The property

Tern Cottage is a wonderful accommodation for families or couples in West Bay.

Just a two minutes’ walk from the pretty harbour and beach, it is still set in a quiet location. With a private sunny garden to spend your afternoon or even the whole day, it’s a delight. Tern Cottage is a comfortable home with airy bedrooms perfect for a good night’s sleep.

You can cook delicious meals in a well-equipped kitchen, cosy up in a sitting room with sun peaking out through the window – a perfect place for a reading session. West Bay is famous as it was featured in the ITV ‘Broadchurch’ series and is getting more popular every year attracting visitors from every corner.

You may recognise quite a few features not far away from the cottage. Stretch your legs and venture out, there are many walks right from your doorstep leading to the tallest cliff on the South coast – Golden cap or the village of Burton Bradstock and further. The market town of Bridport is a short walk away where you will find weekly farmer’s markets, independent shops, supermarket.

Venture along the coast and you will find seaside town of Weymouth with an award-winning sandy 3-mile beach and many beach attractions for children and adults alike. Tern Cottage is a wonderful couples or young families retreat where you can recharge and enjoy seaside life.

“Lovely clean cottage set in beautiful quiet garden.”

The owners met us at the cottage and were friendly and helpful

- Mr Edgar, June 2021
Mrs Debenham May 2021

“We were very impressed with Tern Cottage, there was everything there that you could possibly need, excellent experience, would highly recommend.”

- Mrs Debenham, May 2021
Mrs Wansey May 2021

“Super cottage which was very clean, comfortable and COVID safe!”

Lots of lovely places to sit and enjoy the weather both inside and out! The owners were very helpful. West Bay was a great place for walks.

- Mrs Wansey, May 2021
Mrs Plant April 2021

“The heating came on in the morning and as it was quite cold weather this was great.”

The problem was in afternoon and evening there was no central heating so we were quite cold despite a fire in the lounge. It would have been better if it could have been on then as the weather was so cold.. A minor point but as the water was hard there were lots of bits in the kettle and the filter was missing. Otherwise we very much liked the bungalow and its position so near the sea and facilities in West Bay. The adjacent caravan park was not a problem to us as everywhere was quiet.

- Mrs Plant, April 2021
Mrs Mytton October 2020

“Very comfortable property in an excellent location.”

Nice and close to the harbour. We were a bit concerned about it being noisy as it was so close to the caravan site but it wasn’t,a problem. Very quiet and no noise at night either. A lovely spot for a relaxing break. We especially liked the conservatory and the little reading nook which caught the afternoon sun. It was nice that the owners came to introduce themselves and make sure everything was ok. We would have booked for next year but it was already booked. We would come again.

- Mrs Mytton, October 2020
Mrs Warren August 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed our first stay in Dorset.”

Tern Cottage was clean and very well equipped and perfect place to stay to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and sunrises West Bay has to offer or to explore the Jurassic Coast. It was very nice to meet the owners who came to check if everything was ok. Everything you need is provided in the cottage and lots of information to work appliances and general information. The beach is a 2 minute walk away or a few minutes more and you are in the harbour with an abundance of places to eat, drink or just people watch. Although the harbour is a very busy place all the shops etc surrounding it are superb with restrictions and systems in place to tackle COVID and we felt perfectly safe. We will definitely be back one day. Mrs J Warren (Essex)

- Mrs Warren, August 2020
