About this property

Enjoying a superb location close to the scenic town of West Bay in Dorset is this beautifully presented third-floor apartment, The Penthouse. Perfect for families or couples travelling together, the accommodation is spacious and luxuriously appointed. Its elevated setting means the apartment is able to offer simply mesmerising views from its stunning terrace and the property directly overlooks picturesque West Bay harbour making it a simply magnificent spot for enjoying some time alfresco drinking, dining, soaking up the views and generally getting into the holiday spirit. The entrance hall opens out into the gorgeous open-plan living space which makes the most of those captivating views with feature floor-to-ceiling windows. The large windows also help to create a real feeling of light as sunlight comes flooding in adding to the bright and airy ambience of the apartment. There is a welcoming seating area where you can imagine spending many happy hours enjoying each other’s company and chilling out and the sleek and contemporary kitchen is comprehensively fitted with everything you could possibly need to create some fabulous cuisine for you and your family. Once you have prepared the food, step into the elegant dining area where it is all set up ready for long, lingering meals. The space offered by the apartment is made for entertaining and lends itself to a truly sociable holiday time. When night falls and sleep calls, make your way to either of the two splendidly presented bedrooms, either the king-size or the twin, both with impressive French doors leading out onto the balcony and offering enchanting harbourside views. After a long soak in the bath or a quick refreshing shower, you’re ready to head out and explore the delights of Dorset. West Bay is a picture-postcard town with beautiful beaches, glorious cliffs and scenic coastal walks so make sure you don’t forget your camera. Bridport is a short drive away along the Jurassic Coastline and has a good selection of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants and more delightful beaches with Lyme Regis also nearby where you can visit Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Lyme Regis Museum and Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium. Other places worth a visit whilst in the area include Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, Tunnel Tree Tops high ropes and zip wire, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, Pecorama and Seaton Tramway. For an elevated stay in an elevated apartment, The Penthouse is a must-visit.

West Bay, fondly known as “The Gateway To The Dorset Jurassic Coast” and popularised by the TV series Broadchurch, lies close to 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. Visits the homes on Thomas Hardy and TE Lawrence, The Tank Museum at Bovington or the Naval Air Museum at Yeovil. 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.
