A super apartment and a comfortable retreat for up to four guests in Dorset’s West Bay. Bielsa is a stones throw from the harbour and beach. Renowned for its quintessential seaside charm, this quaint fishing village is home to a pretty harbour and a generous selection of boutiques, cafes and pubs. Eagle-eyed viewers may recognise this destination from the television series Broadchurch, but the main allure is the stunning backdrop of cliffs and the views out to sea. This stretch of the Jurassic Coast is particularly dramatic, so you’ll have plenty of exciting walks to choose from. Bridport is 0.5 miles away, once known for its rope-making trade, but today it is a hub for culture and entertainment.

Inside, the apartment is open-plan and with cosy seating. The kitchen is a treat for whipping up delicious meals, which can be enjoyed at the breakfast bar or at the table. Watch TV, play board games, or switch on the electric fire and snuggle up with hot chocolate. Return from busy days at the beach and wash off the sand in the en-suite bathroom. There is a double bedroom and a double sofa bed ( on request ).

Outside, there is a private patio that overlooks the shared lawn space.

Overall the location is obviously the key selling point but we felt it was overpriced for the standard. It could be fabulous but needs a little tlc.

Perfect location for dog owners. Dog friendly beach with lovely views along the coast. Great to have parking. Clean but a little tired,could do with updating. Still good value.

The apartment is in a great position near to the beach and all amenities. It was modern inside, clean and tidy with everything we needed. Very dog friendly at West Bay.

Excellent location, very close to beach. Lovely area and locals are lovely. Amenities are good. Only down point is that the fridge, even on coldest setting did not keep food properly cool resulting in lots of food and milk being thrown away. This property has no washing machine which is a bit of a shame but apart from that had great stay

Good location, but parking not included which was a surprise on arrival and not very attentive owners when the outside door didnt lock or unlock.

Apartment had not been cleaned properly and crockery and cutlery we're dirty. Problems reported together with issues of bedroom storage.eg cupboard and rail only accessible by standing on bed. No satisfactory solution offered other than to go home for partial refund.
