    “Beautiful house in the perfect location by the beach to explore the Jurassic coast.”

    It’s barely 30 seconds straight onto the coastal path from a private residents only access one way and another minute the other way onto West Beach and into West Bay centre. We really enjoyed the open plan upstairs and spent too many hours rain or shine getting lost in the seaview. We wanted a quiet beach holiday so was happy with off season West Bay which still provided plenty of options for all our needs. Judging from the holiday parks around West Bay, we imagine it gets heaving in summer ...

    It’s barely 30 seconds straight onto the coastal path from a private residents only access one way and another minute the other way onto West Beach and into West Bay centre. We really enjoyed the open plan upstairs and spent too many hours rain or shine getting lost in the seaview. We wanted a quiet beach holiday so was happy with off season West Bay which still provided plenty of options for all our needs. Judging from the holiday parks around West Bay, we imagine it gets heaving in summer months. As the other guests mentioned we also received a lovely hamper with tasty Dorset treats! Yummy! We would recommend the host consider providing some cleaning products and extra tea towels and bin liner. We didn’t find any recycling facility which is weird as the other residents had recycling and composting bins. If we were ever back in Dorset, would definitely be looking to stay in Sandy Combe again!

The property

Enjoying stunning, coastal views across West Bay in Dorset is Sandy Combe, a fabulous, reverse-level home.

Just paces away from the beach and a hub of activity, Sandy Combe offers a contemporary and well-equipped base for a large group break, inviting eight guests and two furry companions to enjoy the Dorset AONB.

Park up on the private driveway, taking in the breath-taking cliff vistas from your new abode.

Step indoors to be greeted by four, ground-floor bedrooms, including three doubles, one of which benefits from an en-suite, and a twin bedroom, providing plenty of space to rest.

On the ground floor you'll also locate a handy utility, a lovely garden room with views out to the garden, offering the ideal place to unwind with a good book, and the family bathroom.

Travel upstairs to be wowed by the open-plan living space, where you can relax, prepare and enjoy delicious meals, and bask in your surroundings upon the balcony, overlooking the glistening coastline.

If you'd prefer to dine alfresco, make the most of your private garden, where you can enjoy the sunshine and toast to your getaway, before exploring your surroundings some more.

Head into West Bay to stock up on the essentials, to dine out, and to relish in a beach day, where you can also hike along the West Bay Promenade or follow the Jurassic Coast trail for a fabulous vantage point.

Stop off in Bridport for a round of golf at the Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club or brush up on your local knowledge at Bridport Museum, whilst the renowned Chesil Beach, resting upon the West Dorset Heritage Coast is nearby, where you can relax, build sandcastles, and enjoy an afternoon of watersports.

Round off your seascape in Lyme Regis, home to the Lyme Regis Museum, the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, and the delightful Lyme Regis Fossil Beach, perfect for fossil hunting, before returning home in time for sundowners.

Take to the coast with Sandy Combe as your home-from-home.

About the location

WEST BAY

Bridport 1.5 miles; Lyme Regis 11 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 Coast Path, as well as ample opportunities to try your hand at sea fishing, crabbing, boating and golf. Visit the homes of 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 West takes you to Charmouth for fossil hunting, to the picturesque seaside resort of Lyme Regis, and to River Cottage HQ near Axminster. To the East are the lovely Sub-tropical Gardens and Swannery at Abbotsbury, and the golden sands of Weymouth. This wonderful location makes an ideal base for a great family holiday.
