Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently commend the property for its cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting the immaculate condition upon arrival. The property is maintained to a high standard, contributing to the overall positive experience.

The location is frequently celebrated for its proximity to the beach, local shops, and eateries. The picturesque views of the harbour and cliffs are a standout feature, making it a desirable spot for visitors.

The property is described as comfortable, with particular praise for the quality of the beds and the well-appointed living space. However, some guests mention difficulties with parking and shower accessibility for those with disabilities, which slightly impacts the comfort score.

The property boasts a well-equipped kitchen and high-quality fixtures, though some guests experienced issues with Wi-Fi and hot water. The parking situation is noted as challenging, particularly for larger vehicles, which affects the facilities score.

While guests mention a welcome tray with tea, cookies, and milk, there are not enough references to gifts or additional thoughtful touches to accurately score this category. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such amenities are subject to change and may not be guaranteed.

About this property

A first-floor apartment in the West Bay Harbourside development of Quay West which is featured in the ITV drama series "Broadchurch". The Boardwalk is smaller than our other apartments and priced accordingly. Furnished and decorated to a very high standard The Boardwalk was one of the show apartments in the complex. With partial views of the colourful and ever-changing harbour scene you can sit on the balcony and take in the sea air. Once inside the apartment you will find the open plan kitchen and sitting area with patio doors leading to a balcony which overlooks the harbour. The Boardwalk has two bedrooms. Take the coast path to the east heading to West Bexington or towards Seatown, in the west, with beautiful sea and country scenery along the way. The bustling market town of Bridport is nearby with numerous interesting local craft and antique shops in addition to the weekly farmers and antiques markets. West Bay is the gateway to the 'World Heritage Status' Jurassic coastline of Dorset, where fossils can be found due to the wealth of exposed rocks. West Bay's famous sandstone East Cliff is a prime example where 180 million years of history is laid bare for all to see.

West Bay, fondly known as “The Gateway To The Dorset Jurassic Coast”, nestles beneath the glorious sandstone cliffs of Golden Cap, at the western end of the dramatic pebbly Chesil Beach. This is a wonderful seaside location, perfect for family holidays, offering scenic walks along the South West Coastal Path, as well as ample opportunities to try your hand at sea fishing, golf, fossil hunting, boating, or even try scuba diving. 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 takes you to the picturesque seaside resort of Lyme Regis, the lovely sub-tropical gardens and swannery at Abbotsbury, or the golden sands of Weymouth. This wonderful location makes an ideal base for a great family holiday.

    For ' people watchers ', perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Certainly not 'small'.Very well stocked with every conceivable necessary item, and then some ! Gaining entrance proved to be pleasantly puzzling at the start, but all part of the fun ! Parking in the allocated spot was tight but not impossible. Solved by using one of the three unmarked parking places in the open parking area just inside the gates--- (as advised in the guest information pack). The lift proved to be a great help . My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay . So many possible places to eat , from the various 'shacks' by the harbour, to Haddon House Hotel for Sunday Lunch and especially 'Seagulls Restaurant ' to celebrate a birthday ! West Bay is great , but 'The Boardwalk' is special ! Definitely looking forward to our next visit !

    As previous reviewers have said, the allocated parking space is very tight to get into and to get out. We managed it best by reversing into the space. West Bay is a lively little resort, well served with pubs, takeaways, tea rooms and a small but well stocked NISA store. There is one classy restaurant, Seagull which is small, but excellent. Note that you have to book, they do not accept walk-ins, so do book, it’s a must-visit. Two suggestions to the owners - a small coffee table in the living room would be a big improvement and a washing up brush in the sink! Trivial perhaps, but would be so helpful, or ask renters to bring one with them. All in all, a great stay and we will be back!
