An excellent, well presented pub with superb food and very friendly staff. What more do you need?? The menu is a nice balance of staples and really imaginative dishes. The crispy chicken with chilli starter was amazing and the chargrilled chicken with chorizo was fabulous. The ham, egg and chips was probably the best I have had anywhere, a simple dish prepared very well with good ingredients. We will be back

Fabulous place, food amazing. Stumbled upon this pub during a long drive home. Lovely place, service was good but think the lady could smile lol. Spoke like she didn't want to serve happy when with colleagues haha. That's the only reason for deducting a star on service. Had a lamb burger and chips. Wow best chips ever, so thick, crispy on outside and fluffy on inside. Burger tasted homemade. Sounded expensive on ordering but my goodness it was eoth every penny.

Food was excellent, with a good selection for those with allergies. Fish and chips was huge. The flat bread was a little disappointing though in comparison to the other mains. Still good though!

Really good food. We have been the last 2 weekends, and had the fish and chips both times and has been consistently excellent. The service is polite, friendly and efficient. There are 2 car parks providing plenty of free parking. They have a very generous outside area with plenty of seating too.

Lulworth Cove

P: Not available

Beautiful location. Natural bay in the coast. Wonder of nature with a history from the jurassic era. Clear blue water. Full of activities, like canoeing, scenic boat tours. Hiking pathway leading to durdle door. Nice shops and a visitor center. Lot of parking available and ticket is valid for both Lulworth cove & Durdle door. Superb place to chill out on the beach or in the large picnic green area.

magical place 🙌 beautiful , calm and so green. and of course businesses in that area are pricey😩 we end up buying cornwall pastries that were overpriced 🤪 but hey, it’s not the main point. still very pleased with our trip there we took then a path towards Durdle door. Parking is £10 for 4h. not less

Best place in my life of the visit list. I relly love the nature and the weather. If you are not there you must go and visit for a day trip. It's very easy to go from london by train London Waterloo to wool station.. It will take 2.30 hour. And yes, You will love this

Amazing feeling to the whole place nice gentle walk from the car park with excellent facilities half way between the beach and car park lots of shops to choose from all at a reasonable price The car park is super pricey at £10 for four hours or £20 a day unless you have a van £30 all day is you only option wow it is a real money maker for them at the expense of all there loyal visitors very disappointing it would have been ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars if it wasn’t for the parking charge

It is most beautiful and picturesque place I have ever been in the UK! The cove looks stunning with the Jurassic Coast in the background. With the sunlight, it looks so surreal. The water has so many layers of blue. Parking is expensive, starting from £10 for 4 hours, covering Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Unfortunately Durdle door was closed on the day we visited. It might make you feel better that you don’t need to pay entrance fees anymore. I love this place so much.

Great service from the young man who has worked here for over 7 years. Nice to see someone who is genuinely keen to provide service always with a smile and attentive to all diners. Food was of great quality and fresh ingredients used through dishes. The only disappointment was the cheesecake as it was still frozen.

The hotel itself was in a picturesque location and on top of a hill. The view was so beautiful that I could sit outside in the terrace all day. Besides the location being prime location - the overall service from the hotel staff was exceptional. Each member was extremely friendly and kind. We loved our stay and would 100% come back again. The rooms were all in different themes which made it very personal and cosy. The food was also divine - especially the dinner menu.

We came here for dinner and it was fantastic. The staff were lovely and super friendly, the atmosphere is bright but cozy and the food was gorgeous. I had the lobster and it was amazing. They have a few options for the non seafood lover, as well as great seafood options.

We have enjoyed 2 meals here and they were absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable with great waiting service and the food arrived promptly and hot. Fresh produce was clearly used. Lots of gluten free options or if you are intolerant but can eat sourdough then are also lots of options. It has a beautiful location. I would highly recommend here if you want good quality food.

We recently hosted our staff Christmas party at Lulworth Lodge, and it was spectacular! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Their friendliness and professionalism made the entire evening run smoothly, and their warm hospitality added to the festive atmosphere. The food was sublime, and the cocktails divine! Lulworth Lodge, thank you for an unforgettable evening. We had the best time, and we’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Let’s face it, Lulworth cove is the main reason that gazillions of people come to this part of our lovely world, but in my honest opinion, the Lulworth Lodge, and its amazing staff, for us anyway, is the main reason for us to return. Flossie (front of house) is an absolute gem. Thoroughly knowledgeable about the entire menu, and absolutely charming too. And then the food…we had the Dorset crab rarebit between us to start, and it was by far the absolute best crab dish I have ever had! The flavour combinations and textures were truly sublime, using a small amount of pickled shallots to finish was an unexpected, but perfect addition, to cut through just enough, to leave a complete umami sensation that lasted. Amazing. We both chose the seafood linguine, and we both arrived at the same exact moment (like a couple of Japanese trains…) with the conclusion that this dish was absolutely perfect. Adding anything to the dish would have over-complicated it, and missing any ingredient would lessen the overall experience. The balance was spot on! We both fed-back how amazing we found the food, only to find that the chef Josh, started in the kitchen at the age of 16, and is only in his early twenties! A round of applause for this guy, as he was clearly thought well, but more importantly, he paid attention!! Just to finish, we had a special meringue to share, which was created by Drew. And fair play, it kept the standard flying high. Seriously, if we lived closer (we’re in Nottingham) we’d dine here as often as we could afford! Bravo team! We’ll be back, just for you guys!

