Phillip was a wonderful host and made us feel incredibly welcome. The cottage had everything we could have asked for plus more ! So many nice little touches. Ideal location for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Lulworth cove is only a short drive...

I have been hosting guest at Stable Cottage for over 20 years. Its great to receive feedback from guests about how they have enjoyed the Jurassic coast (Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are very close) and our local pub in the village. my main interests are travel and organising Kon Tiki Type expeditions, of which I done three in the last 20 years: the Borobudur Ship Expedition, the Phoenician Ship Expedition and the Phoenicians Before Columbus Expedition. I have written 2 books on these expeditions: Sailing close to the Wind and Atlantic BC - An epic recreation of a Phoenician Voyage 2000 years before Columbus. Available at AtlanticBC dot net
The best thing about the village of Chaldon Herring is that it is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Lulworth but just a few minutes away by car to visit Lulworth and Durdle Door or it is possible to walk to Durdle Door from the cottage in just over an hour. We also have a great local pub, the Sailors Return, just 300 meters away that serves very good food and drink. Normally open Wednesdays through to Sundays.
