The Ocean Guesthouse

Text: This was a unique hotel , very different from anywhere else I’ve ever stayed . The host Maxine is out going and very funny . She Made me fill very welcome as soon as I arrived. The hotel is full of many thinks to keep you intrigued . I stayed in room 6 which was very comfortable, it’s home from home with everything you needed including a hot water bottle. The view out of the window was over looking the harbor which was absolutely beautiful, especially to watch the sunrise. Breakfast was very impressive too, with a good choice to Cater for my needs as I am a vegan . I have only good thinks to say about this hotel apart from a very small complaint which really wasn’t nothing to do with the hotel but the neighbors next door . It looked as if they were having a gathering on there roof terrace which isn’t a problem only that it went on till long after midnight and I had a early start which kept me up longer that I would of liked . Apart from that I had a beautiful time and will most definitely return in the future with my earplugs .

Really enjoyed our stay at the Ocean Guesthouse. We were made to feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble for Maxine who answered all our questions regarding the area. The accommodation was quirky and very clean. The bed was the best I’ve ever slept in and we appreciated the lovely bedding and great view from our room. The location was great a short walk to the beach and harbour. A comfy place to stay if you are visiting Weymouth

Great views of the sea at the front , or the harbour at the back rooms. Very friendly , good laugh .Loads of character around the place, Maxine a good laugh. Staff really nice, nice breakfast .Beds are so comfortable , lovely slept like a log. Rooms are great ,. Had a great break , thank you .

Great New Year Stay Fantastic location in Weymouth The bed was so comfy with cosi pillows and quilt. The owner is friendly quirky and very accommodating And to top it off, a great breakfast. All in all a great place to stay. We will be back 😊

We phoned Maxine direct to book in at the Ocean. She told us we would love Weymouth, and we did. Upon arriving and telling her we had not visited Weymouth before, she advised us where to park and what we might find of interest locally and in the area, where to shop, where to eat and what places we might like to visit. Maxine is a wealth of knowledge and always happy to help. This is a gem of a find in terms of a Guest House. Location is fab with either a harbour or sea view. We stayed in Room 6, view of the harbour, uppermost floor. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Room warm. light, airy and full of nice little touches that you wouldn't normally think of for a guest house. A little jar of mints, lap tray, mini fridge plus the usual tea, coffee, biscuits, mini bottles of chilled milk, water, kettle, hairdryer and binoculars to add to the comforts and relaxation in the room. Nice cups with saucers and glasses with coasters is much nicer than plain crockery and plastic bathroom beakers. Lush carpets, chairs and a little table to sit with a cup of tea and watch the world go by. Plenty of storage, shoe box and hanging space for clothes, coats and possessions. Shower had a note to say that it takes a while for hot water to filter through but we had no issues and there were other guests showering at the same time. Shower lovely, warm, nice water pressure and large too. A basket of toiletries and places to stash your personal items in the bathroom and within the shower was a great idea I thought. Rooms were lovely and clean as was bathroom. Good pillows too. Lovely sash windows that you can open wide and watch the harbour life, yachts, fishing boats and cormorants. We were lucky enough to have the RLNI lifeboat station hold a brass band carol concert opposite the Guest House whilst we were there and there was the Santa chasing the Christmas Pudding Run on the beach too. Locality for the guest house is great for walking into town either for shopping or food. Some nice independent shops and the usual high street brands and stores. Nothe Gardens worth a visit and is a short walk across the bridge. We did the Illuminate evening event at Abbotsbury which was a nice treat, not too long nor a challenging walk but worth a visit at this time of year. It was our first stay, a week before Christmas but we look forward to returning again soon. The Ocean Guest House itself is amazing and full of quirky bits and personal touches. Lots to look at and plenty to entertain. Breakfasts were lovely with a range of foods to choose from and a tasty cooked breakfast. Maxine is kind, caring and so very friendly. A lovely lady, so easy and enjoyable to talk to. If you need anything just ask. The only down side for us was the awful noise we were unfortunate to experience from The Chatsworth Hotel next door as the owner and their "guests" partied until beyond a respectable time. It started around 9pmish on the Friday and did not abate until proba

Wonderful location, decor and superb host! Maxine is fantastic and committed to an outstanding standard throughout. Bedrooms all with amazing views, and all different. Couldn’t have been more delighted! Only drawback, noisy guests in the next door property - both Fri and Sat night. So unfair on Maxine and her guests for whom she does her utmost.

Absolutely the best overnight stay we’ve had. Very clean. Full of quirkiness all around which was lovely. Bed comfy as anything. Lovely sea view watching the sea with a nice cuppa. Everything you need and more provided in the rooms. And fresh milk not the UHT ones in your room. Will definitely be coming back 🥰
