay here. :-)
