Liked: Been going to west bay for a number of years now and always had a lovely time but this year was a nightmare. I went for 2 weeks the 1st week was perfect but during the 2nd week I almost went home early. We had a group of men in there 40s move on who were drinking &arguing until 230 am keeping residents awake then we had another 2 families move on once again family were noisy and constantly smoking weed so we had to put up with the smell of that then the other family consisting of 6 children &6 or 7 adults were constantly shouting using bad language to each other as well as the children. The children were running around tripping over people's guidelines running around in front of cars screaming and shouting so myself and other tourers were in the middle of this everyday. Apparently people had put a complaint in to reception but no action was taken. In my opinion they should have had a warning &if they carried on with the unsociable behaviour they should have been removed from the site. It is not fair that alot of people's holidays were ruined by 3 groups of people. This was in September after the children were back at school.
Disliked: The fact that these groups were allowed to carry on with unsociable behaviour with no warnings to to be a bit more consideret to the other people on the park.

Liked: Every member of staff we came in contact with were helpful, friendly and polite. The site and the amenities were spotless.
Disliked: While the touring pitch was large it was down a dead end, and as we were in the very last pitch, it was tight turning the caravan around.

Liked: The motorhome pitch was good with hedging for privacy either side. The touring field is to back of site, but we had a fully serviced pitch which met our needs in full. Footpath from site takes you directly into Bridport, which has a delightful market on Wednesday and plenty of galleries and coffee houses before a walk back. Didnt use entertainment as dogs not welcome. Also recommend fish and chip shop nearby, very good size portions and fish was tasty.
Disliked: Pitchesxare on top of each other and I do prefer a more tranquil setting.

Liked: The staff were really friendly, always had time for a chat. The site was clean & tidy all the time. Just a very short walk to the local harbour where there are lots of places to eat, beach on either side (one side is disabled friendly), market and a some gift shops. Great place for fishing with fishing shops as well. Ideal if you just want to go for a walk and a wonder round. Bridport town is a short walk away or there are buses that go into Bridport town, Weymouth and other places although they only run every 2 hours so you do have to plan your day. There are so many places to go and see and do. Fantastic place to go We loved our stay so much we extended our stay by 2 days
Disliked: Pitches are quite small if you have a large awning. You have to park your car within your pitch (they are very strict with this) and it can be difficult. The shower/toilet block is cold most of the time because there are 2 doors which are always open. There isn't anywhere to put your things except on 2 hooks on the door in the shower so if your not careful your stuff gets wet. Had to go to the entertainment centre to get wifi

Liked: Booking of the holiday was great via Pitchup. Organisation at West Bay was great too for checking in. When we arrived there was a dog poo bag from the previous travellers left on our site but the warden at West Bay cleared it away really quickly. Site was clean. Shame the pool wasn't working as, with the weather being as bad as it was, it would have been nice to have that as an option. Site is perfectly placed for exploring the village.
Disliked: pool was closed due to unforeseen circumstances - would have been nice to have been advised of this beforehand.
