“Dissapointing!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We rang ahead and booked for two nights, arriving about 20 minutes later. We paid upfront, which was a mistake. We stayed in Room 24 which was a reasonable size but very tired and the carpet was filthy.(Perhaps our payment of 200 Pounds could go towards a new one). The bedding was clean and fresh but the bed was a disaster. A very cheap mattress when new, but old and could feel every spring. Not very good when you suffer with a bad back already. Windows had not been cleaned for a very long time, one lamp was faulty, Curtains were not hung very well and did not fit the window. Breakfast was fine on our first morning, not so great on the second. I only had eggs and bacon on both days and received 2 eggs cooked as I asked, but only 1 on day two and not so well cooked and white toast instead of the brown which we asked for. Service was quick and the waitress was pleasant so we did not complain. Did not eat in the restaurant at night as prices were fairly steep. It was not pointed out at time of booking that parking was at least 100 yards away and it was difficult getting luggage to and from hotel. We were however given a free pass for parking from hotel.
Overall a disappointing stay. I had been looking forward to staying in Lulworth for some time and the nature of the hotel took the edge off it. Definitely would not stay there again and would not recommend it.

Room Tip: Always check out room before accepting it.

“Walked in, saw the room and walked back out”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We had booked this hotel in the morning, we were already away from home and remembered
the pictures on the internet, on the hotel web site. I can assure you it doesn't look as nice
in real life. The hotel looked terrible as I walked down the road to it, but I thought I would
give it the benifit of doubt and go in. The first thing the girl wanted was money, I'm not
surprised!, you certainly wouldn't pay afterwards. I asked to see the room and it just got
worse. I guess the only good thing I can say is that the position is good.
Needless to say we didn't stay there.

“Worst hotel we stayed in”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

There's a reason this hotel was the only one in Lulworth that had vacanies!! Small rooms, toilet & taps that don't work, noisy neighbours & Staff that won't help & manager & owner "not available" & never return phone calls. Car Park is nowhere near Hotel.Thankfully only had to endure one night, also it's grossly over priced and no refunds so go elsewhere. I thought Fawlty Towers was in Torquay not Lulworth.

Room Tip: None to choose from.

“Lovely little bed and Breakfast Gem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

Stayed at the beach house yesterday 22 September 2011. Stayed in room 20, view over the cove, really lovely room, Nice and clean and lovely fresh bed linen. Was greeted on arrival by the owner who was a very pleasant and friendly lady. Its not the Marriot hotel, its a lovely english seaside bed and breakfast so those of you who are expecting five star trappings, go to a five star hotel, this is a decent 3 star gem. Food was lovely and the service was great.
Nearly as lovely as my gorgeous man!!!!!!!

“Total dissapointment”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked from the site of Bishops Cottage but on arrival were given a room in The Beach House Hotel, room 23 was so tiny and uncomfortable I would never go back the stair case goes through the side of the room so all footsteps on the wooden floors echo through this room, the room should really be a single but they have squashed a double bed inside, which means you cannot walk around the bed and have to crawl over your partner in the night to get out to use the toilet. The toilet did not flush properly, and took on average 3-4 attempts the shower was inadequate and the hose was split the bath plug was broken and if you wanted to make a hot drink the only place you could put the kettle was on the already tight for space floor... If you wanted to watch TV in bed you could not pull the curtains and the TV was situated on the window sill. If you wanted to go outside at all you had to go through the restaurant in view of all the diners, which was a surpise to us and probably to them . So please be aware, WHAT YOU BOOK IS NOT WHAT YOU GET ..... BISHOPS COTTAGE WEBSITE HAS DIFFERENT ROOMS SHOWN SO I FEEL THIS IS IMPROPER ADVERTISING .
