About Weymouth

What are the best hotels in Weymouth?

Set on Dorset’s beautiful Jurassic Coast, Weymouth has all the makings of a classic British seaside holiday: a long stretch of golden sand, a pretty Georgian seafront, a lively harbour and colourful streets packed with little cafes, pubs and independent shops. There’s a good choice of places to stay, from family-friendly country houses to cosy pubs and charming boutique hotels. Moonfleet Manor gets our vote as the standout stay, thanks to its gorgeous setting overlooking Chesil Beach, excellent family facilities and relaxed country-house charm.

Weymouth is made for taking things slowly. Spend the morning on the beach, grab an ice cream for a stroll along the promenade or head down to the harbour to watch the boats bobbing about. For a bit of history, Nothe Fort is well worth a visit, while Greenhill Gardens makes a pretty spot for a wander. There's also some fantastic coastline to explore nearby, from the beaches at Osmington Mills to the impressive rock arch at Durdle Door and the beautiful waters of Lulworth Cove. If you fancy a change of scene, head over to Portland for its lighthouse, castle and great sea views.
