  • "A truly lovely ground floor flat with the added bonus of on site parking."

    The flat is very clean and well maintained, which together with the generous welcome pack and flowers was a bonus to greet any guest. The owners have given a lot of thought to welcome people to this property and take great care to ensure guests enjoy their stay. The flat is ideally placed ,being minutes away from the beach,harbour,local shops ,pubs,cafes and restaurants.

  • "Found property very clean and surprisingly large for a one bed apartment."

    Conveniently placed, with all mod con’s available. Access to EV parking Close bye which was a help. Being late September found the evenings chilly, took a little working out to get electric fire working, as the central heating just didn’t seem to work. However a very pleasant stay. Welcoming food parcel was great fully received, as we had a very long journey 10 hours on the road. Mostly due to closure of M25 and great deal of traffic.

    We are very sorry that you were unable to work the central heating. We will update and improve the information in the folder. We hope it did not spoil your stay. Property Owner

    Really enjoyed morning and evening walks round the harbour. Very comfortable bed, kitchen was well equipped and everything was very clean. Our only slight niggle was we didn't find the seating in the living room particularly comfortable. It wouldn't put us off a future visit though if we were in the area again.

  • "What a well appointed and well kept property."

    The welcome hamper was a treat. The owners have clearly thought of everything you might need during your visit. A special mention for Jo, who called us because she was worried that insufficient towels had been left, there were plenty but thank you anyway. Position superb, can't get much closer to the beach or harbour plus a dedicated parking spot, very handy in such a well visited area. Summary, couldn't do better wether you're walkers, beach bums or foodies we'd definitely book again.

  • "We had a great time at Beach Side."

    The flat is comfortable & well equipped with everything you need to enjoy a great stay. The only negative was the water pressure in the shower, but I understand that the owners are currently in discussions with Wessex Water to find a solution. As far as local establishments to recommend for eating. Rachels in the harbour is brilliant, but you must book & only open from 12 to 3. Seagulls opposite the flat is excellent. Great food & service, & reasonably prices too. We went twice during our stay. West Bay Hotel is poor so don’t bother. Just look on TA for current reviews.

    Just to let you know that the water problem is all solved, but it included Wessex Water digging up the car park. We hope that it did not spoil your stay. Property Owner

    The accomodation is excellent it is clean and has everything you need for a great holiday everything is good quality from the bedding to the lovely hamper left by the hosts. A great bonus is the parking space, you can just leave your vehicle and use the great bus service to all other locations . You can walk out of the accomodation and straight to the beach or to the harbour which both lead to great coastal walks, A very dog friendly place, even able to travel on the buses. We got to meet the host who if you needed was on hand. Could not fault anything about the place and would highly recommend to anyone. You would not be disappointed.
