Beach Haven

We had a great stay, lovely house and place

What an incredible nice play you have and share it with us.

I am from the netherlands and I really enjoyed the bungalow. It is spacious, very well maintained and all the things you want where there. The garden is lovely, with different corners which you can use to sit in depending on where the wind is from. From early in the morning ( 7 am) till late in the evening we enjoyed the garden. We had lovely weather so we didn't use the livingroom a lot but still it was very inviting. Just for us dutch we are not used to shingle beaches so a warning not an area where you can swim or do long beach walks but still there is lots to enjoy and see with places like west beach - lyme regis, wemouth and portland around the corner.

Lovely clean property in a perfect location.

We had a wonderful family holiday here for my husband’s birthday.

The house is beautifully situated, overlooking the beach, with plenty of outside seating, not to mention table tennis! Inside, it was extremely well-equipped and very comfortable, just as described. Everything worked and there were many places for a bit of quiet space if needed. We had lovely weather and the area is beautiful too, with plenty of nice places to eat and drink. We will certainly be back one day!

Great property in a fantastic location with good views over the beach.

Accommodation and facilities first class, however let down by poorly maintained windows especially the locks and opening windows, in need of adjustment. Also a mirror over an accessible plug socket would be a bonus, to enable the use of a hairdryer. Overall, it was a lovely stay, in a great location, for us & our dog. Thank you

Beach Haven suited us well and we would love to visit again.

It is comfortable, spacious, beautifully decorated and well-equipped. The table tennis was a big hit! One small suggestion would be to include a laundry basket to carry wet washing to the washing line.

Beach Haven is a wonderful place to spend a relaxing week.

It is an extremely spacious bungalow in a terrific location with fantastic views and is very comfortable and very well equipped. West Bexington is very peaceful and quiet during the week and popular at weekends, especially with anglers and visitors to The Beach Club across the road.

Just a wonderful house.

Beautiful views overlooking the sea in a very quiet and peaceful spot. With a restaurant opposite and a pub a short walk up the hill it is well catered for. The beach is great for relaxing if somewhat difficult to walk a great distance on, but plenty of coastal walking nearby. We had a family gathering and the house suited everyone young and old as well as the dogs. It had everything we needed and more with a well considered welcome pack. We will certainly recommend it to anyone and will hopefully return in the future.

We had a wonderful weeks stay over the New Year period.

We were 4 adults, 3 kids and two dogs. It was very spacious, clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay. The house is located right on chesil beach perfect for family and dog walks. There is a restaurant right across the road thats very convenient. We had gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. It really felt like home away from home. We have booked to go back during February half term.

Couldn't fault the accommodation, everything was exactly as described, and the position on the beach opposite a cafe / restaurant was fantastic.

We will stay again for sure.

Very comfortable, warm house.

Lots of space for families and nice touches for the children with books and toys. Would like to come back in the Summer and make use of the garden. Minor issues were sorted out quickly. Would have been nice to have had some kindling and firelighters so that we could have lit the logs provided

What a wonderful property!

The property is comfortable, well maintained and in an excellent situation. The beach is only 100 metres away and with a Pub/Restaurant only 30 metres away, what more could you want?! It was relaxing and ideal for all our party, which included young children and a disabled adult. The towns of Weymouth and Bridport were within easy reach, together with other local attractions. Overall an excellent property and location.

The property was outstanding everything was a joy.

..the garden was lovely and great for our two dogs .The seaviews were breath taken ....we relaxed and was so chilled out we are still missing the fun and laughter .Lovely Restaurant opposite and Pubs nearby for great food....etc....which were dog friendly...We will and intend to book again with Sykescottages for our next holiday..Thank you .......

Beach Haven is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed.

The location was idyllic, bring able to see the sea from the garden and having the clubhouse opposite was amazing. We had everything we needed and even had table tennis outside. Perfect location for West Bay, Weymouth, Lyme Regis. Would recommend!

We loved the house and the space was perfect for us as an extended family.

The location was lovely and quiet but it was a shame that the beach wasn’t accessible for us as we were unaware that it was mostly used for fishing and not safe for swimming.

Everything in the property is excellent, BUT, needs new iron, windows very dirty, mat in kitchen slips when you come in and out of garden , outside grass and ground area very uneven.

These are details that should be addressed especially due to the price costing for 7days.

