A beautifully restored 300-year-old thatched retreat in the heart of West Lulworth.
Tucked among the historic thatched cottages
Honeysuckle Cottage is a romantic one-bedroom retreat a short stroll from Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and the Coast Path.
Lovingly restored over two years with quality craftsmanship and carefully chosen finishes, the cottage blends historic character with modern comfort, offering a peaceful, luxurious base to explore the Jurassic Coast.

The space
The Living Space
Step through the painted front door into a warm, open-plan living area with traditional stone floors and underfloor heating throughout.
• Comfortable Joules sofa
• Farmhouse dining table for relaxed suppers
• Fully equipped kitchen with Smeg appliances
• Nespresso coffee machine
• Electric log-effect fire for cosy evenings
Whether you’ve spent the day walking the cliffs or swimming in the Cove, it’s a space designed for comfort in every season.
The Bedroom
Upstairs, the light-filled bedroom overlooks the village street and features:
• King-size bespoke upholstered bed by The French Bedroom Company
• Hypnos orthopaedic mattress
• Quality linens and thoughtful storage
It’s a calm, restful space after a day on the coast.
The Bathroom
The bathroom includes:
• Large walk-in rainfall shower
• Bespoke vanity unit
• Underfloor heating
• Heated mirror
We provide toiletries from Land&Water
Please note: the cottage has an 80-litre hot water tank, suitable for two showers at a time.
Snug & Garden
At the rear of the cottage, a cosy snug offers a second Joules sofa, Smart TV and views towards Hambury Tout.
Step outside (mind the thatch!) into the generous garden, which leads directly to the coastal footpath. The raised patio enjoys views across West Lulworth’s rooftops — perfect for a quiet morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun goes down.
Location
Honeysuckle Cottage sits in the heart of West Lulworth — one of Dorset’s most iconic coastal villages.
• 5 minutes’ walk to Lulworth Cove
• Easy access to Durdle Door
• Direct access to the South West Coast Path
• A welcoming village pub within walking distance
You can park the car and explore on foot.
Practical Details
• Parking for 2–3 vehicles
• Wi-Fi throughout (rural speeds can vary)
• Utility area with washer/dryer
• CCTV covering parking and garden (not inside the property)
Guest access
• Check-in from 4pm | Check-out by 11am
Guests have exclusive use of the entire cottage, garden and parking area.
Other things to note
A Few Notes
Honeysuckle Cottage is believed to be over 300 years old. As with many historic thatched homes:
• Tall guests may need to duck on entry and stairs
• The staircase is open and may not suit those with mobility concerns
• You may occasionally spot a cobweb - this is part of countryside living
Many guests return to Honeysuckle Cottage in different seasons - summer coastal walks, autumn sunsets, winter fires and spring wildflowers each offer something special.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Meet your host
Born in the 80s
Where I went to school: England & Wales
I'm a sucker for restoring grade 2 listed houses;
Honeysuckle Cottage is the third listed home we've restored, and 10th home overall do we've learnt a few skills along the way that helped us complete this home ourselves from painting to plumbing and plastering.
We hope you enjoy our home as much as we loved restoring her!
And when we're not restoring houses, I'm training for a marathon, learning to speak Spanish and always dreaming about our next holiday...
