Profit
Is an Airbnb in West Lulworth Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average West Lulworth Airbnb took in £33,054 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,660 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about £2,880 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £4,390 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £2,020 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,420 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How West Lulworth's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of West Lulworth listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 46% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £185 adds about £1,850 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £310 a night or more, against a median of £185. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about £2,870 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £6,420, against £1,870 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. West Lulworth listings average 4.82 stars, and 48% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about £4,730 a month, against £2,750 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in West Lulworth?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in West Lulworth?

Is Airbnb profitable in West Lulworth?
Yes, when it's run well. The average West Lulworth Airbnb grossed £33,054 in the 12 months to September 2026, 70% above the England average of £19,455. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, £19,904 a year (about £1,660 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about £2,880 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
