"The location is outstanding as well, I cannot think of a better one in the whole town, especially if you are using Weymouth as a base to travel around the coast: the train and bus stations are both less than 5 minutes away, the beach is just across the road."

charming seaside stay

friendly host convenient fridge

the hosts were friendly and helpful, even offering tips for local restaurants. my room had a small fridge (very convenient) for storing drinks and snacks. breakfast included tasty options like a full english and the al'ula arabian style breakfast. the lounge features unique decor and history books about the area.

the room was smaller than i expected and did not include bedside cabinets, which i found inconvenient. i missed having lamps available near the bed.
