“In Weymouth, this family-run guesthouse stands out for its dual aspect-sea views to the front, harbour glimpses to the rear. I think the location makes it a great base, with both the beach and town centre within easy reach. I particularly like that they offer a full English breakfast, catering to vegetarian and gluten-free diets, setting it apart from many similar establishments.”
