Find the Best West Lulworth Hotels

THE RED LION - THE WELCOME , WE WERE SHOWN OUR ROOMS GIVEN OUR KEYS & LEFT TO IT. I FOUND THE WAY FROM THE ROOM TO THE DOWNSTAIRS BAR & RESTAURANT A LITTLE CONFUSING THE FIRST TIME OF USING. WE SAT IN THE BAR WAITING FOR THE REST OF OUR PARTY, WHEN THEY ARRIVED THE STAFF WERE A GREAT HELP WITH MY SON - IN - LAW WHO HAS BREATHING PROBLEMS. HIS EQUIPMENT WAS INSTALLED IN THEIR ROOM & WE ALL MET LATER FOR DINNER. SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. AS WE GOT TO KNOW THE STAFF OVER THE WEEKEND WE HAD A LOT OF LAUGHS & JOKES. I DONT DRINK BUT MY SON & SON - IN - LAW SAID THAT THE BEER WAS QUITE GOOD ( ENGLISH UNDERSTATEMENT ) ALL ROUND, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT. ONE THING THAT I DID NOTICE WAS THAT WHERE THE RED LION COULD NOT HELP WITH SOMEONES WANTS THEY WERE NOT AVERSE TO RECOMMENDING OTHER VENUES NEARBY. ( A 5 MILE RADIUS )

Great place where to stay. The breakfast was alright. The room was clean though quite a few spider webs by the ceiling window. The pole that we had in the room to open the window was not easy to use and I think was faulty, I’d advise to replace it. Overall a good stay. The location is good too. A lovely garden which we were lucky enough (due to the good weather) able to use.

Beautiful environment, good

The hotel is situated just off the main Dorchester to Swanage road and has a good sized car park. Despite the road being busy in the day time it was quiet a night and there wasn't much road noise in the bedroom even with the window open. It has lovely village location within an easy walk to other pubs, Corfe Castle and a bus stop a couple of hundred yards away. We used the bus to travel to Swanage then walked the coastal path via Old Harry Rocks to Shell Beach and then took the ferry to Sandbanks, walked along the beach then boarded the bus back to Swanage on Sandbanks. Travelling then back to Corfe Castle on the Steam Train. A great day out. The buses are currently operating a £2 fare. We travelled by car in the other direction to do a circular walk around the Durdle Door area and White Nothe- parking is pricey here £12 for the day. Check-in at the hotel was welcoming and we were shown to our room and assisted with luggage. The room (a Terrace View) was quite cosy. Very clean and well presented . The two chairs in the room were not very comfortable - they were very upright and basic. Towels were good quality. The bathroom had a shower/sink and toilet. It could have done with a shelf in addition to the wall mounted narrow depth mirror/cupboard. to put a make up bag etc on. The mattress was not to our liking at all despite it having a topper on it. It was extremely soft and 'saggy'. If you laid close to the edge you rolled off onto the wooden bedframe and there is a hollow in the mattress in the middle - your legs were higher than the rest of your body and we aren't oversize people. For the price of the room rate we expected a larger room with a better quality bed and chairs. The terrace is lovely although the wasps are very troublesome. We enjoyed a few drinks late afternoon here. The lounges and public areas of the the hotel are very clean and well presented. Mortons Manor has a lovely history to it too. Dinner in the hotel was great- for a small hotel it offered a good choice but the menu didn't appear to change throughout the three nights we were there. We ate there once. Service was excellent - they describe it as fine dining - the food is excellent and well presented however the glassware for the wine was poor quality - the glass was quite thick and not 'fine' quality glasses . The red and white were served in the same style of glass. Breakfasts offered a reasonable choice - not vast but was fine. The toast however was very dry. The Pork and Leek sausages were quite spicy. Service again was excellent. On check-out we were not asked if everything had been to our satisfaction or had we enjoyed our stay...are they becoming complacent?
