About this property

Enjoying stunning, coastal views across West Bay in Dorset is Sandy Combe, a fabulous, reverse-level home. Just paces away from the beach and a hub of activity, Sandy Combe offers a contemporary and well-equipped base for a large group break, inviting eight guests and two furry companions to enjoy the Dorset AONB. Park up on the private driveway, taking in the breath-taking cliff vistas from your new abode. Step indoors to be greeted by four, ground-floor bedrooms, including three doubles, one of which benefits from an en-suite, and a twin bedroom, providing plenty of space to rest. On the ground floor you'll also locate a handy utility, a lovely garden room with views out to the garden, offering the ideal place to unwind with a good book, and the family bathroom. Travel upstairs to be wowed by the open-plan living space, where you can relax, prepare and enjoy delicious meals, and bask in your surroundings upon the balcony, overlooking the glistening coastline. If you'd prefer to dine alfresco, make the most of your private garden, where you can enjoy the sunshine and toast to your getaway, before exploring your surroundings some more. Head into West Bay to stock up on the essentials, to dine out, and to relish in a beach day, where you can also hike along the West Bat Promenade or follow the Jurassic Coast trail for a fabulous vantage point. Stop off in Bridport for a round of golf at the Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club or brush up on your local knowledge at Bridport Museum, whilst the renowned Chesil Beach, resting upon the West Dorset Heritage Coast is nearby, where you can relax, build sandcastles, and enjoy an afternoon of water sports. Round off your seascape in Lyme Regis, home to the Lyme Regis Museum, the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, and the delightful Lyme Regis Fossil Beach, perfect for fossil hunting, before returning home in time for sundowners. Take to the coast with Sandy Combe as your home-from-home.

At the western extremity of the dramatic pebbly Chesil Beach, West Bay—also known as "The Gateway to the Dorset Jurassic Coast" and made popular by the television series Broadchurch—is situated near to the magnificent sandstone cliffs of Golden Cap. In addition to offering beautiful walks along the South West Coast Path and plenty of opportunity to try your hand at sea fishing, crabbing, boating, and golf, this great beachfront setting is ideal for family vacations. TE Lawrence's and Thomas Hardy's residences, the Tank Museum in Bovington, or the Naval Air Museum in Yeovil are all worthwhile visits. The thriving market town of Bridport, which is portrayed in the television series River Cottage, is only 1.5 miles distant.

    Stylish and well equipped, it really felt like home for our very sunny week in Dorset. We loved the sea views and the 20 metre walk from the garden gate to the cliff top benches, enjoying a glass of wine whilst taking in the stunning views and the glorious sunsets. We loved every minute of our stay here and we really didn’t want to go home…especially our two dogs who thoroughly enjoyed living their best life by the sea. The gorgeous welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. Thank you so much to the owners for sharing their lovely home and if you rent it out again next year, I’m sure we will be back.

    Everything you could wish for stunning house, and views from the house looking over west bay beach & harbour are to die for

    It’s barely 30 seconds straight onto the coastal path from a private residents only access one way and another minute the other way onto West Beach and into West Bay centre. We really enjoyed the open plan upstairs and spent too many hours rain or shine getting lost in the seaview. We wanted a quiet beach holiday so was happy with off season West Bay which still provided plenty of options for all our needs. Judging from the holiday parks around West Bay, we imagine it gets heaving in summer months. As the other guests mentioned we also received a lovely hamper with tasty Dorset treats! Yummy! We would recommend the host consider providing some cleaning products and extra tea towels and bin liner. We didn’t find any recycling facility which is weird as the other residents had recycling and composting bins. If we were ever back in Dorset, would definitely be looking to stay in Sandy Combe again!
