The Pink House Lulworth
Perfectly positioned for walking, cycling and sightseeing The Pink House is close to the famous horseshoe shaped Lulworth Cove and iconic limestone arch at Durdle Door. The Jurassic Coast, now declared a World Heritage Site, is accessible via footpaths from the house and here you can enjoy breathtaking walks along the South West Coast Path.
The Pink House is a post war semi detached property with uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside.
Tucked away from the usual tourist traps and popular hot spots at West Lulworth, the Pink House is a great base to escape the crowds and experience the delights of Dorset's famous landmarks.
The house itself is spacious and homely with a large open plan lounge/dining area, underfloor heating in all rooms downstairs, comfortable furniture and modern essentials such as WiFi, smart TV, etc. French double doors (from the dining area) open directly onto the paved patio which leads up to the garden with outdoor seating, lawn/play area, BBQ and herbs for cooking.
Adjacent to the lounge is a snug/study area with smart TV, library of books, local guidebooks and walking/touring maps of Dorset.
The country style kitchen with garden views has been updated to include slate quarry tiles, fitted kitchen, oven, hob, fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine.
Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms with good sized double/single beds and quality mattresses, as well as pure cotton sheets, feather duvets and pillows.
The bathroom has a walk in shower, bath, vanity sink unit and WC.
There is also a 2nd separate toilet and wash basin upstairs which is adjacent to the main bathroom.
Throughout the house there are many personal touches including handmade mosaic mirrors, beachcomber mobiles of driftwood and glass, recycled objets d'art and other memorabilia collected from our travels.
If you are a family seeking a hideaway holiday, an active group of friends eager to explore, a wedding party celebrating at nearby Lulworth Castle or just interested in discovering the delights of Thomas Hardy's Dorset then the Pink House is the perfect place to come and stay in a country setting close by the sea.
Amenities include off road parking for 2 cars only.
Pure cotton bed linen, bathroom towels, electricity, WiFi and central heating included.
There is a full sized cot with mattress plus highchair.
Responsible pet owners and their well behaved dogs (minimum age 12 months) are welcome although, unfortunately, we cannot accept guests with cats.
As a courtesy to other guests there is no smoking policy within the house
In nearby Wareham, Wool or Lulworth you can sample Dorset specialties, buy locally caught fresh fish and shellfish, try a range of tasty goods at the well stocked delicatessens, health food store and organic farm shop or discover Purbeck arts & crafts from around the area.
If you don't want to drive the Weld Arms Pub, Lulworth Castle & Tea Rooms and Lulworth Equestrian Centre are all within easy walking distance.
Please note : the Lulworth Ranges are a six mile stretch of coastline requisitioned by the MOD during WWII which extends from Lulworth Cove to Kimmeridge Bay. The ranges are open to the public during school holidays and almost all weekends. Intermittent firing from the ranges can be heard throughout the entire Lulworth to Kimmeridge area during the week and in school term time although it is perfectly safe and none of our local walks are affected by closures. Occasional night time firing does occur when the ranges are closed to the public.
