About this property
Overlooking the wonderful harbour and watching seagulls surf blue skies and boats bob on the waves, this wonderful apartment offers opulence in a space perfect for couples or families. Situated on the quay at the West Dorset fishing port of West Bay, 11 The Boardwalk will make the perfect retreat for those with a taste for the seaside.
After using the allocated parking, you will find yourself at the foot of a contemporary apartment block, overlooking the restless sea and bustling harbour of West Bay. You will be welcomed into your ground-floor apartment by a spacious open-plan living space with fantastic views, large French windows letting in seas of natural light to give this apartment an airy feel, and you can recline on the sofas and plan your day, before making lunch in the amply fitted kitchen, offering you all of the convenient home-from-home amenities you will need, and you can present your masterpiece on a dining table with a view to the bay. As the evening wears on, choose one of the two delightful bedrooms where you will find ample storage, including a double room with a splash of eye-catching red in the décor and an en-suite shower-room, perfect for soaking the sand from your hair after a day at the beach and outfitted with contemporary furniture, and there is also the option of a twin room, great for children and adults alike, with homely wool blankets in a seafoam cream and blue, as well as a bathroom fitted with grey tiles and contemporary furniture, enticing you to take a soak amongst the bubbles. If you wish to have breakfast with a view, this apartment has you covered, with French windows, tinted for privacy, opening up onto a patio with furniture.
Dorset is a thriving area full of amazing places to visit, and this begins right on your doorstep, with the large sandy beach of West Bay within a short walk, offering a place to picnic, swim and take to the waves in a kayak. On the opposite side to west bay, you will find the Jurassic Coast, making the property simply surrounded with stunning beaches, and here you will be able to walk along the bay, marvelling at the towering cliffs, as well as explore the rocks to see if you will be able to find any fossils. In terms of dining out, there is a multitude of eateries including local cafes serving local produce, restaurants and a pub where you can relax after a long walk along the coast with a glass of your favourite beverage in hand. With so much to do, and so many wonderful places to visit, you will simply love your holiday to Dorset with a stay at 11 The Boardwalk.

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!

Nice balcony with great view of harbour (perfect for morning coffee and chats with passers-by), allocated parking space, clean & smart looking, spacious sitting room, good kitchen. Could do with net curtains to give more privacy in sitting room when guests are breakfasting in their 'jammies' and want to enjoy the view. Bedroom windows are worn & difficult to open - there is a risk that if they are opened, it would not be possible to close them again. Good wardrobe space but no dressing tables or shelves with mirror. No drawer space in second bedroom. Sofas - as others have noted - one is particularly uncomfortable and in need of replacement, the other is also quite hard and rather low. Scatter cushions are 'leaking' feathers everywhere. The hall rug (as others have noted) slips and rucks up. A trip hazard. Main bathroom: As guests have varying degrees of mobility and agility, a grab rail by the bath and a rubber bath mat would add to safety. There is no shower curtain to prevent water splashing on the floor (slip hazard) from the shower fixing. Ensuite shower cubicle has very smooth base and is treacherously slippery - a rubber bath mat would be helpful here too. Nowhere to hang clothes when showering. Could hooks be provided in both the shower room and bathroom. The fire instructions are too long and too generic and unlikely to be fully read by guests. Recommend they are reviewed, shortened and simplified to make clear the essential information specific to this flat (location of fire alarms, assembly points etc) and posted on a wall as well as in the folder.

Very nice location. I liked very much a blue bench in the balcony. Really happy with my choice

Amenities have been improved. Very conveniently located with excellent views of the marina. My only negative comment is about broadband/wifi being "very" poor. My spouse needed to work-from-home but we had to return 3 days early as wifi could not even handle more than one mobile phone. As mobile reception is patchy in the area, using our data wasn't possible either.