I couldn’t get the washing machine to work apart from that everything was perfect for escaping the rat race of life!

Hard to improve perfection.

However some guests may appreciate a hot tub to complete the stay

A lovely property, everything about the property made it homely and it’s in a lovely area.

Beautiful Bungalow spacious with everything that you could need.

Lovely sea views great garden. The only thing was the umbrella in the garden was broken and hadn’t been replaced. The weather was sunny and hot so would have liked some me shade, but it didn’t affect our week at Thrace Haven.

My family and I stayed for the weekend, the accommodation was a very high standard.

The location was unbelievable, and the views were amazing. The property was very spacious, clean and all that was needed was there for us, clean bedding and towels. The kitchen had everything that was required, a great time was had by all, and we will be booking again.

Such a lovely property, we absolutely loved the house and all the small touches that made it feel so welcoming and homely for the week.

There could be a few more kitchen essentials such as a wooden spoon, sieve or some oil for cooking but generally very well stocked ! Thank you so much, would recommend to anyone!

I loved the peace and quiet of this coastal gem of a holiday home, we wanted a calm relaxed beach, which it was.

..watching the waves splash in and rush out through the pebbles...a wonderful sound... The house was clean and comfortable, no need for extras like washing up liquid or toilet rolls ect , all was there in the cupboards which is rare! My dogs loved the garden as they could run right around the property playing catch chase .. great fun for them, also beautiful weather all week, so lucky we brought the factor 50 as no shelter in the garden and the patio umberella was a bit old and rusty...shame as it was the only niggle we had in a glorious holiday week.

One first viewing it's very spacious and the views to the pebble beach is beautiful.

The rooms are all a good size and lots of seating. We did find not having an airfryer was something not used to and oven - grill took sometime to work and cook. The kids bedrooms needed more cleaning as mold is around one the bedroom windows and a large amount of dust and dirt next to beds in the back bedroom- just needs a bit more time on cleaning and more toilet roll. The hamper was nice but unfortunately the bottle of juice was dirty and dated December 2024 so we left it. We found a large fishing hook on the beach with line which were glad our dogs didn't stand on- guest need to be made aware of this as there's lots of fishing direct outside. The fish cafe opposite had alarm go off and load talking outside from workers in the morning We didn't visit as wasn't for children. It's a beautiful place but just needs a little longer cleaning as it's run by an agency so there's no direct contact details to anyone especially if you need assistance out of agency hours. The room upstairs has a beautiful view with window seat which is stunning but the double bed is very small and tiny bath which we found to small to use no shower upstairs. Floor in big room does have lots marks on it as they hold £400 on your account for damages but I want other guest to take note incase your accused of these. Would we stay again yes but probably bring airfryer and loo roll.

Beautiful accommodation next to the sea in west bexington .

8 people and 2 dogs having a lovely time in the perfect place . Everything in the house you would need . Bars and restaurants near by to if you need them .

First impression, "Wow, this is amazing".

Lasting impression, "Wow, that was amazing".

The only thing lacking was spare toilet rolls!

Very nice house and well equipped kitchen, great location, modern and comfortable.

Small niggle, dusty in some areas (also check downstairs en suite extraction vent). We’d seen some reviews about limited loo roll/tea towels/ dishwasher tablets being provided, but as it’s a self catering let, not a hotel, I’d expect to take my own supplies in this respect anyway. Would we book again? - definitely!

Beach House is a delightful modern clean large and really well equipped property and the location is just the icing on the cake.

All the little touches in respect of decoration are so well thought out and I cannot praise enough the equipment and the amount of crockery and cutlery etc supplied. We would definitely recommend a stay at this property.

We had the most amazing stay.

Beach Haven is in a fabulous location and is a perfect base for exploring Dorset

Beautiful home.

Perfectly situated for exploring. Space for three cars is a bonus. Had everything we needed and more. Lovely welcome pack. Easy to find. All homely directions unobtrusive but clear and helpful. Would come back, highly recommended

Just excellent all round.

Perfect for families sharing a holiday together.

The house is stunning and has everything you need, in a fabulous location.

We stayed here as attending a wedding at the Manor. Don’t really get to enjoy the full experience as it was a busy weekend, but the Bride and Groom loved the house so much it may now become their Anniversary place annually.

