Quirky hotel with nice hosts but needs some TLC.
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff and comfortable bed. Quirky decor.

Cons:

No cooked breakfast. Cramped bathroom with a shower that didn’t work properly. Tiny TV which you couldn’t watch from the bed.

Pros:

Only continental was available due to the recent health issues of the landlord, normally here is full English.

Cons:

The chemical toilet, but they inherited it so it's going to change.It wasn't really a problem just made a noise when flushed.

Brilliant - best hotel we've stayed in Weymouth.
Pros:

The room was quiet and, more importantly for us, on the ground floor and comforably cool in the heatwave. Can't fault this place - really friendly and accommodating staff, great location, and comfortable. We'll be booking again for next year!

Cons:

Breakfast is quite late - would be nice if it was half an hour earlier, but that's not a big deal.

A unique hotel. No bar, so bring your own refreshments.😄
Pros:

Lovely position, overlooking Weymouth's sandy beach and close to the centre, inc shops & the railway station.
Run by the owner and her son, who provided a personel B & B service, inc a good breakfast.
Our room was very large and comfortable, with a very useful fridge - during this end of June heatwave.

Cons:

Parking, was not really possible, near the hotel. The nearest pay car park was at least 10 mins walk, assuming space availability! Also difficult if you have much baggage. Also several steps up fro street level.
