Plussat: We both know thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room we booked was just the standard but was spacious and warm. We had a corner room therefore lots of light.

Plussat: So comfortable wonderful staff and great food options in restaurant

Miinukset: Nothing

Breakfast was a delight, good selection of fruit, cereal and juices. Monica brought us guides for our Stay in Weymouth and listed up some of the best restaurants. Nothing was too much trouble for them both and the house itself is just beautiful. Free parking was available and much appreciated.

Miinukset: I cannot think of any meaningful improvements other than the weather.

Plussat: Very comfortable bed, spacious and well decorated. Relaxing atmosphere and owners and staff member very friendly.

Miinukset: Not easy to ventilate room.

Plussat: The room was lovely decorated comfortable and clean . Staff was super helpful and the breakfast is made to order with options for continental and cooked. Very close to the city center. If you are reading this book this place, you won’t be disappointed!

Plussat: English breakfast was pretty standard, but good and tasty. Room was comfortable with a good shower.We were happy with the location of this B&B. On-street parking close to the B&B could be an issue - luck of the draw. Thought £90 a bit high in relation to the other B&Bs we stayed in on our trip around Devon, Cornwall and South Wales.

Miinukset: No on-site parking available when we arrived. On-street parking close to the B&B could be an issue - luck of the draw. Thought £90 a bit high in relation to the other B&Bs we stayed in on our trip around Devon, Cornwall and South Wales.- I think £80 would have been a fairer price.

Plussat: Very quiet, I work at night and sleep in the day

Plussat: Only booked in for one night- the owner Gary welcomed me with such a bright smile & he had emailed prior to say they were expecting me. Very clean room and the pictures are not clickbait. You get what you pay for!!! Room was very spacious & the shower was even better than expected!! Didnt get to have breakfast due to work commitments but the menu options look great. Looking forward to staying here when I’m in the Dorchester again

Plussat: Lovely and clean, great location, 50% of the staff are amazing and 50% have their head in the clouds, food is hit and miss apart from breakfast which is cooked to perfection, it’s just sometimes run out and whilst the staff (3of them) chat no one gets fed!

Miinukset: Nothing the building is clean and very well presented, just when there is more than 5 people in the kings it gets very hectic for ‘some’ of the staff! The rest of the staff make it a great place!

This is an excellent anchor point with lots of local beauty to explore. From Dustle Door to Lulworth Cove. I even had a fabulous day at Monkey World as a solo traveller and thoroughly enjoyed it. In the room there is an excellent 'explore Dorset book which was helpful and informative. I definitely reccomend this place

Plussat: Closeness to town. A very comfy room and bed and no complaints about us playing music considerately when we returned from a gig. Good value for money.

Miinukset: A little maintenance needed to improve the look of the room. This did not make our stay any less comfortable.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful and friendly and the location for the hospital is perfect.

Miinukset: Bathroom needed a bit of tlc. Mirror was missing and hot tap broken and couldn't control heat of shower. Also bulb gone in one of the bedside lamps.

Plussat: The poor lady who served breakfast and was dropped in it by the boss was lovely and very apologetic.

Miinukset: Appalling service! Rang a few weeks before to say that one person has dietary requirements for breakfast, also said this when we arrived and told the person in charge where he could get a simple loaf of bread and butter. We didn't demand a full cooked breakfast or anything extravagant. When we got up we were greeted by a female member of staff who was lovely but had not been told anything about the dietary requirements. She spent ages trying to get hold on the manager just to be told he had not got anything. The poor woman was left to clean up his mess basically. So my husband walked around the shops, found some bread, jam and butter that we could have and was back within 15mins. We where however allowed to use the plate and knife provided so that was their contribution to our paid for TWICE OVER breakfast. The rooms were tiny, outdated and hot! The bathroom flooring wasnt even stuck down, the glasses were sat on a rusty shelf, so we didnt use them. The curtains were old and didnt really work and the old fashioned windows let in every noise. NOT WORTH WHAT WE PAID!! Very questionable 3*

Plussat: Close proximity cheapish

Miinukset: Tap leaking water everywhere

Plussat: The room was very cold and the portable heater had to be put on

Miinukset: The stairs up to the room were steep you could easily hear the pub downstairs and I had to ask for small towels as there were none in the room

Miinukset: The loud music until 2am

Miinukset: See anove

Plussat: Within easy walk of the town. Not much noise from pub. Breakfast was lovely and hot. USB ports on plug.

Miinukset: Dirty areas on walls, doors, around window, under radiator, and in shower. Bed was broken. Found someone’s tights in the bedside cabinet. No food available on day of arrival - was not told.
