About this property

16 Old Shipyard Centre is a welcoming first-floor apartment that occupies an enviable position along West Bay's bustling seafront, with wonderful views across the promenade, beach and dramatic Jurassic Coast beyond. Just moments from the shoreline, harbour and an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants and local amenities, this is the perfect base for couples, friends or families looking to experience Dorset's beautiful coastline. Accessed via an external staircase, the apartment offers bright and spacious accommodation throughout. The inviting living/dining room provides a relaxing space to unwind after a day exploring the coast and features a dining table and chairs, ideal for leisurely breakfasts or enjoying meals together.

Large sliding doors open into a charming sunroom where guests can sit back and enjoy the ever-changing sea views whatever the season. The well-equipped kitchen has a distinctive retro-inspired feel, featuring vintage-style units, ample preparation space and everything needed for a self-catering stay, while a breakfast bar creates an additional sociable spot for morning coffee. The apartment sleeps up to four guests in two inviting bedrooms. The main double bedroom enjoys views towards West Cliff and the sea and benefits from an adjoining sunroom and small balcony, offering a lovely spot to take in the coastal scenery. The second bedroom is arranged as a twin room, making the property equally suited to families and friends.

A stylish shower room completes the accommodation with a large shower cubicle and contemporary fittings. Outside, residents have access to attractive communal gardens, including a central lawned green and landscaped courtyard areas. Private unallocated parking is available for guests of the apartments, with a parking permit provided that must be displayed during your stay. West Bay is one of Dorset's most popular coastal destinations, renowned for its dramatic cliffs, fishing harbour and beautiful beaches. From the doorstep, guests can enjoy coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, fossil hunting adventures on the Jurassic Coast, water sports including paddleboarding, kayaking and gig rowing, or simply relax and take in the lively atmosphere of the harbour.

The vibrant market town of Bridport is just two miles away, offering independent shops, regular markets, galleries and restaurants, while Bucky Doo Square hosts a variety of events, live music and festivals throughout the year. For a memorable day out, the charming seaside town of Lyme Regis, with its iconic Cobb Harbour, independent boutiques and family-friendly beach, is within easy reach along the stunning coastline. Whether you're seeking a traditional seaside holiday, an active coastal escape or a relaxing break by the sea, 16 Old Shipyard Centre provides a welcoming and conveniently located retreat in the heart of West Bay.

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.
