Set on a tranquil no through road leading down to the sea, this bright, stylish and relaxing holiday bungalow makes a fantastic holiday home for a family seeking to enjoy the glorious Jurassic Coast of Dorset.

Just 100 yards from the beach, this light and airy detached bungalow is the perfect base for fun family holidays at West Bay. The property displays fresh modern decor complete with nautical touches, a wood burner for winter and pretty lawn garden for summer. With its iconic high cliffs, selection of eateries and shops, golf club and long beach stretching all the way to the Isle of Portland, West Bay offers something for everyone.

Pick up some freshly-caught seafood in town before returning to the spacious kitchen/diner to enjoy your meal. Afterwards, hunker down on the comfortable sofas in the lounge for a relaxing evening watching the Smart TV or listening to your favourite music on the hi-fi and iPod dock while the wood burner glows away nearby. While away lazy afternoons with a good book in the sunny conservatory or fling open the French doors and enjoy a picnic in the garden. Three comfortable bedrooms (a double and two twins) offer the perfect place to rest your head when the day comes to an end. There is parking for two cars on the steep drive.

Famous for its steep cliffs, picturesque harbour and shingle beach, West Bay offers plenty to see and do. The Golden Gateway to the Jurassic Coast, many breathtaking walks can be enjoyed from here, either along the South West Coast Path or the 18-mile-long Chesil Beach below. Children and adults alike will enjoy a spot of crabbing in the harbour or a visit to the amusement arcades before tucking into a hearty meal at one of the local pubs and cafes.

The bungalow was perfect for us, its location is excellent for the beach, the town and the bus. It was spotlessly clean and all the beds/ soft furnishings were very comfortable The little conservatory was lovely for morning coffee and a great place to store our wheelchair. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was plenty of hot water. The gaRead morerden was completely enclosed and our little dog loved it out there, It was a real home from home There are some good accessible walks from West bay Hide

Morlais is in an excellent position with only a two minute walk to the beach. The bungalow is warm and cosy with everything you could need and the welcome tray was a lovely touch. Our golden retriever was very safe in the garden too.

This bungalow is in an amazing location for all age groups and dogs. We had a blind person and an elderly person in our party and found the bungalow ideal. West bay was lovely and a great base for a Dorset/ Devon adventure. There were some lovely places to visit and eat and an amazing bakery next to the harbour.
