The Jurassic Coast's best kept secret and the right base for all of it.
A hotel near Durdle Door, for people who came to make something of their days. The cliffs, the cove, the coast path – it all starts here.
Durdle Door is a climb over the hill. Lulworth Cove is on the doorstep. Beyond that is the Fossil Forest, Kimmeridge Bay, Dancing Ledge, Old Harry Rocks, Studland Beach. More than most people manage in a week. We’ll help you make the most of it.
Twelve rooms. A bistro built around what the Dorset coast gives us. Small by design, deliberate by nature, and one of the hotels close to Durdle Door that earns its keep as much for what’s outside as what’s in.
Find us. Then get out there.

On the doorstep
Durdle Door
Over the hill and worth every step. One of the most dramatic arches on the English coast.
Lulworth Cove
A short walk down the road. The kind of place that stops you mid-sentence
Fossil Forest
Ancient and largely undiscovered. The Jurassic Coast at its most raw.
Kimmeridge Bay
Rock pools, marine life, big skies. A proper find.
Dancing Ledge
A natural swimming pool carved into the cliff. Worth the walk to get there.
Worth the drive.
Corfe Castle
Thirty to forty minutes. The ruins earn their reputation.
Swanage Bay
A proper seaside town that hasn’t tried too hard. Forty minutes east.
Old Harry Rocks
Chalk stacks at the edge of the world. The view speaks for itself.
Studland Beach
Miles of sand, dunes, and National Trust coastline. A different side of Dorset.
Brownsea Island
Red squirrels, lagoons, and one of the finest views across Poole Harbour. Worth the ferry.
Sustainability
We’re a Dorset retreat worth looking after. Striving to reduce our footprint on a coastline worth protecting.
Petite Hotels Group
A small group of hotels and restaurants in the South of England. Considered by design, deliberate by nature. The kind of places people find once and keep coming back to.
Lulworth Cove. Dorset. Yours for a night... or a week.
