The owners Lisa and Clive Orchard said: "We really do feel so grateful to be able to meet and accommodate guests from all over the world, who have come to Lulworth Cove to experience England's spectacular World Heritage listed Jurassic Coastline.

"Helping our guests to have the best possible experience of Dorset is of utmost importance to us, and so it's genuinely heart-warming to be recognised by them for what we do."
