Welcome! Trish and Rob welcome you to Limekiln House on the edge of Chaldon Herring, a picturesque Dorset village with thatched cottages, a green and a cosy, friendly thatched pub with good ales and food, less than half a mile away. We're a mile or so from the Jurassic Coast near Durdle Door and about three miles from Lulworth Cove, both can be reached directly from the house by footpaths and bridleways through small, quiet, unspoilt valleys, with no roads to cross. We're close enough for you to enjoy all that the Dorset coast has to offer, but in a tranquil rural setting without the crowds and traffic, no noise to disturb you apart from birdsong and the occasional tractor!

The bridleway continues to the coast with footpaths to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and the coastal path.
The bridleways continues past the house, through the valleys to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and the South-West Coastal Path. The house was originally the local lime maker's cottage but has been extensively extended and upgraded, mostly by us in the past few years. We can't claim to be a quaint thatched Dorset cottage, but our en-suite bedrooms are good-sized, comfortable and airy, with all modern facilities, power showers, two with full-size baths as well, large picture windows with stunning views and no attic rooms. No neighbours, houses or roads to spoil the outlook or the peace and quiet. There's parking for all guests' cars, a large private garden with recliners, breakfast on the patio, three swings under the large beech tree, croquet and boules if you like and we are surrounded by fields, trees and wildlife. We think it's perfect!
