“Apartment was as described, very clean although we did our own wipe down when we arrived.”

Everything you could need was in the apartment. Two things that could be improved, a regular window cleaner as the patio doors need it, and the entrance gate to be operational as it was never closed during our stay. Other than those two minor points we had an excellent stay and hope to return

“Good in the apartment, the only thing i would mention is the car park gate was left open so not as secure as could be.”

“As reported and as you replied the waste room was a total mess until it was cleaned on Thursday every bin was full and the floor of the room was covered in waste bags,you could only just open the door.”

Apart from that issue which was out of your control but would hope that you could put pressure on the owners to rectify we enjoyed our stay and have booked to return next year.

“Lovely spacious apartment.”

Central , convenient location. However the general cleanliness was not up to covid advised standards. There were black hairs over the en-suite floor and bedroom, scum on the shower screen, a dirty, greasy grill pan and microwave turn table and sticky kitchen door handles. No cleaning products were left, lucky we brought our own! Felt we had to vacuum and sanitise before unpacking. Not a good holiday start! Tea towel left was grey and stiff, one toilet roll, washing up liquid and 2 cheap dishwasher tabs. Very minimal! Considering this apartment is let at over £1200 in August, we would have thought a few basic essentials could be included. Especially as we were asked to leave it as we found it! So, lovely accommodation, great location but spoilt by poor cleaning standards and lack of basic essentials.

“Sliding Wardrobe door in double bedroom would not open.”

Spoke to Lisa ref no COR-180616-CF. Dealt with on Wednesday (4 days later) Cutlery, crockery and glasses not clean.All had to be washed before use. Oven greasy , grill pan and other oven trays not clean. Patio doors so dirty we were unable to appreciate the beautiful harbour view. Cleaned by owner on Thursday evening giving us one day only to enjoy the view. Car park gates open all day . Told they were locked at night. Recycling area disgusting and a health hazard. We strongly feel the deep clean promised because of COVID and Government regulations were not adhered to. Your agent Dave, from Dream cottages, was very helpful when he came on Wednesday to repair the wardrobe door. He registered all of our complaints!

“Our check in was delayed until 5.”

00pm on Saturday for a deep clean due to coronavirus. We took anti-bacterial wipes with us to do an extra clean ourselves of the key touch points in the apartment. The kitchen cupboard handles and kitchen cupboard doors were filthy. They were tacky to touch and had not been cleaned. We took photos of the wipes. I tried phoning Dream Cottages using the number on the arrival instructions. There was no answer. I went on the website and found another number, again no answer. I found the contact email on the website and emailed the complaint and photos, again no reply. I phoned again on Wednesday and someone answered. They said they had not received my email and gave me a Sykes Cottages email address to re-send the photos which I did. I then received a reference number COR-178435-CF and a phone call to say I would have a response within the hour. I have heard nothing since. Very disappointed, very poor service.

“A beautifully located, beautifully appointed apartment that exceeded all expectations.”

Immaculately clean, with no detail left overlooked from fixtures and fittings to kitchen equipment and furniture. I have already highly recommended the apartment to friends and family, and will definitely return as soon as possible - stayed July 2018

The property

Fishermen's Steps is a spacious, bright harbourside apartment with stunning views over West Bay Harbour in Dorset, just two miles away from the market town of Bridport.

All rooms are on the ground floor offering beautiful harbour views from the open plan living area.

Enjoy your breakfast looking through the window to the rolling hills behind the harbour, or enjoy the benefit of the balcony and sitting area there.

The apartment can accommodate up to four people with two bedrooms, the master bedroom boasts an en-suite bathroom, making it perfect for couples or a family.

The decor displays a sea theme throughout - a beautiful touch by the owners. Set right in the centre of West Bay you are perfectly located for exploring this breath-taking section of Jurassic Coastline on foot.

If you wish to explore further afield, West Bay is centrally placed so you can head east towards Portland and Weymouth, or West to Charmouth and Lyme Regis.

Charmouth and Lyme Regis are famous for fossil hunting, so you can bring a souvenir home found on the beach.

If you are up for an energetic clifftop walk, head back to West bay and take in the stunning scenery of the Jurassic coast.

You will pass Golden Cap – at 191 metres, it is the highest point on the south coast of Great Britain. The lovely market town of Bridport is just two miles away and gives you all you would expect from a country market town, including independent and high street shops, as well as local food and antique markets.

However, you may decide to just park up and relax as Fishermen's Steps has you all you need to relax right there, and West Bay has a lively harbourside kiosk culture, offering freshly caught seafood, local ice-cream and fish and chips, complimented by restaurants and bars. Fishermen’s Steps is a comfortable and bright apartment that will have you yearning to return soon.
