We had a wonderful stay at The Castle Inn. The rooms are clean and have everything you need but are also quirky and characterful. The staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was excellent - plenty of choice and everything we tried was delicious. We ate in the pub on both evenings of our stay and enjoyed dinner very much. The location is great too. A peaceful corner of Dorset but with wonderful coastal walks and the beautiful Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door close by. We loved being able to take an early morning walk to enjoy the stunning English countryside and coastline. Highly recommend!

Cosy quirky Inn set in a beautiful Dorset village.

Lovely old inn beautifully appointed with quirky decoration which suited an old building. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff who worked so hard during a very beautiful sunny weekend. Food was well presented and very enjoyable. Really comfortable bed and fab shower in a large bathroom. Great stay can’t wait to return as it’s situated in the gorgeous village of West Lulworth about a 5 minute walk from Lulworth Cove. Stunning.

Great stay!

First time staying here and will definitely be back. Staff were brilliant; friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was lovely, (aside from one pillow being a bit too firm!), and little touches like the cafeteria in the room, and a free drink in the bar, were gratefully received!! Breakfast was fantastic, waayy better than the usual chain hotels you may stay in. The Inn is about a 1km walk down to Lulworth Cove itself, so really accessible, and means you can stay parked there rather than pay the high fees in the main car park. Overall i'd highly recommend!

A wonderful visit to this beautiful, well run and happy pub. Genuinely a delight to spend time here. All the staff are excellent, special recognition to Elijah, Hobbs and Kelly for being above and beyond brilliant. Also, Adam made checking in quick and easy. Car park is handy and the number plate system is very simple to use. Food was delicious (we ate in both evenings) and the chef was very happy to accommodate our special dietary needs. Same with the delicious breakfast. The whole pub looked great after the refurbishment, was clean and super tidy. Lulworth itself is a Lovely area, great for walks.

I liked the comfortable room, stylishly decorated and spotlessly clean. Nice staff and always there when you needed them. Rooms are small, as you would expect from such a historic pub. Breakfast very good indeed. Lulworth is divine. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.

Room was a little disappointing based on the price but I guess the location dictates the price. No AirCon and even on an average summer evening and with a fan in the room, it was impossible to sleep without sheets removed! Stayed for Dinner and breakfast and both excellent and staff very friendly

Great stay at the Castle Inn

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Castle Inn. We liked the food, nice, clean room, comfortable bed, good shower and toiletries. The staff were all great but special shout out for Kate who gave us a warm, smiley welcome during the busy lunch time service and looked after my bag when I left it in the bar …so thanks!
