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
One or more beds can be linked to form double or twin beds (please advise the owner of your preference soon after booking).

Had a fabulous time at Hambury House. The rooms are very spacious and the added touch of the Christmas Tree was much appreciated.Having read previous reviews I feel I do need to agree with some of the those mentioned and maybe a little bit of time giving this lovely house some TLC would only lead to positive comments. Despite this I would not hesitate to go back,

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.
