  • "Very spacious & clean."

    The double glazing was not fit for purpose. The road noise was horrendous, especially at weekends due to the motorbikes constantly revving up as they rode by.. Cars were noisy even after 11pm, therefore we had a disrupted week of sleeping. On Friday 18th evening a constant sound in the strong wind was the cafe bellows sign banging against the wall. This is not the place to go if you want a quiet relaxing holiday by the sea.! Do not take any notice of directions to car park.should be left not right!

  • "The Dorset ginger biscuits were lovely!"

    Really liked the apartment and had a great stay.

  • "The flat evidently had not seen a handyman for some time; balcony door needs attention, many of the fittings in the shower room were loose."

    The mattress on the bottom bunk was the most uncomfortable ever. Comfort was eased by putting the top bunk mattress on top of the other mattress but was still unsatisfactory as it meant I banged my head every time I wanted to get out of bed! There is room for twin beds in the second bedroom so suggest the bunk beds are replaced with one bed under the window & the second along the wall opposite the TV. If the bunk beds were replaced with single beds (with decent mattresses), I would consider returning as the location was perfect, especially with under cover parking. There were stains on the dining room chairs and the sofa. The windows were filthy. We liked the large sofa.

    Ideal base for visiting numerous local attractions. This was our second visit and we will definitely stay again.

  • "This is a really good flat well positioned in West Bay and we enjoyed being there."

    We arrived late evening and the welcome pack was particularly helpful. It’s very clean, comfortable and we experienced no noise from other apartments. Parking arrangement works well. Wouldn’t hesitate to go again. The only reason I didn't give cleanliness top score is that the windows were very stained by sea gulls of which there are many! Cleaner windows would be great but it’s not really a complaint.

  • "Lovely flat, with a superb sized en-suite."

    Very comfortable for 2 adults, plus 2 children. Don't think it would be so good for 4 adults. Excellent location. Would definitely return.

  • "Superb flat, exactly what we wanted."

    Very comfortable, with plenty of space, and a great position. The only, very minor, issue we had was the toilet in the ensuite. The flush needed some practice to work correctly.

  • "This is our 3rd time staying at this apartment and it never disappoints."

    It is a perfect location for us and has the added bonus of a lift and parking space - both of which are important for us. Inside is well presented and very clean. It has everything you need in the kitchen - except for egg cups!! We will definitely be back again and would recommend this apartment to anyone planning a trip to the area.

  • "Good secure parking."

    The apartment was very clean, and the wonderful welcome pack was a nice touch. The only slight negative was the drain smell in the en-suit. Would gladly stay here again.

    We are sorry to hear of the drain smell and will ask the housekeeper to investigate and rectify the issue. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

  • "Perfectly located within 250m of the harbour at West Bay and views inland of the hills beyond."

    Great for walkers and those touring. The flat was exceptionally clean and tidy on arrival and has all the facilities you would require. Decor is a bit tired but not shabby. The welcome pack, including a fresh pint of milk, was gratefully received! We would definitely stay here again.

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.
