"We stayed at Driftwood for two nights and had a very pleasant experience. The accommodation was comfortable, and the overall stay was enjoyable.

Fairhaven Hotel

8/10 Good

"An unfortunate start to our stay in a very mediocre "standard" double room. The TV did not work, despite a staff member trying to sort it-& was left to the next day as already early evening. This room was "tired" and small. The hotel is an old Victorian hotel, sprawling with work being done. (There was scaffold to be seen from the window & some "works" noise heard during working hours, but faint.) The lift was old, but worked fine and lighting worked on a sensor... not always quite light & the passage was often dim as no daylight. The communal carpets were old and visible dust accumulation along the edges and at corners to doorways. We asked if the TV was noted for fixing at reception the next morning, and this was confirmed. We sat in the dining room and waited for breakfast as I was told by a staff member that I did not need to book just come down and "we will sort you". A sparse continental breakfast buffet was on display and I helped myself to an apple and yoghurt. (I was pleased there was plain greek yoghurt- but the bowl was enough for one generous helping... maybe 2! There was 1 banana and some apples, red and green, pastry, bread and cereal. (None which we eat due to being diabetic.) We didn't wait to have the cooked choice. The coffee was good. On checking at midday about the TV, it was not fixed and we were upgraded to a seafront room. Large &great view, apart from the trek... which included a few short staircases. Asda on JustPark has cheap parking if you can walk"

The Jubilee Hotel East- with Spa Facilities

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here when in Weymouth for my brother's funeral. The staff (bar and reception) can't think of your names but I'm sure you will know who you are if you read this, we're so kind and caring and nothing was too much trouble. Did find a random sock in my room but hey ho lol. I didn't have an evening meal but what I saw looked dam delicious. Breakfast, everything you could ask for just a shame I didn't have a big enough appetite. Thanks for looking after me ❤️"

Aaran Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"From start to finish Hyacinth was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble for her a real people person. The breakfast was also a real highlight cooked by Danny.The whole property was immaculately clean with great facilities including the shower which can be a problem in an old building but not this one. Highly recommended and will be staying here again, a real 5 Star experience."

Durdle Door Hotel

8/10 Good

"Stunning location and very friendly, helpful staff. Room decent but a bit small. Could do with a fan as no air conditioning. No lift and don't recommend this area or property if you have mobility issues. You have to pay for breakfast and drinks are also extra. Didn't like that. Breakfast wad ok, bit let down in terms of the very limited offering eg had to pay same for a "veggie option " which was the meat version without sausage/bacon so literally just egg beans and tomatoes which was a rip off. No veg offering at all. No hot options such as porridge or pancakes etc. Continental offering was basic and things not covered so I didn't like that. But it was so so. 5/10 for breakfast. Major issue is that the area becomes log jammed due to the natural beauty which means traffic in and out to this tiny place is horrendous. There is a large carpark opposite the hotel but if you have cases, luggage etc it is not an easy hike up to the hotel from the car as its steep and not near when carrying stuff. There really is not parking for more than a couple of cars on site and the access is difficult unless in a very small car due to the turn into the property and steep hill up."
