  • At this couple's retreat you can admire coastal views from every window across the harbour or beach 
  • Stroll directly onto the beach with plenty of room for your four-legged friends to run

Property code: 74265

This charming 1930s apartment, set in an enviable location in West Bay, Dorset, is the perfect setting for a romantic couple’s escape. Sleeping two in one room and welcoming up to two four-legged friends, there will be no need to leave your beloved canine out of this coastal break. Ideally positioned at the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, and with direct access across the road to the beach, there are miles of stunning coastal walks for you to explore together.

The first-floor apartment offers a bright and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which is a lovely space for cooking up a romantic meal or snuggling up on the sofa to watch a movie or soak up the views across the harbour and towards the beach. Don’t forget to pack Rover’s favourite blankets so while you spend time relaxing, he can recharge ready for another day of canine adventures. Set within walking distance of several pubs and restaurants, if you don’t fancy cooking you can head out instead. After a good night’s sleep, you will wake up to views over the beach, reminding you how close to the sea this holiday sets you. Enjoy your morning coffee on the shared lawn while Fido stretches his legs.

There is a wide range of amenities in West Bay including bars, cafes and restaurants and swathes of pebble beach. Stick to the East Cliff and your four-legged friend will be welcome here too. Soak up incredible scenery by heading along the South West Coast Path to discover more of the Jurassic Coast or hop on a boat trip from the harbour to Lyme Regis (11 miles). Further afield the market town of Bridport (2 miles) has a wealth of shops and a range of intriguing vintage curios. If the sea air and salty water play havoc with your canine’s hair, there are dog grooming facilities available just 3 miles away.
