Loved the kindness and professionalism of Karen and Richard. Very helpful and 100% dedicated to high standards in all things. We needed easy walking level access to all amenities including restaurants, coffee shops and places of interest.

A fantastic stay at Chapter 1. Perfect location, beautiful room and breakfast. Friendly and helpful host. Highly recommended.

Honestly this was the MOST perfect stay for a new forest adventure. i cannot tell you how special this place is you just need to go an experience it for yourself. Special shout out to ALL the staff, they were just as perfect as the room was. thank you thank you thank you. it was a dream.

Karen and Graham made us feel so welcomed. Hotel was clean and comfortable and in a great location next to the beach and harbour. Also close to some great restaurants.

We just arrived home after great stay at The Anchorage Weymouth and have to say it was One of the Best Hotels we have been to and we go to Weymouth a lot. Our hosts Sarah&Jamie were warm and friendly Our room was spacious and very clean really good shower in ensuite bed very comfortable and great view of the harbour from our window. And finally breakfast plentiful and very nice.

Beautiful accommodation, clean and well stocked. Breakfast was amazing and the restaurant has the most amazing view! Will definitely be back!

Lovely stay, very friendly and attentive staff

We recently stayed at Acqua Beach Hotel in Weymouth and had a lovely experience overall. It’s a nice, small place that feels welcoming and well-kept. The room was very clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. The staff were all fantastic, always smiling, friendly, and very helpful throughout our stay, which made a big difference. Breakfast was really nice, with a good system where you order the night before (before 11 pm). The food itself was great, although the serving time felt a bit...

We stayed at the marquis for one night as we were attending a wedding nearby. We had a lovely stay everyone was really friendly and helpful. The room was really nice with a comfortable bed and great view, and a tasty breakfast was included the next day. We would highly recommend staying if you're in the area, the location is fantastic and though we were only there for a short visit we hope to come back some day to spend some more time exploring the area!

Plumber Manor is a perfect place to stay if you want a peaceful retreat in beautiful gardens , a comfortable bed and delicious food. It has a well stocked bar and the wine prices are reasonable. The only negative was the wifi was weak in the courtyard room we stayed in which caused ‘buffering’ when watching a film. We mentioned it to staff and it will be rectified. It is a family owned hotel so the service feels personal. Somewhere we would definitely like to return to. There are many...

Welcoming staff and attentive service throughout our stay. Food good served well and staff v friendly

Lovely little gem of a hotel. Within walking distance to everything we wanted. Melaney was lovely and couldn’t have done enough for us. The homemade banana bread in the room on arrival was a lovely touch. Breakfast was superb and there were plenty of options including the option to have takeaway breakfast prepared to eat on the beach. We will be back soon!

very close to beach and all amenities, harbour, shops and resturaunts

We were allowed in a bit early as we came by train. The owner Sue is super friendly as were her staff We were right on the beach and could leave the sash windows open for air and to hear the sea. Breakfast was hot and excellent and it’s right next to 2 restaurants with a corner shop behind. The main Sandy beach is only 10 minutes away and the shops are only 15 minutes away Perfect

Fantastic staff, they really made our stay a 10/10! Thank you. The location is also unbelievable, perhaps the best I’ve ever stayed in, would highly recommend for a long weekend away

It was a fantastic little place and very welcoming on arrival. In fact, my partner thought it to be a suitable place to ask to marry him. There is a lovely garden where you can enjoy a nice cup of tea and then breakfast was incredibly generous. Would definitely recommend friends and family to stay and will be staying again myself if in the area:

Great stay at a great pub with good well priced food, room clean and well maintained. Only problems, finding somewhere to eat Monday night and as a business traveller would have like breakfast to be served a little earlier. Although the breakfast tray was good.

Managers Ed and Anika could not have been more welcoming. Location in beautiful village location within driving distance of Dorchester. Room was modern and tastefully furnished and immaculately clean. All staff very attentive and could not do enough for you. Dining was superb and huge range of alcoholic beverages to suit all tastes. Excellent facilities for disabled customers. Even have spare wellies and umbrellas for sudden changes in weather. Excellent nights sleep in very comfortable beds....

Fabulous stay, wonderful building. Extremely welcoming and helpful friendly staff. Fab breakfast. Great proximity to the coast. Definitely recommend it.

Stunning views from the garden
