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.

    The property had everything we needed for a great holiday celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with family. Very comfortable and clean with fantastic views of West Bay and out to sea. We will definitely book again if available next year. We all love West Bay.

  • Sarah

    Thank you. Sadly there were 5 loads of dog mess left by the previous people. We had four young children with us so that really was bad for us to find on arrival. It was all over the garden. Secondly, please find a way to offer recycling. Telling holiday makers to drive to the tip is unreasonable and people won’t do it. It’s 2024- we must all do better for our planet. Other properties had lots of different bins. Overall we loved it though. Very well equipped place with beautiful views. We had a fabulous time.

    You can’t talk to anyone. This is important to get your Holiday right So when I had to report a problem, they couldn’t talk to me because I didn’t have my reference number that is Unacceptable !
