The food was beautiful, with an interesting breakfast and dinner menu. We ate here both nights and were very pleased with the menu options - even better, it was all beautifully cooked. Breakfast was lovely, with some more unusual choices as well as the standards, so my almond porridge with honey and berries went down extremely well. The team were small, but worked hard and were friendly and professional, quickly remedying any issues. The location is excellent, just up the hill from Lulworth Cove itself, so out of the noise and hubbub. There is also a lovely garden for guests to use, with plenty of seating, which in the recent hot weather provided a great place to sit with a book/ enjoy a drink.

Nothing!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Limestone. The staff were lovely and supremely helpful and the room was really nice. And the breakfast was truly amazing. Truly amazing. And all set in beautiful garden surroundings. If price is no object then this is definitely the place for you.

We stayed at 19 B&B’s over 19 consecutive nights walking about 1/3 to one half of the entire SWCP. The Limestone was far and away the most expensive of all of them but not by far the best. So, on a purely objective and arms-length assessment, having experienced a lot of accommodation options, I do not believe it is brilliant value for money. Interestingly, another hotel in the same chain (Petite Hotels) called the Lyme Townhouse in Lyme Regis had many of the same good features and was far less expensive and therefore far better value for money. So the chain isn’t overpriced, just, I think, this particular venue.

The rooms were a lovely size. We had the library and garden room. The garden room was amazing with the terrace that we used daily. There is a lovely garden area for the guests, as well as a sitting room. Books and games are available for use by the guests. The full English breakfast and options were amazing. They have a wonderful chef and we enjoyed our evening meal. this was a perfect location for us to explore the Jurassic coast. The beds are comfortable and the staff were pleasant, and offered suggestions on places to explore or eat.

Loved it all.

The hotel was very well presented first impressions were lovely very well maintained garden lots of seating to sit outside and enjoy the views, we stayed in the boathouse room plenty of space great shower and facilities overlooking the garden which was lovely, the staff are amazing so friendly and welcoming nothing is to much trouble, a good selection at breakfast all freshly cooked to order.

Overall hotel and staff are great only thing is maybe some people might find the carpark a little narrow and quite a few steps up to hotel itself although there is a sloping pathway to make access easier for those that can't manage steps.

Comfortable beds, warm rooms (even in Storm Darragh!!) amazing shower (power and heat). I stayed in the Lookout room which has a beautiful view of the hills and church. 5 mins walk to Lulworth Cove and a treat to be so close. There is a lovely fireplace in the room opposite the main dining area. Small handmade biscuits in the room with tea and coffee facilities. Plenty of storage in the room and toiletries were lovely (sweet cardamom and orange). The food in the restaurant was really lovely and had veggie/pescetarian options. Special thanks to Olak for his hospitality and encouraging ordering the dessert (sticky toffee pudding was delicious and not too sweet) and Claire for helping me reverse out of my tight parking spot!! I would definitely stay here again, very hospitable staff and extremely relaxing even in a storm!

- Car park is tight when full. I would advise anyone to reverse into the bay as it's easier to get out. I parked forwards so I could access my boot. It did require a fair bit of manoeuvring to get out with cars parks either side of me. - There weren't many people checked in so it was lovely and quiet most of my stay. It did get busier Friday night and the sound from the restaurant came up to my room. Otherwise I couldn't hear anything the rest of the stay.

The staff here are all so kind and happy to help. The breakfast was wonderful and really sets you up for the day. Lovely rooms with fun themes which are tastefully done! Love the location, so so peaceful and a short walk from the cove.

The only things I could say to this is that there are not any plugs next to the bed in the explorer room. Not a big deal at all but when charging devices you can't look at them when in bed... Which is probably a good thing really.

Smart hotel with a very friendly welcome. Good location in the quiet, lovely village of West Lulworth. Although it may look as if it's a bit of a climb from Lulworth Cove, it isn't really and there are pavement/footpaths all the way. It's perfectly placed for walkers of the inland route to Kimmeridge Bay. Our room was small but clean and modern, with a decent sized shower. Breakfast was excellent, with fresh smoothies and interesting cooked options (we had bubble & squeak with bacon).

The temperature and water pressure in our shower was a bit temperamental, but we managed.

Lovely rooms, very private, very clean, everything well worked out ahead of our stay. The restaurant was extremely nice, the breakfasts exceptional. Nice continental delights and a range of cooked breakfast options. Nice bar and lovely places to sit in the evening to enjoy a drink

I couldn’t fault it really. I am disabled so didn’t realise the steps and steep paths were there until we arrived. I did manage in the end and we limited going up to the hotel to once a day.

The hotel was small but very well set up, Decor was quirky but without trying too hard. The room was a good size, well equipped, clean and quiet. Staff were without exception friendly, efficient and quick. The full breakfast was one of the best I have had for a long time. The most significant element of our stay, for us, was that my wife’s dietary issues were dealt with sympathetically - the food provided was not just gluten free but actually tasty, compared to the dry, largely flavorless offerings at most hotels where the decisions about alternative foods are clearly taken by people who dont actually eaten what they provide and so don’t know how bad they are.

The hotel is on a built on steep slope, making it difficult for disabled people to access. This did not affect us, but another guest checking in at the same time as us had quite a struggle to get up to the front door on her crutches. I don’t have a solution to this, but a clearer indication of the problem when booking might be helpful

Your staff are absolutely fantastic- they were so tentative to us from the moment we parked up and all the way through until we left. The room was very clean, and you could tell there had been some real thought about how to make your guests comfortable during their stay. From the map, the restaurant menus for both properties, teas and coffees in the room. Was really lovely.

It was a little odd there was no lock to the inside of the room door - appreciate that we were told it was safe but it was something we were conscious about but that’s the only item we could think of!
