We stayed at Downalong for a wedding and it was like home from home. Shirley is the perfect hostess. The room has everything you could possilby need including Wifi. Breakfast was delicious and very substantial. We hope to visit again one day.

Shirley made us feel at home at Downalong. She had thought of everything, from the shampoo in the bathroom to the range of teas on the bedside table, and most importantly....the breakfast was delicious. We had never explored Dorset and West Lulworth is very well placed to visit his beautiful part of the country. The B&B itself is only a... More

We stayed here for one night with our son & his partner at the end of a walk from Charmouth. There are 2 rooms only, situated next to each other & a separate bathroom/toilet adjacent.

We stayed at Downalong for a night while walking along the Southwest Coast Path and loved it! The room was clean and well equipped, the B&B ideally located with Lulworth Cove as well as several dining options in close walking distance.

We stayed at Downalong for 2 x nights to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The house was beautiful and immaculately clean throughout. Shirley is a fantastic hostess, warm and friendly and very accommodating, as someone who doesn’t like a cooked breakfast, I was well looked after with fresh fruit and croissants. Coffee really good too. I would highly recommend this B&... More

My husband and I stayed at Downalong on our honeymoon in July, and we wholeheartedly echo everyone else's positive review. The house from the outside alone is gorgeous - a beautiful stone building with a lovely garden, on a quiet country lane. The room was comfortable, cozy and quiet, with wifi and tv. The room and common areas were absolutely... More

Myself and two friends stayed here for four nights in June. We were made most welcome and as we were on a walking holiday, the weather was poor, Shirley did everything possible to enable us to get wet gear dry, including washing and ironing my friend's shirts! The breakfasts each morning were really excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The... More
