The West Bay Hotel

Room was perfect, really comfortable and plenty of space for the 4 of us. More than suitable for a family of 4. Breakfast was tasty and cooked to order. We also had a Sunday roast when we arrived which was really good. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

My wife and I took my 85 year old mother in law to West Bay for a Birthday surprise. We stayed 1 night in the West Bay Hotel. Everything was excellent. We had a warm welcome and fantastic food and drinks. The room was lovely and clean with all the usual facilities. Good parking and easy access to beach. Continental Breakfast in bed was a bonus.

This was my first stay at this hotel although I frequently visit West Bay. I gather it has recently undergone refurbishment by new owners. My two nights' stay was excellent as I found the West Bay Hotel comfortable, spotlessly clean and stylishly decorated. All the staff who looked after me were efficient, welcoming and very friendly. My room was well-equipped and the bed extremely comfortable. Breakfast was good (especially the coffee!) and the local beers served in the bar most enjoyable. Its location is central in West Bay and the private parking a godsend in the tourist season.My thanks to Claire and her team and I shall certainly return.

Arrived for a drink early afternoon on Saturday. Lovely staff who were very welcoming, it was a real suntrap so we decided to have lunch. My partner had Sea bass with samphire broccoli pots and it looked wonderful. I had the 'small' burger which was huge and one of the best I have tasted in a long time. The chips were gorgeous and I'm not the biggest fan of chips nicely salted. This is a gem of a place and well worth a visit.

We had a great stay and felt very welcomed by the owners and their staff alike. The rooms were well presented and the location was perfect for us. We really enjoyed being able to get up for an early morning walk on the beach which is a few minutes from the pubs doors. We dined here on one of the evenings and thoroughly enjoyed the pork belly dish.

staff are rude! Owners were not truthful about the dreadful state of this building. Don't expect a beach view because its a lie. The food was sub par the food tasted of the fridge and freezer which is outrageous for the prices. the owners treat their team as their personal staff due to them also living in the hotel. i later found out they had a pub previously that didn't succeed either. My bed looked slept in and the Owners are lazy i saw them constantly sat down and from what I've heard they aren't very understanding people. Don't waste your time or money here it truly is disgusting

Booked through ******* and suite was confirmed. Arrived to a room at rear of property after being told all rooms have sea/beach views; also website very inaccurate. View was rooftops of outbuilding, blocks of flats and a hill. Website describes it as spectacular view of Bridport……..ridiculous. No wardrobe or drawers, so we left our folded luggage on the sofa. An ‘A’ frame for hung clothes would look more at home storing potted plants in a garden centre. The result was the room looked like a Chinese laundry 😩👎 One night here would be ok-ish but for the six nights we booked it was wholly inadequate. Very, very disappointed. Very disappointed with room and lack of empathy from tenant. Hoped to find the hotel would suit us as a regular bolthole, sadly we are still looking.

We heard this place was under new management so popped in for a light lunch. I had squid which was really unusual it was in a very light batter and served with a garnish of coriander, red pepper and a little sliced onion along with a tasty dip. Hubby handcs sandwich which I think was made with foccacia bread he said his was really tasty too. We shall deffo be coming back. Simple food done very well with a creative twist.

This is under new ownership, run by Clare and family and they couldn’t have been more welcoming. The room was spacious, comfortable and quiet, and Neal’s yard toiletries were a lovely touch. I’m Coeliac and Clare and the chef were knowledgeable and helpful, with many GF options available. The cooked breakfast was delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.
