+Easy to find, perfect for just sleeping, bed was comfortable. Just very good basic ammenities, we could take the dog
−Very much in the owners house, we went via the back as that was the signage, much better going in through the front

“Fab!”
+My friends and I were in Lulworth for a hiking weekend and spent 1 night at Lancresse. We had a fab stay! The location was easy to get to the Jurassic Coast. Steve was a warm and welcoming host. His home has a wonderful energy about it, and we enjoyed his eclectic taste and free spirit. The kitchen has everything you'll need for a short or longer stay. We enjoyed his beautiful garden and were even treated to a live session on his guitar, with singing! What a treat! Thank you, Steve, for a warm and memorable stay. All the best.

“Very convenient and easy place to stay. Thanks Steve.”
+The host was lovely, friendly and easy to get on with and he made us feel very at home. The accommodation comfortable and accessible. The area lovely and quiet.
−The lounge retained a ‘fusty’ smell maybe from having owned a dog. Just in need of fresh air/ air freshener in the room.

“Welcoming.”
+Steve was very welcoming and friendly host. He runs the business at his home and makes you feel like it’s a home from home.
−Nothing we didn’t like, everything as expected and listed.

+Steve was a welcoming host and basically gave me the run of the house! I could use the kitchen and my room was comfortable and had everything I needed.

“Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.”
+This is a bedroom in a house still occupied by the owner. The value for money was pretty good. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and facilities were clean. It was very close to the attraction that was my main reason for the trip
−Overall the house smelled of damp/must. There was no fan provided and no AC on some of the hottest days on record in the UK. The room, while clean, was also very outdated and getting pretty tatty around the edges. There was too much large furniture in a relatively small room, so moving around always had something in the way. The furniture and the bedding were all mismatched. It was kinda like staying in your old aunt's house overnight as a kid. It was hard to find the location as the signage was somewhat hidden in the hedge. Parking for the two cars of the guests was pretty tight.

“Great value accommodation in a peaceful location - ideal for exploring the local area.”
+Steve is a great host, very welcoming and friendly and full of good local knowledge. Our room was very clean as was the shared bathroom and the bed was comfy. We had full use of the kitchen if we wanted which was an added bonus. Lancresse is in a quiet location but easy walking distance to the village centre and a couple of pubs - whilst the railway is close, you dont notice it.
