Seacrest Guest House

Great location, next to harbour with lovely pub / restaurants and across the road to the beach

The location is fantastic. Our room on the top floor had a view of Weymouth Bay. Rooms at the back had a view of the harbour, so you couldn't lose really. It's very easy to walk from Seacrest into the town, to the beach, and to the harbour. And further to Nothe Fort and onwards if you wish. There are lots of great places to eat and drink nearby. The best are overlooking the harbour. Seacrest doesn't provide breakfast, but the provisions in the little fridge were great. We didn't use them, but there were croissants, jam, milk, yoghurt, and water. We did notice that the croissants were out of date though. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well.

The room we were allocated was a little dated. It seemed as if it, and maybe the other rooms, could do with a good refurb. Small, which wasn't a massive issue as we weren't spending a lot of time in it, but not a lot of room to manoeuvre. The en suite shower is shoe horned into a corner, so that reduces the space. The toilet is in there, but the basin is in the bedroom, again reducing the space, and there is very little room to lay out your toiletries. The 'wardrobe' was also shoe horned into a corner and wasn't tall enough to hang up anything long. Free parking is available on the street with a permit from the premises on a first come, first served basis. We drove around when we arrived looking for a space, but nothing was available. This was mid-May, so it must be awful in the summer. We had to park in the nearby Pavillion Car Park. Very handy but be prepared to pay £15 plus for a day if you're staying for an extended period of time. The owners weren't available between 6 pm and 10 am, except in an emergency, which was difficult if you had a question or two, which we did. So, our questions weren't answered. Also tricky if you're wanting to check in after 6. On the whole, if you're happy with a basic stay, a comfortable bed, and a small room in a great location, plus parking charges of around £15 a day, it's acceptable.

Amazing location

The view from the window, parking permit. Nice location for everything

Room smaller than it looked in the photos, the shower and toilet room was really small, extractor fan really noisy, room was cold and we only found a plug in fan heater in a drawer on the last morning. The bed mattress was to firm for us, so uncomfortable. When we checked in there was a strong curry smell in the property which was still there the next day. Couldn’t get the room dark at night as the curtains did not block all the light out.
