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.

The Best Places to Stay in Weymouth

For families

Moonfleet Manor is a handsome former stately home overlooking Chesil Beach, with family fun firmly at its heart. Little ones can head off on fossil hunts, climb trees, explore rock pools or splash about in the baby pool, while a crèche and plenty of family-friendly facilities make life easier for parents. There’s also a spa for some well-earned downtime, plus lovely grounds and sea views to enjoy.

For boutique chic

No 98 Boutique Hotel is a characterful coastal hideaway, where classic blue-and-white interiors, thoughtful details and a relaxed atmosphere set the scene. Guest rooms make the most of the sea views, with smart bathrooms and comfortable touches, while the cafe is the place to settle in for a hearty breakfast. A friendly, intimate base for couples and families, just moments from Weymouth’s seafront and town centre.

For a charming inn

Tucked away in the sleepy hamlet of Osmington Mills, The Smuggler's Inn is a great base for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Its eight bright, seaside-inspired rooms feature painted wood panelling and homely details, while the cosy pub serves seasonal dishes by the fire. Step outside to join the South West Coast Path, with fossil-rich beaches and dramatic coastal walks close by. Dogs are welcome too.
