There's lots for everyone to do in the village and nearby towns and villages, especially for children and couples. I strongly recommend this B&B to everyone visiting the Purbecks :)

The landlady is always very friendly, helpful and efficient, providing a welcoming, peaceful and comfortable environment. Breakfast is always on time and very filling. Parking area is good. Great location for walking and exploring the surrounding area. Very good indeed and great value for money. Highly recommended. I always look forward to returning, which I will do several times later in the year.

Breakfast was outstanding as well as a proper English Tea Time. Our hosts were gracious and very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They can recommend sites to see, places to eat, and things to do. A great place to stay. Very affordable. If we get a chance to visit England again I would definitely stay here.

This bed & Breakfast establishment…read moreis situated on the corner of the Main Road at the west end of the village of Brighstone that's about 2k from the south coast of West Wight. I've stayed here at least 6 times in the last 15 years & the standard of accommodation is 1st rate as are the cooked breakfasts - just the job to set up a day's walking, cycling or driving around this delightful island! Carol & Paul Hallums run The Lodge & go beyond the call of duty to make guests feel welcome & help advise on local events or attractions. Well worth a visit! There's a bus stop close by - Vectis Buses run a reliable service across the island & a week's pass that includes the open-top tour buses costs £20 each with family tickets also available.

I LOVED this place! First off, this bed and breakfast REALLY is in a village--the kind you see in…read morethe movies! Harts Lane is so narrow, my partner hesitated pulling our car into the lane and then really had second thoughts about pulling into the tiny parking area. I was too busy loving everything I could see to care about that! Then, we walked into the bed and breakfast, where an out-of-breath Linda Smith greeted us warmly and apologized for not being ready. We didn't mind. After all, there were TWO pubs in one TINY village! ;) When we returned from our obligatory pub visit, Linda led us upstairs and to our room. Do you know how sometimes places look clean but don't smell clean? This clean room smelled GREAT! Then, I went into the bathroom. It was completely remodeled and very modern. I was in heaven! A quaint, clean bedroom with a clean modern shower! There was even a place for me to sit down in the bedroom and put on my makeup. I decided to use it for sitting down and reading a daily devotional, but just having this wonderful space was a plus. Did I mention there was a fireplace? The next morning, Linda cooked us "whatever we wanted." My partner happily ordered sausage and eggs, and I ordered bacon and eggs. While we waited, I looked around the family dining room. There were wonderful family pictures--Linda and Ian Smith's wedding pictures, their children, etc. My partner meanwhile marveled at his freshly squeezed orange juice and some of the woodwork in the room. Then, the food came. The bacon was the size of 4 American slices stuck together but a lot thicker. Everything was delicious, but after we ate, we felt like we needed a nap! If you go to this area of England, stay here! The Smiths are very congenial people, their accommodations are clean, their food is outstanding, and the village is picturesque. You'll swear you're in a movie.

The owners, Nicky and Pete are simply lovely, they can't do enough for you and make a mean breakfast! They have a lovely, old red setter called Bertie, who deserved a lot of my fussing over! The room was quaint and old fashioned in the nicest sense, with a comfy bed, wardrobe and t.v, plus gorgeous views looking onto the garden. It holds a large on-suite, with a huge bath but my only complaint is the shower didn't work too well, the temperature of the water couldn't make up its mind and kept switching from hot to cold, forgot to mention it to them though. This place is perfect for Ramblers, a short distance from the centre of Wareham and Poole. I recommend!

I wish you could award Bindon Bottom a rating of 10stars …read more Clive and Lisa are the most wonderful people you could meet, nothing is too much trouble. The attention to detail is a credit to their hard work and how much they want there guests to have a wonderful time. We stayed in the Blyton Room. This is a ground floor room with a lovey big Sash window opening up to a little view of the court yard area. The room and bathroom are spotless (cleaned every morning you go out) Fresh good quality towels, and lovely bedding. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, herbal tea etc. Mini fridge with fresh milk and bottled water. Oh not forgetting Lisa's Homemade flapjacks, shortbreads & Chocolate truffles. Crisps and peanuts. TV & Hairdryer. So now on to Breakfast. Clive does the most amazing cooked breakfast. There is also fresh yogurt. Potted fruit. Organic cereals. Fresh cut toast. Fresh coffee pot or tea. Organic fruit juice. We have been very lucky to stay in some very lovely places and hotels , but this TOPS them all . In one word - spectacular.

This.place.is.wonderful!…read more We have only stayed one night here and most of the time since checking in was spent lounging in the room as it was just too cosy to want to leave! Bindon Bottom is a delightful B&B owned by Lisa and Clive in the pitcturesque little village of Lulworth. The B&B is only a 5 minute walk from the famous Lulworth Cove (and shops, cafes etc). The B&B has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated and each room is named after a famous poet or author local to the Dorset area. The number of 'little touches' here are endless and they all just make it extra special. From the Neal's Yard organic toliletries to the refreshment tray in each room with local delights (crisps, biscuits, choclate...), not to mention all the literature available to read, the freeview TV/DVD player in each room... I could go on... Breakfast was delicious too, comprised of an array of cold organic items (cereal, yoghurt, fresh raspberries/blueberries, honey, juices) and then the tasty hot element, which was lovingly made and carefully presented. Lisa even caters for coeliacs, and has gluten free bread available upon request. The bed was cosy and the rooms were spotlessly clean - this place is really all you could ask for. This is a great find and perfectly placed within the area to discover the local tourist spots. Thank you Clive and Lisa for a wonderful stay!
