Durdle Door Coastal Retreat

A 1-night, story-rich, cosy camping pod trip inspired by Enid Blyton’s "The Rubadub Mystery."

Escape into this story-rich retreat inspired by Enid Blyton’s “The Rubadub Mystery.” Based in cosy camping pods near the iconic Durdle Door, this two-night journey blends coastal adventure, literary reflection, and soulful connection.

Day 1: We begin by visiting Stair Hole, a dramatic cove carved by time into folded washboard cliffs and natural arches, where swirling patterns and whirlpools echo the wild spirit of Blyton’s mystery tales.

After dinner we'll chase the sunset, soaking in sea air and stirring beauty of the coastline that once sparked Blyton’s imagination.

Day 2: After breakfast, we take a steady, slow walk down to Lulworth Cove. From here we journey by boat to Durdle Door, experiencing the quiet coves from the sea, inviting reflection and imagination.

Back on land, we stop at the local gift shop and share a final meal, create our own 'storyboard' from our adventure, before the journey home.

Note: All key expenses are included. Full payment is required one week before our adventure begins. For now you're simply booking to secure your space.

All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
