🌿 Best Walk in West Bay? We Think We’ve Found It! 🌿

If you’re visiting West Bay and fancy stretching your legs, one of our favourite walks is the route from West Bay to Burton Bradstock and back along the coast path.

Starting at the harbour, the walk takes you through beautiful countryside before joining the stunning Jurassic Coast. Along the way you’ll enjoy breathtaking views across Lyme Bay, dramatic cliffs, rolling countryside and, on a clear day, views stretching for miles. The circular route is around 5 miles and is suitable for most walkers.

Don’t forget your camera 📸 – the views are some of the best in Dorset!

After your walk, why not reward yourself with a delicious lunch, homemade cake or a refreshing drink here at Haddon House Hotel? ☕🍰

Have you done this walk before? We’d love to see your photos in the comments! 👇

🌟 Meet the Team Monday – Gavin, Our Head Chef 🌟

This week we’d like to introduce you to our fantastic Head Chef, Gavin. 👨‍🍳

Gavin has been part of the Haddon House Hotel family for an incredible 18 years, and with 26 years of cheffing experience, he brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and dedication to our kitchen every single day.

After studying at Weymouth College, where he achieved both his Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Catering, Gavin went on to work at well-known local establishments including Palmers Wine Bar and The George in West Bay before joining us here at Haddon House.

Although Gavin was born in Bradford, he moved to Dorset at the age of 8 and proudly considers himself a local Dorset lad. ❤️

His favourite dishes to prepare are fresh local fish dishes, making the most of the fantastic produce available right here on our doorstep along the Jurassic Coast. 🐟

Anyone who has worked with Gavin will tell you that he has strong morals, a great work ethic, and is a true team player. He is always willing to help others and takes great pride in delivering quality food for our guests. Outside of work, Gavin is a family man who is incredibly close to his family and friends.

We’re very lucky to have him leading our kitchen and helping make Haddon House Hotel what it is today.

❤️ Thank you, Gavin, for your 18 years of loyalty, hard work, and dedication.
