Steve and April have provided a modern, beautifully decorated apartment in a Grade 2 listed building which has views both front and back of West Bay. It could not be situated in a more perfect position. Your knees need to cope with the stairs but we are long retired and it’s good exercise! We parked our car out the front and left it there - our bus passes got us to Weymouth, Lyme Regis and all points in between. The view of Chesil Beach from the top of the bus is stunning. The pubs have good food although the apartment is well equipped for cooking ( we bought fish straight from the red fishing boat in the harbour)

We had a wonderful stay in Steve and April's apartment, which is very comfortable and ideally located in West Bay, with sea and harbour views and it's only a few steps from the beach, pubs, cafe's and shops. I'd recommend this place as a great place to stay for couples, wanting to explore the Jurassic coast, or just go for some lovely coastal walks.

We had a lovely few day's away. Unfortunately the weather was against us. The flat was 1st class and spotlessly clean. We will be back for sure. I did manage to fish off the marina wall and caught a small strap Conger and a Pouting. We also got locked in the car park for 2 day's due to the weather. So we got a takeaway or 2 and watched the TV. Love West Bay and can't wait to come back. Kind regards Richard and Allison 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🐳🐳

Very convenient location with free parking, next to East and West Cliff beaches, cafes/restaurants, great views from the top floor flat - sea and fishing boats, a nice spot for breakfast and relaxing morning and evening (or on the beach), lovely coastal walks to neighbouring villages (Eype via West Cliff walk & Hive Beach, other side of East Cliff with a - diverted sign posted walk via a golf course). The apartment itself is so comforting, lovely shower and bed, CD player, and calm to read with nearby sea sounds, it has a really nice layout and character being in a 1880's historic building Pier Terrace (which has an interesting history in West Bay - the book by Marian Taylor is a nice read). An ideal retreat in the warmth last week.

Nice clean apartment
Nice clean apartment with everything provided that you could need - wifi (good speed as we could watch the golf on Sky Sports on our laptop without buffering), dishwasher, and washing machine were particularly important for us. Everything worked, although the fridge door has a a damaged hinge and as a consequence was not as cold as it should have been.
Apartment on the harbour so costal path walks literally on your doorstep. West Bay a nice location.
Would recommend this apartment. I would add (not that it was an issue for us) that there were a lot of stairs, so if you struggle climbing three flights of stairs we warned.
Communication with the owner was good and easy instructions on how to get in, places to eat were provided. All worked very well.

Great stay great location
We loved the apartment and would recommend it, the views are great and we loved our stay. We used the local bus service to travel around the area but liked West bay the best.

A perfect apartment in a brilliant location right next to the harbour. Very clean and well equipped all you need for a relaxing holiday. This apartment is on the 3rd floor so there are 3 flights of stairs to climb which means the views from every window are fantastic.
Highly recommended

An absolute gem
Spent a few lovely days in the wonderful West Bay in an absolutely
spotless and cosy apartment with superb views from every window.
Very good communication with Steve who left a lovely welcome note with wine and biscuits. It was a fantastic base to come back to after a day out exploring the area. The Jurassic coast is a favourite with us both and we intend to be back soon and use this cosy apartment again (please note it is on the top floor and there are approximately 48 stairs to reach it- not that were counting!)
