The location is not far from attractions such as Durdle Rock and is on the side of the highway. The hotel must have a lot of history, and it has a unique feel when you stay there. There is a restaurant downstairs, and the breakfast is pretty good (but it took a long time to wait).

Firstly I would like to thank Liz and Alan for making our stay such a happy and memorable experience. We camped over Tankfest. Food was amazing both breakfast and evening meals and a good selection . Service although busy was impeccable. The host treated you as friends not guests. We have found our second home and will be back whenever we stay in the area. A well done done to all the team you made a weekend special. Liz & Andy

Fabulous long weekend camping with friends and dogs. Great location with bus stop outside for us to get to Durdle door and Lulworth cove. All the staff were very friendly and helpful could not do enough for us all. Showers and toilets on site great. Food at restaurant good and good value. Lovely local walks from the pub. What else do you need for a get together for the weekend!!

We camped on the site as a large group booking, it was fantastic. The ground was level which made pitching easy. Good layout for pitches. The pub was fantastic, with excellent food. Facilities were clean and coded. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
