Our room was cozy and well decorated. A quiet location but very near to the seafront and a 10 minute walk to town. The breakfast was excellent and well presented. Karen is a great host. She put a birthday banner on my door when she realised it...

I never leave reviews ever, but this place is a real home from home. I can tell you that Karen and Martin are wonderful hosts and we didn’t want to leave, I could have talked to them for hours, such a wonderful family. It’s spotlessly clean,...

Everything, the decor, the room size, the shower and the complimentary breakfast. Its like having a home away from home. The Landlady (I think her name is Karen) even gave my partner good walking routes and nice places for me to go and sit down...

Company information

Hello, we are Karen and Martin. We are both born and bred Weymouth people and therefore we believe that we can offer our guests unique experiences, only known by local people. We love our home town and welcome guest's in to our home to enjoy the local area. We opened our guest house in 2007, with 2 small children, now both wonderful adults. We enjoy coastal walking, all year round, sea swimming, beach combing, bird watching and enjoying the nearby natural landscape. Our eldest daughter is a keen gig rower and often spots dolphins and seals in the bay. Martin is very creative with finding driftwood, seaglass and shells from the beach and making them in to wonderful pieces of art. Weymouth beach is just seconds from our home, the art embraces where we live. For us to help our guests, we like to try local restaurants that we can recommend, as with paid for attractions. However, being local to Weymouth, we can recommend and suggest to our guests, many fantastic places to visit and locations to explore, for free.
