Home Page Comfortable and friendly B&B accommodation in a tranquil and secluded corner of coastal Dorset, on the edge of the Purbecks and close to Lulworth Cove. Limekiln House is in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, about one mile from the South West Coastal Path and the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site. The house is 250 yards off the lane between the villages of Chaldon Herring, also called East Chaldon, and Winfrith Newburgh. Access is via a bridleway. The track continues traffic-free past the house and through picturesque, quiet valleys to the coast between Durdle Door and Ringstead Bay, close to Lulworth Cove.
The house is set in an acre of terraced hillside overlooking the Dorset countryside. Originally there was a lime-maker's cottage where the house now stands. The small disused, hillside chalk quarry is nearby. Limekiln is a comfortable, airy house with en-suite rooms and ideally located for exploring south Dorset. Guests are welcome to enjoy the garden and the views, play croquet or just sunbathe and relax. The grass valleys leading to the coast have remained off the tourist trail and are completely unspoilt. Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Man O'War Bay, can be reached using bridleways and footpaths, with no roads to cross. The local thatched village pub is The Sailor's Return, half a mile away, with restaurant, bar meals and a wide selection of local real ales. The village store, post office, newsagent and hairdresser in Winfrith Newburgh are one mile.
The bridleway continues past the house, through the valley and on to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door |
