    A most enjoyable week spent in this special place.

    • Superior King Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    A first class hotel, wonderful food including excellent breakfasts. Very helpful and friendly staff. Comfortable accomadation, including bedroom. We spent the week walking the nearby South West Coast Path, Hardy trail and other public footpaths through beautiful surrounding countryside. Good bus service to facilitate return from linear walks (although apparently buses currently run much less frequent from Mid September to April).

    Accessibility could be an issue for some.

    Great location, an intimate hotel with welcoming staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Lovely touches around the hotel that made our stay extra special.

    Nothing.

    Beautiful property in a perfect location. It’s our fourth stay at the Limestone Hotel and it never fails to deliver. We stayed in The Hideaway this time and it was perfect for us. The location facilities and staff are all excellent. It was the busiest time of year, but we felt comfortable at the Limestone.

    Nice hotel to discover Lulwort and Durdle door
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Superior King Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    the room we stayed in had a boiler (also for other rooms) in our bathroom, this gives some noise. For such a nice hotel, the cushions of the patio chairs were worn out,

    Charming hotel with a good restaturant, the breakfast was excellent. The staff was very friendly. Every room has his private parking, Lulworth Cove was on walking distance

    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.

    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

    Bedrooms need some soundproofing as we were woken in the night by people having a conversation in the next room.

    The hotel was beautifully fitted and furnished with clean, spacious bedrooms. Close proximity to Lulworth Cove and the coastal walks. Great to have parking. Lots of quality food choices at breakfast.

    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.

    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.
