Adjacent to the harbour with views of the water, this charming apartment is situated in the very heart of West Bay.

The Jurassic Coast provides an ideal starting point for an exciting getaway, offering a variety of activities directly accessible from the harbour, such as a boat trip to Lyme Regis and fishing adventures in the bay. Enthusiastic walkers will discover countless scenic routes in the vicinity, including the South West Coast Path, which traverses the Bay and leads to Weymouth. Within 3 miles you can explore bustling Bridport, Burton Bradstock, Symondsbury and Eype.

There are views over the harbour, space to dine just opposite and a contemporary kitchen area to the right. Stairs lead down from here to the bathroom or head back out into the entrance hallway where you'll find the inviting bedroom, which completes the accommodation.

Heading outside from the communal hallway you will find a shared, open lawn to the front of the property and the beach only 100m away.

Flat was incredibly clean when we arrived and it's location is excellent being right by the harbour and the beach. The bed was very comfortable and having smart televisions in the lounge and bedroom was excellent. The harbour area has numerous excellent bars, restaurants and food kiosk. We were spoilt for choice of where to eat. If shopping is yourRead more thing, you do need to drive the two miles into Bridport which has a good selection of shops and eating places. Hide

The flat is beautifully presented and well equipped although we ate out every evening and didn't cook at all! The dedicated parking space is a real plus as parking in West Bay can be expensive. It was great having the second TV in the comfortable bedroom and the bathroom is well appointed. A great property to which we will hopefully return.
