"The cottage is lovely with everything we needed and in an excellent location. Thanks for the books, games, dvd's and video's. We had super weather and swam in the sea most days. Visited Lulworth Castle, hired a rowing boat in Wareham, visited Poole and took the steam train to Swanage. Loved the plaques on the pier! Great Holiday. Thank you."

"With two young children and a dog to boot, Lulwind has more than exceeded our hopes for an ideal location to spend a short break away. The accommodation was beautifully presented and was both comfortable and relaxing to stay in. Lulwind provided us with everything we needed in order to completely enjoy our visit to the area, from beginning to end. Lulwind was notably clean, tidy and well facilitated. We would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else."

Access Statement
 
Access Statement for Lulwind

Introduction

Our self-catering, end of terrace, house was built in the mid 1980’s and the property blends in with the older properties in the village due to its thatched roof and established gardens. It has three bedrooms, one double, one twin and one single and is a NO SMOKING property. One well-behaved dog is permitted although strictly forbidden access to the first floor.

Lulwind is situated 200 metres from the sea at Lulworth Cove. Its location is ideal for exploring the nearby, World Heritage designated ‘Jurassic Coast’. It is ideally located not only for family holidays by the Dorset coast but for walkers and ramblers to explore the beautiful countryside surrounding Lulwind.

The undeveloped and rugged nature of the area means that there are places where wheelchair access is not possible in public places, such as the Cove and nearby paths and beaches. To access Lulwind, there are five steps up to the front garden from the pavement. There is no handrail. The small, south facing front garden is laid to lawn with a south-westerly aspect. It is gated, enclosed by a hedge and wooden fence and is safe for children. The garden is sheltered and ideal for barbeques while enjoying the sunshine.

There is one 15-centimetre step over the threshold of Lulwind and the width of the front door is 81 centimetres. All internal doors are 74 centimetres in width.

·It is possible to park the car outside the cottage for the purpose of loading and unloading however; the double yellow lines prohibit any longer stay.
·There is a large car park across the road (approx. 30 metres) in the Lulworth Cove public car park and the owners provide a free parking ticket for one vehicle. At certain times of day in the high season the Cove is visited by large numbers and this may restrict the ability to park near Lulwind in the car park. On occasion parking can be as far as 250 metres away from the cottage.
