We stayed in a hotel in Lulworth. A couple that we met at new year hire a cottage every year there which i believe sleeps 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) but i dont have the details. The beach is close by but its a steep walk down to beach at durdle door so not for elderly!!
BFR - I have googled extensively for cottages etc in Studland or near beach at Lulworth Cove - but all the ones I found are fully booked for summer holidays.
I don't know any othe really nice areas around there but will look into Lyme Regis.
Try this salad. its more of a holiday park so not a cottage but has lodges to hire also. Lovely spot with stunning views on the coastline and 6 miles from Lulworth - a very good walk. There is beautiful pub there called the Smugglers Inn which does outdoor barbies in the summer.
Also worth visiting near Lulworth Cove is Tyneham:

Tyneham was cleared by the army during WWII so the British/US army could practice for D Day, the intention was that the villagers would move back after the war but the army kept the area as a gun range. The houses are ruined and some pulled down but the Church has been restored and so has the school house. Worth an hour or two of your time if only to see how people lived a couple of generations and more back.
Thanks everyone - plan's changed (now have cottage on IoW for a week), but still looking for a campsite. I shall look into Osmington Mills ..... thanks Curb It ...

Not all of Studland beach is a nudist beach, but it does get a bit windy there...
Lulworth Cove is nice, a couple of pubs and good walking teritory.
Consider also Lyme Regis.
The walk is brilliant, great scenery, theres also a nice pub there.
Also it's closer to the Tesco (Axminster), a 3 minute drive from there!
ill have a look.

The walk from Lulworth Cove to Durdle Door is not too bad.
Saying that the walk down to The Durdle Door beach bit is far from safe lol.