My family and I had lunch here, we all really enjoyed our meals. 4 of us had roasts and 2 of us had burgers. The chips were really nice. The hostess was absolutely lovely, really kind, funny and lifted the mood. The young waiters seemed quite new and unfortunately there was a bit of a wait for drinks and the bill, and drinks were a bit expensive (£4.20 for a coke). However, I loved the atmosphere of the pub, it was really pretty and nice and quiet where we sat. Got to see lots of dogs! Wi-Fi is an added bonus :) I would recommend coming here, very good for a large group too.

What an absolutely delightful experience! The food is amazing (the pulled pork: Oh, My Word!) the location is beautiful and meeting the owner was an absolute pleasure; she went above and beyond to ensure we felt warmly welcomed and completely at ease. Her attention to detail and genuine care made the experience all the more memorable. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, a beautiful setting, and top-notch hospitality!

We are staying at a small campsite not far away and this is the nearest pub so headed down Thursday for a drink with the dog to check it out. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming and the food looked amazing so we booked a table for Friday evening. Again everyone was friendly, service was good, the dog was made to feel very welcome too, she was offered a dog bed and given her own doggy menu so it’s super dog friendly which is always a bonus. The food was absolutely delicious, between us we had the smoked pork board and the smoked beef board and really enjoyed it. Always nice to be made welcome when away. We would definitely return if in the area again.

Brilliant experience, camped one night and we were welcomed from the start! Ate in the pub and met the owners and staff that were very friendly and made us feel at home. Genuine effort was taken by all with everything from food service to the hospitality. Food was also spot on! Would highly recommend and will be returning.

Just back from a fabulous 2 nights here. What a lovely place, would highly recommend to anyone thinking of going. We were made very welcome and the staff were so friendly. The food was lovely and my husband said especially the breakfast. I'm sorry I didn't get one of the managers names who spoke to us this morning, just after breakfast, but she was so nice and a credit to The Smugglers. We will be back.

I was on a one night walking break and feeling a little out of sorts. A lovely lady Hebe really looked after me and made me feel so welcome. I called in for a snack and coffee but booked a room. The amazing hospitality continued the next morning with delicious breakfast and Ellis really looked after me. I’ve only been away once on my own before and they really gave me confidence to do it again.

If you're looking for a cozy pub that delivers on all fronts, this is the place! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed Sunday afternoon. The Sunday roast here is absolutely top-notch. The portions are generous, and the quality is superb. What really sets this pub apart, though, is the service. The staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. From the moment you walk in, you feel right at home. They’re attentive without being intrusive and always make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your meal. Karli served us today and Hebe greeted us. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a hearty Sunday roast in a charming, welcoming setting!

We’ve just returned from a wonderful two-night stay at The Smugglers Inn. On arrival, Lloyd greeted us and made us feel welcome instantly - before any money had even exchanged hands he made sure we were ‘fed and watered’ after our long drive. Nothing was too much effort for any of the staff…. Special mentions to Rafaela our waitress,Ella, and the bar-staff who really looked after us. The Sunday lunch was fantastic, great menu in general and a great breakfast spread! The room was spotless, cozy and well-equipped. It was my partners birthday and they went out of their way to make it special for him. We would definitely recommend staying here and we have already talked about returning one day. Thanks again to ALL the staff for making our stay so special. Sam and Phil

What a lovely place to stay. Room was fabulous, meal was great….but what we were most impressed with was the friendly upbeat service from all the staff members we dealt with. Ben was particularly helpful with our breakfast the following morning (which was delicious). Highly recommend staying as so picturesque. Thanks so much!

Among the best inns I've ever visited. The room was perfectly prepared and we were lucky to have a room with a view on the cove. The complimentary breakfast was incredible. In addition to a bountiful buffet they offer (multiple) warm meals which are all amazing in and of themselves. The service leaves nothing to be desired whatsoever. The interior is charming; there are sundry memorabilia to do with the cove and the place; some of them a good 70 years old. We definitely enjoyed this historic insight. hope I get the chance to come here again sometime.

We very nearly didn't eat here because of some poor reviews but both the service and the food was excellent! We requested a quiet table as we had a dog and were seated in the snug area which was delightful. The food was delicious and there was a great choice of vegetarian options which makes a nice change. The waiting staff were really friendly and attentive and we really could fault nothing so not sure were the bad reviews come from and I would highly recommend eating here.

Wow! What a find! We stumbled across this restaurant when trying to find Tyneham village. It looked really busy from the outside, so we tried our luck to get a table. The staff were really lovely, welcoming and warm, got us a table and even produced a separate vegan menu on request! ⭐️⭐️ The starters were so appealing we shared three between us and the mains were cooked to perfection! We were full to the brim, but still managed to squeeze in a sticky toffee pudding. Overvall, very very impressed with the range of options, the quality of the food and the fantastic staff. We will definitely be back!

Lovely restaurant with indoor and outdoor eating spaces. Great and varied menu catering for all tastes and a good drinks list. Partner’s lobster bisque was delicious and my ploughman’s varied and filling. Followed by a walk to Kimmeridge bay and an ice cream back at Clavells (ice cream hatch serves directly into the garden) before trip home. Moderate pricing given good quality and the beautiful location. Thanks Clavells!

A good fish and chips to finish off a beautiful walk along the Jurassic Coast! £11 felt quite steep for fish and chips (on top of the £10 parking charge!) - but the food was cooked fresh to order, service was nice and it was very tasty, would thoroughly recommend!
