Very cosy little cottage. Well equipped with all that was needed. Easy to get to the beach albeit a little bit of a drive. The only disappointment to us was the lack of enclosed garden however this was down to us and not the owner.

Riverside View is a well-equipped cottage situated in an ideal location. This was our fourth visit, and once again, it did not disappoint. There is a great pub nearby, and a village shop. During the summer months, the village is well-served by the number 30, 31, and 54X buses, all of which connect to Lulworth Cove and surrounding areas.

Photograph of the garden area is misleading, we assumed from the photograph private garden area not a small grassy area off a busy courtyard. The cottage e is charming and ideal for a couple for a short holiday.
