West Bay Holiday Home Reviews

Angela
We have just spent 4 great days at West Bay Holiday Home. The house was very comfortable, spotless and well appointed. The location and views were fantastic and the peace and quiet was wonderful! I would definitely recommend this property. It is particularly good for families with children with a fabulous play area by the side of the house.
Anne-marie
This is our 3rd consecutive year of staying in this cottage we like it so much. It is perfectly situated close to the Bay, spacious and we particularly like the changes made to the kitchen and front garden access to the key box. Perhaps some money could be invested on the ensuite bathroom next. Our only negative is the very late check in of 5pm and checkout of 10am. It doesn't take 7hrs to clean a property of this size, especially when bedding is stripped by the guests.
An amazing house in a great location. What a view!
House brilliant everything required except no cleaningdisinfectant etc to use. Location couldnt be better 10 minutes to walk to West Bay. TLC and maintenance required to patio doors, most door knobs loose. We had 2 wasp nests in brick workneed seriously looking at. But will definitely recommend and will be back.
Graham
Very nice property. Clean & tidy Reasonably price in good location Would stay again or recommend to friends
Richard
We really enjoyed our stay the house is well equipped with a nice grassed enclosed back garden. Nice quiet estate with a nice short walk to the centre of west bay on the old railway line
Kathryn
Lovely place to stay perfect for walking into West Bay and easy reach for other areas would definitely go to the area again .
Jacqueline
The house was amazing it had everything. Plenty of space safe garden for children and dog. Great location and beautiful views. Easy walking into West Bay. Would recommend to family and friends.
Lesley
This property is ideal for families happy to walk the 10 minutes to beach saving parking charges. There is a small park right next door to property and a fabulous one on the walk to the beach suitable for bigger children. The garden is big enough for a kick around. We loved the conservatoryorangery and spent most of our time in there. The garden is south facing and appears to be quite protected from winds. We had a lovely weekend 5 adults and 3 children 9, 7 and 3. The bed set us is a bit different but worked for us.
A lovely, cosy cottage with wonderful views of West Bay. West Bay is just a 10 minutes stroll from the front door. Easy access to the South West coastal path and just a short drive to Charmouth for fossil hunting.
We had a lovely holiday with all the family. Beautiful views and an easy walk into West bay. House was very comfortable and warm. Catered for all our needs. Also nice to have cot and highchair without having to pay extra. The welcome pack was really appreciated. Thank you. X
Catherine
Lovely house, slightly odd layout with single bunk but exactly as described. Perfect for our family visit to Bridport and West Bay.
We had such a lovely stay in West Bay. If anything, the house exceeded our expectations having booked relatively late, we thought we may end up in a noisy environment but it was one of the most peaceful, relaxing homes we have ever stayed in. Facilities were great, plenty of space for 7 adults, views of the bay, and lovely walks to West Bay and Bridport. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy such a wonderful week.
Andrew
We really enjoyed our stay at West Bay and were very impressed with the cottage. Clean, comfortable and well maintained. We would go back again.
Elizabeth
This was an ideal holiday home for a three generation family dog. Bedrooms were a good size with plenty of cupboard space. Lovely linen and soft white towels in the well appointed bathroom and ensuite. The 'orangery' was very comfortable we never used the sitting room or TV. The playground next door is suitable for small children but there is a much larger playground on the way to the beach only a few minutes walk away and a handy Spar.
An excellent weekend for us. A perfect location with access to West Bay and the coast. No complaints from us and thank you for the generous welcome pack.
Jeanette
Extremely clean well equipped and comfortable house with lovely views from rear of property. . The path to west bay was a big bonus. We eat at the station,seagulls and haddon house all 3 were lovely. Definitely a place to return to! There are a couple of maintenance jobs required 1. Beading in main bathroom shower base needs refixing. 2. Door handles are loose in some rooms 3. Boiler in utility is very noisymay need servicing. These are not criticisms just observations. Please thank the cleaner the house was spotless and after a bad experience last year with a filthy let in Dartmouth we were very relieved. Thank you
Andrew
A beautiful home in a fab location. Lots of space for our family with easy access to the beach, town and other areas of interest. So glad we chose West Bay and got to explore the beautiful Jurassic Coast during our stay. Arrangements were easy to follow with quick and helpful responses to our queries. A great choice for our holiday. Thank you!
The house is a great base for a family holiday. It was comfortable, clean and well equipped. We took our own garden chairs as the provided static picnic bench was a little limiting. There was also no shade in the south facing garden, which meant retreating into the house during peak sunshine. There were some plumbing issues which the owners agent dealt with promptly and in good humour. Despite these minor issues, we are more than happy with the house, its condition and location. West Bay is a great place for family visits and exploring the coast. Being a five minute footpath walk away from its surprisingly modern amenities and infrastructure was very handy. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and had an unforgettable family break.
Helen Josephine
A good holiday property. The week was greatly enjoyed by our 3 generation family dog. Garden was properly dogsafe not always the case! Best thing about the property was the lovely sun room. Situation was good with a short footpath walk to the beach and centre of village. The views of open countryside from the back of the house were beautiful. DO NOT follow satnav we drove 3 times round the little estate before we found the house!!! Would consider booking again.
Great location. Lovely house, comfortable and well furnished. A few things that could perhaps be improved. This criticism is only information for the owner to improve the experience for the customer as we would stay here again. Very thin summer duvet on the double bed for December and no spare bedding. Only six dining chairs. We were 7 adults Far too much unnecessary kitchen utensils in the kitchen drawers but no potato peeler or small sharp knife. There was 24sets of knives and forks !!!! Only two small roasting tins .Had to go and buy one for the Turkey More chopping boards would be nice. A set of wine glasses for 8 people. Some Xmas decorations would be nice being that we were there for a whole week.

On arrival we found that the majority of downstairs lighting didnt work, my husband called the contact number around 6. 30pm and she said she was going to call us, but had not. She said she would get an electrician in so await a call about access. This call nor an electrician never materialised. We left the keys in the key lock when we left the property daily which was an annoyance as it was low down and a fiddle to use. Luckly there were enough lamps to allow general usage of the lounge and dining area. Using the downstairs toilet in the evening was not as easy. Also the door knob to this facility almost fell off everytime it was used. The upstairs doors squeaked enough to disturb our friends in the en suite room as we used the bathroom during the night from our bedroom. I found a cracked glass in the cupboard, so luck that the kitchen lights still worked. The kettle had lost its whistle and if left unsupervised would have boiled dry, my husband left a note to say this for the cleaner. Which we appreciate is separate from Sykes. The garden had a lovely south facing aspect, but there were no comfortable chairs nor shade provided for its use. There was a picnic bench for four and two seat chair, neither adequate for comfortable reading etc. Which was a shame as the weather was glorious. I had read that we should bring COVID19 precautions ourselves, but was disappointed that none at all were provided, not even a gel for entry to the property. The in house seating for four was comfortable and spacious. There was plenty of crockery, cutlery and towels. The position of the house only a short stroll into West Bay was ideal, with lots to see and do within the locality. Overall, we were comfortable, and I apprieciate the price increases due to the current situation, but felt for the price it was not to the standard I expected.
