It was a lovely little spot with a nice view of rolling hills. The sauna was nice but took a long time toheat up. The hot tub was really nice. It was great having a separate living room/kitchenette since we were travelling with a baby.

We have had a lovely time at Mel and Trish’s! They are so nice and helpful and we have always felt welcome with our two young kids. The bedroom was clean and well equipped with treats and even a few games for the kids. The guesthouse is very well situated to enjoy Weymouth and explore the region. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again!

My partner and I had such a lovely stay here. The room was so lovely and modern and such great value for money. The staff were super easy to deal with and warm and welcoming, and the main strip and seaside are a very short walk away. Highly recommend!
