Our Cottage In Lulworth

An 18th century farm building now converted to a pretty 2-bed retreat, a short stroll from the sea

Halcyon Cottage in West Lulworth, Dorset, is a former 18th century farm building, just a short walk from the beautiful Lulworth Cove and the southwest coast path. Sleeping four (one king/one twin) and with two bathrooms (one ground floor), it is the perfect bolt-hole for walkers, families and couples. In spring and summer you can enjoy spectacular cliff walks, kayaking, paddle boarding or simply p

ottering in the cove, while in Autumn/Winter it becomes a cosy retreat with a wood-burning stove. The Castle pub (which does great food) is just up the road and, with a local shop just down the road, you need never get in your car again once you arrive.

It’s beginning to feel like Spring at Halcyon Cottage!

It made me so happy to discover these photographs of Halcyon Cottage and its little corner of Lulworth on display in the local church - preserved for well over a hundred years! Note how, in the first one, there obviously was no need yet for a war memorial (which appears in no2) . My particular favourite however is number 3 - a painting of when King George III, stopped for lunch at what was the coaching inn next door to us! What a stir that must have caused in the village, although Halcyon Cottage probably only housed animals back then!

Of course, Lulworth HAS to have a thatched bus stop. (And, rather bizarrely, we happen to own it!) However, what I most love about the Lulworth bus stop is that buses from there stop at both Wool and Wareham - which means there is no need to bring a car at all.
Once you arrive at Halcyon cottage, you can walk directly from the front door onto the cliffs in either direction, over to Durdle Door, down to the Cove AND to a good selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants. And there’s also a lovely local cabbie to take you further afield, if you wish.
If you want to know more about how a break at Halcyon can be an environment-friendly option, please do DM me.

A pre-dawn cup of tea in the cottage kitchen. A gentle winter morning , listening to the birds starting to wake up and celebrate a new day. There’s definitely a soft sense of Spring emerging in the air.

Chilly outside, but there’s morning sunlight by the basket of books.

We love sharing Halcyon Cottage with our holiday guests but, because it’s very much our home too, you will spot some family treasures dotted around - like this 1920s snap of my grandparents heading off on their honeymoon, my great grandmother’s iron, my father’s favourite walking sticks, my mother’s paintings - and a few more!
As an 18th century farm building, and then Lulworth’s Women Institute’s hall for many years, Halcyon already had a long history when we inherited it but I like to feel that we - and our guests - are now weaving our own stories into its walls, and will do so for many many years to come.
We are fully booked for January but still have short winter break availability. Do get in touch if you have any queries.

To all of you who stayed with us this year, all of you who are soon to do so and those of you who are just here for the pics of Lulworth cottage life (!) we wish you a very happy, healthy and peaceful year ahead. And thank you for loving Halcyon Cottage as much as we do.

Now, come upstairs! As promised, here’s another unstyled, unprofessional video of Halcyon Cottage (!) but up in the bedrooms this time. First the ‘master’ bedroom, with a King-size bed, a vintage desk, drawers and wardrobe space then we go past the family bathroom and on to the twin room, where there’s two very comfy single beds - and a desk where you can write your novel! (Yes, we have had authors staying, who have done just that!). 📚📚📚 Because it’s currently winter here, we have the duvets topped with beautiful vintage eiderdowns (gifted to us by our dear friend @bordersandblooms.devon ) and @mcnuttofdonegal blankets but the room is very cosy. I love nights at the cottage, as there are no street lights hampering a view of the stars, and you can listen to the owls calling to one another as you snuggle down. #cottagebedroom #cottagecore #lulworthcottage #dorsetcottage #lulworthcove

Do you want to know the whole truth?! Then come with me on a tour of Halcyon Cottage’s ground floor! I want everyone who books a special break with us here in Lulworth to know exactly what they will find so here is an unfiltered, unstyled, unprofessional (!) video of downstairs. In fact, it’s SO unprofessional that you will spot reflections of me and my iPhone doing the work AND I forgot to film the downstairs shower room! (It’s through the closed door in the hallway 😂) Insta doesn’t allow me enough time to show you the upstairs too, so you only get a tantalising glimpse of the stairs here. You will have to come back again for the bedroom secrets!! #lulworthcottage #cottagestyle #cottagekitchen #cottagelivingroom #countryliving #coastalliving

Sunny winter days at Lulworth, watching the fishing boats coming in, paddle boarding in the Cove, a walk over the cliffs and warming soup at The Boatshed Cafe. Then, of course, back to Halcyon Cottage for a cosy evening in front of a log fire.

After a few days of roast dinners, Christmas pudding and mince pies, it was so good to get out onto the cliffs today - especially in this beautiful December sunshine. Walk from the cottage door and within minutes you are on Bindon Hill, heading towards the Fossil Forest and (sssshhhhh) the best bay around!! Of course, we couldn’t resist dropping down into the Cove for a hot chocolate afterwards. #lulworthcove #lulworth #winterwalks #lulworthcottage #dorsetretreat #swcp #southwestcoastpath

Driving back to Lulworth on a winter evening. What could be better. #halcyoncottage #cottagelife #lulworth
