“Other flats in this block we have stayed in have a tumble dryer above the washer which we found useful, here you have to use the heated towel rails to dry washing.”

It is not a major issue but would have been useful

“The position right on the harbour was brilliant.”

The apartment exceeded our expectations with comfort and facilities. We would highly recommend this apartment for a holiday and would love to return. We were very lucky with the weather which made all the difference.

- Mr & Mrs Layton-Matthews, September 2019
“Stayed in this property a year ago, changed living room layout.”

Without moving furniture, have to be a contortionist to watch tv!. Reported fridge last visit, still very poor, unless set at highest. Patio doors & patio glass surround, absolutely filthy!. Window cleaner came to building, cleaned apartments both sides & above, but not ours!!. Passers by even commented on the state of glass!. At the price charged, surely, a window cleaner, would not make a big dent. The kettle provided was furred up, every time used, had white scale in ones coffee or tea!. If the matters above could be addressed, they might come up to the high standards of the bedrooms & bathrooms, which are excellent. PS.. we solved the kettle problem, went & bought a £9 throwaway kettle!.

“We really enjoyed our time at Fishermen’s Steps, the location is perfect being able to look at the boats on the harbour and just a few steps around the corner take you to the beach.”

There was plenty of space, beds were comfy and the shower was powerful. Would definitely recommend this property. (One thing I couldn’t find in kitchen was a potato masher but just used a fork instead)

“This apartment is exactly as it says and is brilliant and beautiful with nice ...”

This apartment is exactly as it says and is brilliant and beautiful with nice views of harbour and local for the shops and only a few minutes walk to the beach

- Mr Upton, July 2019
“Apart from the fact it would have been useful if it had said travel cot not cot the apartment was fab.”

The location is ideal and the balcony gets the morning sun. Over looking the harbour there is plenty to see. Lots of places to have ice cream, tea and fish and chips. The beach to the left has a high pebble hill to climb, not easy with a pushchair. The beach to the right if you walk down to where the road ends has a few pebbles and some sand idea for a nearly two year old to run and wear themselves out.The Kitchen at the apartment is well equipped, the bathrooms are luxury and the beds comfy. Lounge/diner a good size. Parking space idea.Lovely weather so visited local farms and sites. Super week.

- Mrs Dean, July 2019
“Fantastic location overlooking the harbour.”

Great two bedroomed apartment with every thing you need.

- Mr Fitch, May 2019
“On arrival we discovered the apartment had not been prepared for us i.”

E.no bedlinen or towels available and had not been cleaned. However on contacting your office this was rectified promptly with the arrival of cleaners. Also, on the middle Saturday of the two week holiday we had been told in writing that cleaners would attend between 2pm and 6pm to change linen and carry out a mini clean. This did not happen so we had to make further phone calls to your office and it was arranged for this to be carried out on the Sunday morning. May we suggest that you tighten up your procedures with your cleaning staff! However we cannot fault the apartment and we had a very enjoyable holiday and look forward to return to the apartment sometime soon. We would happily recommend Dream Cottages to others.

- Mr Pretty, March 2019
“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.

WEST BAY

Bridport 1.5 miles; Lyme Regis 7 miles.

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.
