The Redcliff

Weymouth

Just a few paces from the beach, The Redcliff offers views across Weymouth Bay, and street parking is available nearby. Weymouth town’s restaurant and pubs are a 10-minute stroll away.

All rooms at The Redcliff have Freeview TV, tea/coffee making facilities, toiletries and a hairdryer. Fabulous, from the hearty welcome, comfy bed, fresh sea breeze, open windows, tv in our room. Mini fridge was a bonus with real milk. Hot shower, great access to the esplanade. Hubby loved the sound of the waves on the beach. Easy parking straight out the front. Even a great breaky, nothing was an issue, a hug goodbye. Fabulous, wish we had stayed longer.

With free private parking, the property is 20 km from Monkey World and 25 km from Poole Harbour. Corfe Castle is 32 km away and Salisbury Racecourse is 35 km from the guest house. Breakfast was excellent and honestly why we chose Portman Lodge. My husband wanted to experience an English Breakfast. Neal was super helpful and friendly.

The Angove

Weymouth

At the guest house, units have a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Every unit has a kettle, while certain rooms include a balcony and others also offer sea views. At the guest house, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. Our twin room was small but had everything we needed, including lots of storage. The view of the beach was stunning, and the noise of the road was very minimal. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choice and served in a room with a view. Arrival and check-out were super easy. We were able to leave our bags to collect later in the day. The location was fab, close to the train station and to beautiful coastal walks. Friendly owners who chatted with us about local walks and recommendations of where to eat. Can't wait to return!
