Wow Wow Wow
I am an author and I don’t have words adequate enough to describe the warmth, comfort and the owner’s effort to make our stay so so memorable. I’ve been to many many hotels around the globe but this hotel had the most alluring ambience ever. It screamed kindness and warmth in every sphere. Everything was done with so much of warmth and deliberation. The generosity was just so overwhelming and there was an abundance of everything. Everything was perfect and it wasn’t about the stay it was encouraging to note that people like this still exist in some small corner of our world. People who value humanity more than money. Thanks darling for a fantastic stay.,

The property was a last minute booking and we were pleasantly surprised. The owner was available on the phone if required. The check was easy. Nice touch with biscuit jar in the room along with plenty of tea/coffee for our 2 night stay. The dining room was very well stocked with breakfast items. Lots of choice, cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit, toast, fruit juice etc. Only downfall of the dining room was the lack of somewhere to clear your rubbish/ plates to. On the 2nd day there were a few people in and no clean tables. Most people would clear away if facilities were available. It was no more than 10 minute walk to the beach and shops so great location too. Owner was very friendly when we saw him on site. Would definitely go back. Great Stay.

Hi Inese,Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and I’m sorry we didn’t live up to your expectations. We list all of our rooms as “Room only” with no meals included. In the mornings we offer a complimentary self-service “light English” buffet style breakfast including teas, coffees, fruit juices, yogurts, toast with jams, marmalade and honey plus a large selection of fresh fruit and berries.We understand in several European countries you may be offered pastries, cheeses, ham and tomatoes for breakfast but this isn’t what we’d offer as a traditional “English” guest house.We are glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay with us and hope to see you again in Weymouth.With thanks,The Driftwood team

Bargain stays in Weymouth, Dorset.
It is a reasonable priced b & b, near to the harbour and shops with lots to see and do. Also close to the train station and nearby bus services.

Clean and comfortable which is what I need for a one night stay, slept very well. There was a lot of help yourself choice for breakfast but no milk or butter which really bought the choice down. There was nobody around to ask for these items. Stay overall was a good experience.

We are there most mornings but sadly not that day.We keep the milk and butter in the dining room fridge with all the fruit juice and yogurts to keep them all fresh, sorry if this obvious.We hope to see you on your next trip to Weymouth.With thanks,The Driftwood team

Very friendly B&B stay. Great for a couple or small family. Very local to town centre (5-10 minutes walk) and right next to the Rodwell Trail if you fancy a cycle or walk to Portland. :-)

First time I have stayed in this B&B. It is really comfortable, parking is onsite, there is plenty of condiments in your room and was very quiet. Breakfast in the morning was perfect, although there was no cooked breakfast available, the selection of cereals, yoghurts, and juices was more than enough. I have stayed in many Bed & Breakfast’s and to be honest this is one of the nicest. Will definitely stay again.

Lonely, disappointing experience
The owners seem to have taken all of the 'hospitality' out of hospitality. No person to be seen on arrival. Make your own breakfast. No one to ask about a Wifi code. No one around to notify that the bread had gone mouldy. I left feeling rather empty and that I had received poor value for money.

Response from The Driftwood team. on 4 Jul 2022
Hi Paul, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review and I’m sorry we didn’t live up to your expectations. We have had many positive reviews from people who have enjoyed their experience here. We don’t have staff on site at all times but there is normally someone here or nearby. We have a key safe system at the front door so you can let yourself in. My number is on the back of the keys should you wish to contact me. All our rooms are listed as “Room only” but we offer a complimentary self-service lite breakfast. There was an eschew on that morning with some of the bread, when this came to my attention I emailed an apology. I hope that you will give us another chance in the future. With thanks, The Driftwood team.

The place nice and quiet
Actually a bit far from the breach, every time we need walk around 20min, and check out time too early, if they put 12pm, it was perfect. Also if they can change the duvet cover in fully cotton, then it was great. The second day, they didnt change the clean towels for us. But overall it was fine and not bad!!

Response from Pete on 16 Aug 2021
Hi Martin, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. At the moment we are operating a “Self Service” check-in. This is the 1st year we have operated this system and it has been very popular with most of our guests. We email all guests the day before with the instructions. At the moment we are listing all our rooms as "Room only" and no meal plan is included. We are offering a "complimentary lite self-service breakfast" but this is a free add on. We hope to be able to offer the full traditional breakfast from spring 2022 but can't at the moment. You were charged full price as the booking you had made was for room only. We have had many happy visitors but we are sorry we didn’t live up to your expectations. With thanks, The Driftwood team.
