Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of incredible destination inns and set in the Natural World Heritage Site of Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast, the Lulworth Cove Inn is a stunning example of a friendly, quality English pub that we all know and love. Almost 400 years old, the inn was originally a mail stagecoach stop on the road from Wareham to get fresh horses and drop off mail for Lulworth Villagers, later it was a haven for the smugglers who brought ashore French lace, brandy and other contraband to sell to the good citizens of Lulworth. Today you're guaranteed a warm welcome, we're family and dog friendly as any great pub should be with a beautiful terrace, wood burners and great food.
