Situated in Weymouth, 2 km from Weymouth Beach and 2.9 km from Weymouth Harbour, Calm sea guesthouse features accommodation with free WiFi in a historic building. The property is located 24 km from Monkey World, 36 km from Corfe Castle and 41 km from Golden Cap. The guest house has family rooms. Mel and Trish were exceptionally warm and helpful hosts who went out of their way to make my stay comfortable, offering great recommendations for local sights and restaurants. The location was perfect—just a short walk to town, the beach, and plenty of dining options—while still feeling peaceful and relaxing. The room was spotlessly clean and cozy, and the guesthouse was close to some truly beautiful natural spots. Out of all the places I stayed during my three weeks in the UK, this was by far my favorite. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!