We really enjoyed our stay, the house was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped, we did feel the house was not that clean though, there were a lot of dog hairs and just generally needed a good clean from top to bottom, the location was very quiet and had to drive to everything apart from the Clubhouse opposite which we loved, overall a very good experience in a lovely house.

Great location for a quiet beach holiday, not commercialised yet not isolated.

Very clean and generously equipped. Very spacious interior and apart from the bedroom and en-suite upstairs, all on one level with just a small step at the front door and out onto the terrace so great for those with mobility issues, We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

We loved our stay at Beach Haven and very soon put down roots.

Everything we needed was there. We were blessed with perfect weather and spent many hours sitting in the garden listening to the sparrows chirping. Just one minor thing normally with a 2 week stay a change of bedding is supplied, otherwise all was perfect. We have booked for next year.Thank you

Excellent spacious accommodation for our family of 6 adults and 2 children, with a safe garden for our dog.

Beautiful sea views, quiet and peaceful and the pub over the road was never noisy the whole week we were there. Comfortable, homely furnishings. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Tip: only 3 loo rolls and 2 dishwasher tablets provided so bring more if you need them!

Beach Haven is a very pleasent bungalow with nice decor.

I particularly liked the way the lounge had been arranged and the sofas and chairs were really comfortable (not at all saggy as with some holiday rentals). All the information for operating the equipment/ cooker etc was neatly filed and the kitchen was modern and very well equiped. The garden had lovely sea views with good quality garden furniture (even cushions for the chairs were provided). The beds in the two main bedrooms were very comfortable and these rooms were light and airy, however I thought the twin bedroom was the poor relation. Although the mattresses were good quality the wooden frames rather creaked. The dark old fashioned furniture seemed out of keeping with the other bedrooms and made the room seem a bit cramped (just my opinion of course). Although we didn't use the children's room it looked very bright and cheery and the bunk beds looked very sturdy. The restaurant opposite was fantastic and we ate there several times. Unfortunately the beach wasn't really suitable for us (we are all retired) as the shingle was quite diificult to walk along. It is very popular with anglers and as such we were warned by the locals to be careful with our dog of discarded fish hooks and also that there are adders about where the shingle meets the grass etc. so again be wary if you have a walk with your dog. To sum up overall we thought the owners had made a real effort to offer well thought out comfortable accomodation.

After searching for a cottage that would sleep 7 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dogs I found this beautiful cottage.

As soon as we stepped through the front door I knew we would all have a lovely time. It was as described, big, well presented, spacious for all the family. A large secure garden where the dogs ran and explored with no concerns of escaping. We never felt on top of each other. The local pub was an added bonus that serves delicious local food. We all had a lovely time making special memories for all the family. We cant wait to return again soon.

Absolutely lovely place to stay took my parents in laws for a little break and they loved it went out most days along the coast visiting some amazing places peaceful place to stay, looking at the ocean every day was amazing the views outstanding beauty… definitely coming back

We enjoyed our stay at Beach Haven which had plenty of space and was beautifully decorated.

Our fav room was the cosy coastal theme living room with log fire and 3 sofas enabling 2 groups of people to enjoy the space without feeling on top of each other! The en-suites were of a high standard though anyone using the loft bedroom/ensuite may find the bath up there a bit small to wash in. The welcome basket was appreciated and while our 2 children are grown up, the children’s books and toy bag in the bunk room is a nice touch! Our only observation would be to add some more kitchen utensils (1 wooden spoon and 1 peeler isn’t sufficient) and a lemon zest juicer at the very least - though an electric juicer or some kind of blender would be even better. The sea is very rough so we kept our dog on the lead at all times though there are beaches further afield that are not as treacherous.

Excellent accommodation, superb location, very comfortable, wonderful views, quality furnishings and finishings wanted to stay another week.

Only small thing would be to put a dressing table with mirror in rooms and a shelf in the showers to put toiletries on when washing. Everything else just perfect! Will definitely return best accommodation ever rented, welcome pack a lovely addition thank you x

We had a lovely time one, of the best places we have rented.

Everything you need is there and had great fun with the table tennis

Beautiful location, well equiped property, secure and well kept garden for the dogs, thank you.

