Beautiful one-bed flat with a stunning view of the sea and West Bay promenade. Situated on the first floor - via a spiral staircase - this flat has its own private balcony overlooking the sea. One bedroom has a double bed and the large living room has one sofa bed and one additional sofa, which isn't a sofa bed. Bookable for 3 nights plus only, booking . com still get this wrong even after chatting to them! West Bay is very well known for being the filming location of ITV's Broadchurch.
