About Castle Inn

West Lulworth sits on the Dorset coast within reach of Durdle Door, and the Castle Inn has been part of the village on Main Road for many years, offering a base for exploring the surrounding cliffs and countryside. It's a straightforward, comfortable hotel rather than a grand one, with an emphasis on food, drink and a decent night's sleep after a day outdoors.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks available in room, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children. Guests can eat and drink on site at the restaurant and bar, with breakfast included, and free WiFi throughout. A garden gives extra space to sit outside, while 24 hour reception and luggage storage add convenience for early arrivals or late departures. Free on-site parking is provided, useful given the village's narrow streets.

Beyond the hotel, West Lulworth is well suited to walking and cycling, with paths leading along the coast, and fishing and watersports available nearby for those wanting to get out on the water. There are further pubs, bars and restaurants in the village itself, making it easy to spend a few days based here without needing a car for every meal.