A couple of minor issues identified, that didn't spoil our holiday: 1. New TV remote handset required in the lounge, many of the symbols couldn't be read, very frustrating but worked it out eventually! 2. Torch in the main downstairs bedroom a thoughful touch, not working ? new batteries. 3. Cleaners need to clean underneath beds, sofas etc. 4. Bed linen poor quality for a 4* accommodation, there was a hole in the duvet cover in the main downstairs bedroom. My feed back is based on having 3 UK holidays a year, over many years and feel able to make a comparison. 5. Electrics in kitchen, kettle didn't work with the microwave on at the same time. Addressing the issues would make this lovely property into a fabulous one.

A beautiful bungalow, well equipped throughout, comfortable beds and comfortable furniture in the lounge too.

All the appliances in the kitchen were of high standards (I particularly liked the induction hob, it was my first time using one and I was very impressed). We had a sea view and Beach Haven is in a very quiet location - perfect for us and our family and our dogs.

Beach Haven is a beautiful, spacious house to stay in with fabulous views .

The kitchen table was a great place to have family meals and play games. The kitchen was well stocked with crockery and utensils. We loved the garden, it is well maintained and perfect for children and dogs to play safely. We were a little disappointed by the beach which was too pebbly to easily walk on, or for dogs to run on with our getting sore paws. We were surprised that there were no recycling facilities at the house or nearby and we were limited on car space to take it home with us. The property is a little noisy due to no curtains (only blinds) and no rugs so the early risers woke us all up! But it is such a lovely house and location we would recommend it to others

Beach Haven was excellent, very comfortable, a great location and plenty of room with our kids and grandkids.

Also highly recommend the Club House opposite Beach Haven. Excellent food and great cocktails. Good offers on Friday and Sunday for food and for cocktails on Friday & Saturday(2-for-1 Happy Hour 5-6pm). Great breakfast on our last day. https://www.theclubhousewestbexington.co.uk/

We enjoyed the location next to the sea in a quiet spot but near to the lovely seaside to towns of Weymouth and West Bay.

The property was to a high standard and was big enough for three families to spread out. The kitchen was very well equipped. We had a lovely holiday, enjoying the garden and eating at the good restraunts in the same village.

As a self catering holiday with family the cooker didn’t work correctly and we only found out upon arrival and the toaster was very well used and only cooked one side so took a long time to make any food with became a chore for all.

The outside chairs need looking at as some were very rickety although 2 new ones were delivered on the day of arrival. These things are a must and should be replaced/repaired immediately. The house and location were amazing stunning views.

Our stay at Beach Haven was wonderful from start to finish.

The property is located close to some very nice beach destinations as well as being on the actual shingle beach with great walks nearby. The house had everything needed to enjoy time away in a home from home property. The house amenities are super, if I was being picky (and I'm not) a few more pegs would have been useful but it's very hard to say anything but positive things about Beach Haven inside and outside. Thank you for our super stay.

We thought that Beach Haven had a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

A lovely wrap around safe garden for dogs and young children. Wonderful views. Suitable for all age groups. We went as a family group and it worked well for all of us. We will return

This was one of my favourite places that I’ve stayed.

The location was perfect and the home is just beautiful, especially the window seat in the upstairs room that became my reading nook for the week! The welcome pack was really thoughtful, and as neither my Mum or I really drink, it was nice that it was something other than wine which is the normal welcome gift. We had a couple of days of really good weather but the location is perfect for getting to everywhere we wanted to in Dorset. I’ve already recommended the place to a number of friends, and I’m already looking for when I can return. Nikki

Lovely house in a great location.

Really enjoyed our stay.

It was a pleasure to stay at Beach Haven.

A great location just right for walks along the shore. The fittings and fixtures were of a very high standard and the welcome pack was very generous! We’ve stayed at 4 holiday properties this year and this was by far the best. We would love to return.

Very welcoming home, well equipped to a high standard.

Beautiful location. Spaciously arranged for a group of up to 8 for eating as well as sitting relaxing, both inside and out on the terrace. Beds very comfortable , 3 bathrooms a real bonus. A fire guard would be essential if the wood burner was lit and would also protect little heads from those sharp corners and edges on the fireplace. Negatives: only 3 dishwasher tablets for a week and only 1 cheap toilet roll per bathroom seems miserly, considering the cost of rental !

Such a lovely week.

