Introduction
For twenty-three years we have been offering comfortable, friendly Bed and Breakfast accommodation in our home set in the old Vicarage Orchard in a side road of the village of West Lulworth - and have many return guests who enjoy the ten minutes stroll to the picturesque Lulworth Cove and beautiful Dorset coast. We also have safe off road parking in our spacious walled garden.
Breakfasts are usually served between 8.30 and 9 am or earlier on request in the breakfast room which adjoins the kitchen. Cereals yogurts and fruit can be followed by: traditional English, continental, vegetarian or vegan choices. Bread, preserves, tomatoes, apple juice etc are home produced when possible.
For other meals there is a good choice of pubs and restaurants within walking distance.
The three double bedrooms all have colour TV and hot drink facilities. They all have en-suite shower rooms with toilet and washbasin. One bedroom, which can convert to a twin room, has a large south-facing balcony with views over the Purbeck Hills.
The gardens (2/3 acre) are available for your enjoyment and relaxation.Attractions of Corfe Castle, Monkey World, and Bovington Tank Museum are a short drive away
Lulworth is an excellent touring base with Weymouth, Poole, Dorchester, Wimborne and Swanage all within about half an hour drive, or less; there are many less frequented country walks and village pubs just a short distance from the coast.
For walkers the coastal scenery is outstanding being accessible by easy to moderate walks from the house.
We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any queries or require any assistance please phone 01929400592 or email jennyandjohn@applegrove-lulworth.co.uk.
