Home Page for dorsetbandb Comfortable, friendly en-suite B&B accommodation in a tranquil and secluded corner of coastal Dorset, close to Lulworth Cove , Monkey World and the Tank Museum, on the edge of the Purbecks. Limekiln House is in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, about one mile from the South West Coastal Path and the Jurassic Coast at Durdle Door, 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 and is accessed via a bridleway. The track continues traffic-free past the house, through a quiet valley to the coast near Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, with breath-taking views of the Purbecks and the coast from St Aldhelm's Head to Portland Bill.
The house is set in an acre of terraced hillside overlooking the Dorset countryside. There was originally a lime-maker's cottage where the house now stands. The house is comfortable, spacious and ideally located for exploring south Dorset. Guests are welcome to enjoy the terraced and lawned arden; swing under the beech tree, play croquet or just sunbathe and relax. The grassy valleys leading to the coast remain off the tourist trail and are completely unspoilt. Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Man O'War Bay, can be reached using bridleways and footpaths, traffic-free and peaceful 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 |
