About this property

This lovely, light and modern apartment is ideal for couples and families eager to explore stunning West Bay and the surrounding Dorset area. You will be welcomed by 8 Driftwood's unique exterior of this contemporary structure and eager to unpack and make yourself at home.

Boasting everything that you could possibly need, this open-plan living space with wooden flooring throughout encourages you to relax whilst planning the day ahead of you, and before heading out to explore the nearby beach, why not rustle up a lunch in the amply fitted kitchen where you will find everything you need to make a great cooking experience. You will also find a small south facing balcony, a great spot for relaxing with a glass of your favourite beverage in hand. A bathroom offers a soak amongst the bubbles before you head off to bed, with a refreshing interior to make you feel right at home. There are two bedrooms available for guests; one double and one twin both with plenty of storage.

The surrounding area of West Bay is truly beautiful, with the harbour and beaches forming part of the Jurassic coast, providing the ideal setting for a stroll before stopping for a picnic or even a swim in the sea, and the well-known Lyme Regis Fossil Bay is only a short distance away, promising the opportunity to explore the rocks and see what fossils can be found. A variety of shops offering local food as well as cafes, bars, and restaurants wait at your doorstep, where you can enjoy a hot meal for the whole family. Sladders Yard Gallery and the Jurassic Fun Centre are two of the many locations to visit for a family day out, as are the local town of Bridport and West Dorset golf club. Perfect for families. Make a memorable holiday with a stay at 8 Driftwood.

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.

    We had one little problem and it was seen to at once by the lovely caretaker ,we will be staying again

  • Evelyn

    The weather was against us so didn't do much exploring, locally, but made the most of the buses to Weymouth and Bridport. The welcome pack was lovely. As pointed out by previous holiday makers, the bath/shower definitely needs more safety handles for those of us of a certain age. The only hand rail was on the wall at the bottom of the bath. Anyone with balance problems has a very good chance of falling onto the shower screen, which swings outwards, which could be a reason not to re-book this great property. Shower cubicles, these days are definitely the way to go.

    Only one negative thing, electrician turned up to do work on balcony and while we worked round that, some notification would have been good
