“The property was wonderful!”

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, in a great location and with superb views. It was spacious, with high ceilings and large rooms, apart from the smaller twin bedroom, which was still fine. We had engaging grandstand views of the harbour and sea, including the huge waves caused by the latest storm. We didn’t have a car but could walk from the door and use buses to explore and walk further afield. Everything worked well, and my only suggestion is that the owners buy a new ...

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, in a great location and with superb views. It was spacious, with high ceilings and large rooms, apart from the smaller twin bedroom, which was still fine. We had engaging grandstand views of the harbour and sea, including the huge waves caused by the latest storm. We didn’t have a car but could walk from the door and use buses to explore and walk further afield. Everything worked well, and my only suggestion is that the owners buy a new visitors’ book and leave it out so these comments can be written in it!

“Lovely apartment with fantastic views over West Bay and the surrounding beaches and countryside.”

The apartment has everything you need and more for a real home away from home holiday and the support staff at Lyme Bay Holidays are the best you can have if needed, friendly , caring and helpful. All in all a wonderful time was had by all and hopefully we will be back soon.

“Lovely apartment, light and roomy with wonderful 360 degree views.”

Well equipped and comfortable. This is our second visit to this apartment and we have already booked for later in the summer. Excellent.

“A lovely few days the only criticism I have is that I couldn’t get the shower in the en suite hot enough Very comfortable with lovely views we also booked 2 Drift Wood for the rest of the family.”

We scattered my husband’s ashes by drone over the sea early Saturday morning. It was my husband’s favourite place, he was born in Bridport so he’s back home

“A stunning apartment which fully deserves a 5 star rating.”

Wonderful scenic views from the balcony which encompasses the property (unfortunately weather was too chilly to take full advantage during our stay). We have booked again for next summer! Two areas may require some maintenance. 1). En suite window does not close and 2). One of the full size blinds in main living area does not unfold completely. Finally, have to mention that our apartment was cleaned to an exceptionally high standard. Well done! J Taylor

“A lovely apartment with beautiful views.”

Lots of space and very well equipped. Perfect for exploring the Jurassic coast and hunting for fossils, and walks along the coast path. Lovely choice of restaurants. We went to Rise and the Watch Point cafe. Both had lovely food and great service. The Station Kitchen looked amazing but it was fully booked!

“A lovely apartment Noticed some new furniture since our last visit which was very stylish The towel rail in the bathroom with the bath in tripped the lights in the rooms off the corridor Just so you are aware of it We just switched the lever back on the board so it wasn't a problem It happened when we switched it on outside the bathroom door Also the shower head in the ensuite bathroom could do with descaling A lovely weekend was had by all!”

Thank you so much

“Overall our stay was fabulous.”

We did have terrible trouble with the key safe outside No. 25. It just wouldn't open. We happened to speak to a neighbour on the groundfloor, who said he'd had the same problem. Eventually it did open, even though we hadn't done anything different. Also, the far end blind in the living room was stuck and wouldn't close. The cables in many of the blinds were twisted and sometimes difficult to open/close, although they all did eventually. I wonder if the installer could do a maintenance visit from time to time. We found the long sofa somewhat uncomfortable as it seemed to slope. We dealt with this by putting several cushions on top. Maybe it needs serious plumping up or refilling. Please don't let these comments take away from the fact that the apartment is fabulous and it is great that the owners act upon receiving feedback. We would really like to come back, but believe a five night stay may not be possible next year, according to the website - minimum booking is a week. Is this the case?

“I needed the penthouse to be covid cleaned as I have a illness it was spotless really imnpreessed .”

“What a stunning property with a fantastic view of the harbour and coastline.”

We were really lucky with the weather and made good use of the sun loungers and outside space! The lovely welcome goodie bag was much appreciated. Fantastic facilities and a great location to explore the Jurassic coast should you want to or simply enjoy time relaxing in West Bay.

“The penthouse has wonderful views over the harbour which can’t be seen when sitting on the settee or chairs as they are so low - and hard!”

The terrace at the side looks directly into two of the neighbouring flats so close that you can hold a conversation without raising your voice. The single bed swayed when sat on. Having said that the flat was clean well presented and a great TV 5 G reception on phone too!

About the location

WEST BAY

Bridport 1.5 miles; Lyme Regis 11 miles

West Bay, fondly known as “The Gateway to the Dorset Jurassic Coast” and popularised by the TV series Broadchurch, lies close to the glorious sandstone cliffs of Golden Cap, at the western end of the dramatic pebbly Chesil Beach. This is a wonderful seaside location, perfect for family holidays, offering scenic walks along the South West Coast Path, as well as ample opportunities to try your hand at sea fishing, crabbing, boating and golf. Visit the homes of Thomas Hardy and TE Lawrence, the Tank Museum at Bovington or the Naval air Museum at Yeovil. Only 1.5 miles away is the vibrant market town of Bridport, featured in the TV series, River Cottage. The area holds plenty of attractions to suit the whole family! Just a short drive West takes you to Charmouth for fossil hunting, to the picturesque seaside resort of Lyme Regis, and to River Cottage HQ near Axminster. To the East are the lovely Sub-tropical Gardens and Swannery at Abbotsbury, and the golden sands of Weymouth. This wonderful location makes an ideal base for a great family holiday.
