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.
Free WiFi

Lovely big place with 2 x car parking spaces. Beds Lovely, showers lovely, kitchen lovely with everything you need. A 10 min walk to the cove with coffee shops and and hours walk up hill to Durdle Dor. Loads of great walks around with a local shop open untill late & a great pub just down the road.I would of given it 5 stars but the place does need a few things doing to it (not hugely important) & the cleanliness could of been a bit better.I would definitely go back though & I would recommend this property.

We arrived in good time and we could get into Humbury House earlier than we thought , Humbury house is a beautiful property parking for two cars one in driveway way and also one parking space in garage or outside in front of garage . The house is very spacious and welcoming and very well equipped especially in the kitchen . The only moan for us as a group of six was the sofas in the lounge are very tired and little uncomfortable . Also the toilets and shower heads needed an extra clean , as did the house . Apart from that we all had a lovely stay the area is so beautiful and so close to Durdle Door with lots of great walks . Pubs in village get very busy so book ahead time but food very good . Thankyou we enjoyed our stay .
