Immaculate and highly rated seafront guest house positioned in the very heart of Weymouth’s Esplanade, directly opposite the sandy beach and close to the famous Queen Victoria Jubilee Clock. This long established and exceptionally well maintained business enjoys strong year round demand, excellent occupancy levels and a high proportion of repeat guests.
The guest house offers nine en suite letting bedrooms, five of which benefit from attractive sea views. Guest facilities include a bright and welcoming guest lounge with panoramic bay views and distinctive bay windows, a rare feature in Weymouth. All rooms are well presented and regularly updated, fitted with blackout blinds and supported by WiFi boosters on each floor.
Owners accommodation is arranged as a separate two double bedroom owner’s house, providing a bathroom, separate shower room, large private living room, a renewed kitchen and access to a pretty private garden. This layout offers excellent separation between the business and private living space.
The premises are held under the terms of a rare and valuable special lease where the council is responsible for the structure including the roof, windows, balcony and exterior decoration and in late 2025 they painted the back and front, fixed any roof work needed, guttering all cleared, windows all redone and restored, fixed any doors etc...
This significantly reduces maintenance costs and long term liabilities for the operator. The owners have invested in a number of high quality upgrades, including new shower rooms, water tanks, a new boiler and cylinder installed in 2023, as well as a four camera security system.
The business has been operated by the current husband and wife team since April 2021 and is offered for sale due to retirement.
