About this property
Offering direct access to the world heritage Jurassic Coast and overlooking the harbour at West Bay, Harbour View Apartment is a beautiful contemporary first floor apartment.
Accommodating up to four guests in two comfortable bedrooms Harbour View Apartment has all rooms on one level offering step free level access. With an excellent standard of fittings and furnishings throughout this property has been finished to a very high standard.
Immediately adjacent to the colourful harbour, the apartment has harbour and sea views all the way out to the horizon from its balcony.
Begin your day with breakfast on your balcony while listening to the call of the seagulls, the lap of the waves as the tides rises and ebbs and the sea pleasure seekers leave the harbour. At the end of the day enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the flotilla of boats return and fishermen unload their catch in this fascinating and ever-changing harbour scene.
Located within the heart of the beautiful fishing port of West Bay and recently featured in the ITV drama series 'Broadchurch', Quay West is a stunning, high quality development in a prized harbour position. A leisurely 10-15 minute stroll away you can pick up your morning magazine from the local shop and grab a coffee, relax and unwind on the bench and enjoy the morning peace and quiet.
Famed as the South West's premier seafood venue offering provincially caught, as fresh as can be, seafood and a superb all-round menu, you will find a number of restaurants and bars. Also available with the port is a choice of home cooked pub food or simple fish and chips which can be enjoyed on the harbour wall. You can take the coast path to the east towards West Bexington or the West towards Seatown, with stunning coastal and country scenery along the way. The market town of Bridport with its traditional weekly market is only a short drive or bus journey away.
Perfectly situated Harbour View Apartment is the ideal holiday home for those looking for an apartment with stunning views and a short stroll away from the beach.
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.

We didn't realise you had to drive between two concrete pillars with limited maneuverability. In the kitchen I think the addition of a tea tray would be a good idea, it would save multible journeys to the balconies, if you want to have breakfast etc outside. Apart from that it was a very nice flat with lovely views.

As we didn't go out in the evening it was great having a quality TV. Dishwasher was asking for salt and we couldn't find scissors, wasn't an issue though as we bought a pair locally. Would suggest putting a support in the shower to hold shampoo, soap, gel etc. Thank you, nice time had.

The cleanliness was awful. I spent the first hour or so cleaning so that we could enjoy our week. There were toenails on the lounge floor, loads of dust under the furniture. The sinks had never seen bleach or any sort of cleaning product. The plug in the bath and bathroom sink did not work. We were told by Dream Cottages to prize them with a knife! All in all far from satisfactory. We have stayed in Apartment 3, three times and it has been pristine.
