Welcome to our family home –
April Thatch – close to Lulworth Cove on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline in Dorset.


April Thatch is a peaceful rural thatched cottage set in the quiet and pretty hamlet of Coombe Keynes just a few minutes inland from Lulworth Cove and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast.

It is in an ideal situation to stay for exploring the coast, the Isle of Purbeck and surrounding areas of Dorset.

For walkers there are numerous stunning walks in the area as well as a new path just opened in the last couple of years that gives direct access from April Thatch through Lulworth Castle grounds and the army ranges (when open) to South West Coastal Path, half way between Lulworth Cove and Kimmeridge bay. Read a brief history of the area.

The cottage is grade 2 listed and parts are thought to date back to the 16 hundreds with a thatched roof and some cob walls. It is surrounded by the garden, much wildlife with rolling fields and woods all around.bedroom
Inside is simple with white walls, wooden floors and contemporary paintings. Click here to see more detail.

We offer one double en-suite room with TV and tea & coffee making facilities along with a full english breakfast. We sometimes also have another double room available which shares the family bathroom.

We charge: £75 for the en-suite and £75 for the other room per night, based on a couple sharing and including the breakfast. £5 extra for single night bookings.

Your hosts are John & Carole (and Lily a young Golden Retriever) have lived and worked in Dorset for many years and can offer you a world of advice on the area. Carole is an artist and John runs his own Coastal Gardening design business.
