Lovely apartment
We had a three night stay in West Bay in early December. The apartment was well equipped and comfortable, and had everything that we needed and more. The location was great, very close to the harbour and the beach, and only a couple of minutes walk to an excellent pub.

Great apartment in lovely location
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.

A very welcome stay by a very beautiful coastline.
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.

Love West Bay
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)

Failed fishing trip due to bad weather
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 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🐳🐳

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.
