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.

We had a absolutely fabulous time greatly enhanced by our us staying at this hotel
Pros:

Absolutely wonderful breakfast. Freshly cooked and plenty of choice. The location is fantastic very close to the beach with spectacular views over the bay. A lot of thought has gone into making visitors feel welcomed. Teresa and her son Callum are wonderful hosts.

Cons:

Perhaps a larger bathroom would have been helpful.

Amazing comfortable so interesting can’t wait to go back. Thank you both for a wonderful day and hope to see you soon.
Pros:

As soon as we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. The Property literally overlooks the sea the view is absolutely amazing. The rooms are spacious and the beds were the most comfortable we’ve ever had in a B&B or hotel in Weymouth. The breakfast was beautiful all freshly cooked and definitely worth a little longer wait. The hosts Callum and Teresa mother and son were amazing Hosts nothing was too much for them. In the evenings, my mother and I spent time in the lounge area upstairs where even though there is a bar they have no license as yet but told us we were welcome to bring our alcohol into the Property and spend our evenings in the lounge with the doors open with the most wonderful Seaview. The Property is decorated wonderfully with lots of information regarding Lawrence of Arabia. Each room has a different theme but I learnt so much about Lawrence of Arabia and found it so interesting. Even the music in the Property fits the theme it was the most relaxing times in the evenings. We have been to many properties in Weymouth and this is the first Property we have said we will definitely be coming back to.

Cons:

There was absolutely nothing we didn’t like.

Pros:

Great location. Welcoming. Room was comfortable, especially the beds. Breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked.

Cons:

Breakfast not served til 9pm so, because freshly cooked often not received til 9.30am. Would have liked breakfast served from 8am. 9 to 9.30 only is too late.
