We had a wonderful stay. We booked a sea view room, the view was superb. The room was lovely and had everything we needed. The service we received from Steve (the hotel manager/owner) was fantastic. He made sure we were well catered for at breakfast as vegans. This was the best hotel we’ve stayed in. Highly recommend.

The perfect location, with the perfect host!

Steve, the Narrator, is a perfect host. His level of service is unmatched, and his attention to detail made our stay perfect. The location, on the beach, is spot on as a starting point for exploring all Weymouth has to offer.

What A Find!!

Anyone who has stayed here before will certainly be a return! the place is spotless, the staff are so friendly and welcoming and the location is awesome, our room was a sea view room with a spy glass which my daughter used instead of her telescope and we both had the most amazing stay. We will definitely return!
