Lovely cottage in a superb location.. Parking a little restricted if you have a larger car but still able to park. Pub next door not great for food but can recommend the Lulworth Cove Inn a short walk away. The fire alarm goes off when you cook. Standard double bed was a little small for me at 6’3”. Back garden is ideal if you have a pet as it is secure it also gets the sun most of the day. All in all I loved it here and would definitely return.

Difficulty parking unless you have a small car and difficult to get on to main road from property due to passing traffic - Sykes forewarned customers regarding this though..

Comfortable cottage.. Pub next door is excellent but book for weekend evenings. Easy walk down to the cove.

This was our first cottage holiday and we spent 7 nights in February at Little Ivy with our dog.. I can only describe our stay as brilliant. The cottage was immaculately presented on arrival, absolutely everything you could possibly want was available including nice little touches like chilled bottle of wine, quality packet of biscuits, tea/coffee, fresh milk and even a jar of dog biscuits! The quality of furnishings was excellent even down to the Egyptian cotton sheets and luxury fluffy towels. The whole place was spotlessly clean and felt very inviting, it was warm, cosy and fairly quiet despite it’s roadside position. The Castle Inn next door provided a warm friendly atmosphere with excellent food (especially the Sunday roast). Lulworth Cove was a 15 minute walk downhill and provided great views and other very good restaurants especially Lulworth Lodge Hotel. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage and would certainly consider going back.

On arrival we were informed there was a fault with the oven in our cottage and so we were upgraded to the larger cottage next door.. The house keeper made the changes very quickly for us and we found her very helpful and friendly .

My husband and I spent New Year at the cottage with our two dogs.. We absolutely loved it! The cottage is cosy and has everything you need. Comfy bed, good quality bath towels and as it was Christmas the decorated tree was a lovely touch. We were really impressed by the fenced off gardens for both cottages as this is a huge help when holidaying with the dogs. The cottage is next to a fab pub, friendly staff and great food. Small disco on NYE but great fun! 10 minutes walk to Lulworth Cove through the beautiful village where there are more great dog friendly eateries. We explored so many walks from the cottage without using the car. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be back to Little Ivy, or the larger cottage next door with friends. Parking at the cottage really isn't an issue as some people have made out. We have a Volvo 4x4 and the people in the other cottage had a Land Rover Discovery and it was fine!!

Mrs Crerar

Lovely area, nice walks, good food in local pub, we stayed in December so it was a great time to walk the coast path, however, I expect it would be a very busy village during peak seasons.. Cottage very comfortable, no one next door so parking and garden use was fine.