Very comfortable property, well decorated and equipped. Plenty of space inside and out. Views from property were amazing. Many lovely evenings spent sat on patio enjoying the view and relaxing with a chilled glass of wine.

There is a broken fence panel as you sit facing the sea it's in the fence there .

It's means the garden isn't secure. But other than that lovely holiday .

Thank you for an amazing stay.

It looked lovely in the pictures but the property is stunning. My dad has some disabilities and your property fitted his needs perfectly. It was really important for him to be comfortable and he hasn’t stopped talking about our weekend there for his 60th birthday. We are at the restaurant opposite where the food was amazing and was blessed with the best weather. We will definitely look at booking again. Thank you

A clothes airer or tumble dryer would be desirable- with 3 small children- we soon ran out of inside drying space and the weather wasn't good enough to dry clothes outside a lot of the time.

2 of the garden chairs were broken....and the rocking sun lounger had to be moved as we had 2 small children in our party running around....it potentially would have trapped small feet!! Apart from those suggestions- it was perfect....we would love to come again.....beautiful place.

We had a lovely stay.

Would love to visit again but very booked up.

Beautiful property.

Stunning location. No hassle booking. All excellent thank you.

Beach Haven was a beautiful property, just what we needed for February half term.

We did leave a day early due to the incoming storm which was a shame but overall the experience was lovely. Right on the beach of West Bexington with the lovely Club House restaurant opposite. We visited West Bay, Weymouth, Chesil Beach, the Hive (sister restaurant to CH) and Lyme Regis (even saw Tom Daley peddling up the hill on his comic relief mission!) whilst the property is remote enough for a lovely secluded holiday (just what we wanted) it is also close enough to some beautiful scenic beaches and Morrisons was only about 15 minutes by car for the all important shop. We would love to stay here again but I suspect it is booked out!! it should be... and don't even get me started on the window seat and its views. Thank you for allowing us to spend time in Beach Haven. Our batteries are recharged.

This was our second time staying here and we had a lovely time.

My only criticism is that the two big sofas in the living room are showing their age and aren’t very comfortable to sit on, not enough support in the seat cushions

Not only were we extremely lucky with the weather but Beach Haven was lovely - fabulous position next to Chesil Beach and stylishly decorated .

A beautiful property we would definitely book again.

Excellent customer service after a call to ur number on our journey down and having major car trouble u allowed us to check in earlier than normal to allow us to get our car fixed .

Amaxing service !

Hi we really enjoyed our stay at beach haven, however there are a few small things which would make a great improvement.

The interior doors need attention as a few don’t close and click so was difficult to keep dogs out of downstairs rooms. The double doors into the kitchen need a foam draft excluder around the wood as due to lack of furnishings this door is extremely noisy when it is opened and closed causing disturbance to everyone. The kitchen is a great space but lacking worktop area…there is a great need for a breakfast bar/island and there is plenty of room for it…once we unloaded our alcohol onto worktop there was no room for food prep. ..we did inform the maintenance that the sofas had no been vacuumed and contained all sorts under the cushions and there was also collected dust under beds and in bathrooms…. Other than this beach haven is a lovely cottage.

All good thanks!

Beach Haven is just the most beautiful house.

The interior design is exceptional. It is equipped to a very high standard. But the biggest plus point is its amazing location. Its position right opposite a high class restaurant and just a stone's throw from the beach is unrivalled. We loved everything about it. We would return tomorrow. Shame it is so popular, but we understand why.

Beach Haven is a beautiful bungalow with amazing sea views.

It was perfect for our needs. The master bedroom bed was so comfy one of the best we have slept on which is important for us. It was very well equipped and would say its one of the nicest places we have stayed in. Would highly recommend .

We loved the location so close to the beach- and the property itself was very clean and felt safe in these difficult times.

The property is in a lovely position and bright and spacious.

There are lots of places to visit close by and we all had a very enjoyable stay.

What a brilliant find!

We loved the location and the bungalow was fab! We all had a great time and the weather was glorious. We couldn’t have asked for more

The location and situation of this house was outstanding.

Within seconds of the beach and with the Club House restaurant across the road. Modern and spacious everything you need is there. Thanks

Beach Haven exceeded our expectations.

The accommodation was furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Its location was perfect to explore the surrounding areas. It was very quiet and peaceful.

Superb setting, excellent facilities.

Can't wait to go back there!
