No.7 Coastguard Cottages is nestled among a row of charming cottages that once belonged to coastguards and their families. 

The cottage offers a wonderful mix of comfort, easy access and a fantastic location in a particularly welcoming part of the Jurassic Coast—just a stone’s throw from Lulworth Cove, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of England’s only coastal World Heritage Site. The lovely village of West Lulworth, along with the amazing Stair Hole, the Fossil Forest, Lulworth Crumple and the famous Durdle Door rock arch, are all within walking distance and connected by the South West Coast Path, so you can find history, safe beaches, exciting activities, beautiful walks and delightful places to eat and drink right on your doorstep.

If you’re looking to book adjoining cottages, we can accommodate larger groups, which is especially popular for multi-generational holidays. This cottage is pet-friendly, and we welcome up to two well-behaved dogs. You’ll find food and water bowls, a towel and poo bags for your furry friends.

To help you have the best time, we’ve put together a welcome folder with all the information you need about the cottage, Lulworth and the area. Our friendly Holiday Team is always ready to suggest some great dining spots or the best places to buy local produce. Included in your stay, you’ll receive a welcome pack with delicious locally made bread, eggs, milk, biscuits, jam, tea, coffee and sugar.

Layout: 

Renovated to offer ultimate seaside comfort, No.7 sleeps up to six people in three bedrooms. There are two double bedrooms with super king-size beds (one of which can be converted into twin beds if you’d like), and one bedroom with two single beds, all on the first floor. Each bedroom has stunning views of the local surroundings. We provide goose down and microfibre pillows, and we use luxuriously crisp white Beaumont & Brown linen for your comfort. 

You’ll find a lovely bathroom on the ground floor with a shower, and on the first floor, there’s a spacious shower over a bath. Each guest gets a cosy cotton robe, fluffy white towels and Lulworth body wash, hand soap and shampoo.

The sitting room is perfect, with comfy sofas, a wood-burning stove, a TV with Freeview and DVD player, plus French patio doors leading to the front terrace. The front garden terrace has relaxing garden furniture and amazing views of Lulworth Cove. You can also enjoy the sun trap rear garden, which is all lawn.

For dinner, you can eat at the modern table for six, right next to a stone fireplace. You’ll notice coastal touches all over the cottage, bringing the seaside right into your home. The kitchen and utility room are both super modern and well-equipped, with a range oven and induction hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washer/dryer.

Just outside No.7, you’ll find off-road parking for two cars in a private, gated driveway. Plus, you get complimentary parking across the Lulworth Estate when you give us your car registration numbers, so you can explore Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Lulworth Castle Park without any worries. If you’re planning day trips, there’s a bus stop in West Lulworth village that connects you to Poole, Weymouth and Swanage. 

In front of the Coastguard Cottages, there’s a big grassy area perfect for picnics and exercise, with paths leading to Lulworth Cove and Stair Hole.

The pedestrianised street to the left of the parking area takes you through the village and its many restaurants, cafes, gift shops, The Doll’s House Confectionery Shop and ice cream kiosks, all the way down to Lulworth Cove and the highly recommended Boat Shed Cafe. Sometimes, you might even have the beach all to yourself!

Your holiday includes central heating and good Wi-Fi. Just a heads-up, the phone signal might be a bit spotty, so we’ve got a landline for local calls and recommend using 'Wi-Fi calling' on your mobile phone.

Please Note:
No.7 Coastguard Cottages is situated close to the area of the Lulworth Ranges, where military training and live firing may occasionally be heard dependent on wind direction.

Please be aware that over the last weekend in July each year, the incredible Camp Bestival takes place at Lulworth Castle which can cause local disruption and does mean the Castle and Grounds are not open to the public in the surrounding weeks before and after the festival.
