A very friendly owner. The rooms are very clean and uniquely decorated. The mattresses are very comfortable. The views from the windows are wonderful, especially of the marina. The location is excellent—just a few steps from the beach.

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful room with an amazing sea view. The room was comfortable, spotless, and the scenery made our trip even more special. A special thank you to Maxine, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Her warm, friendly, and fun personality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble, and her positive attitude truly enhanced our short getaway. We would highly recommend this place and would love to return in the future.

Pleasurable stay

Hostess Maxine was very welcoming, open, honest and very friendly. Harbour view from our clean, cosy and comfortable room was amazing. The bed was so comfy too. The Ocean has it's own character with themed but subtle rooms. The bar is an honesty bar. All in all was a fab stay.

The guest house was well-located and very clean. We had Room 5 which was on the second floor with a sea view - the only downside was that it was quite noisy until late at night with traffic/music. We'd probably opt for a rear-facing room next time, which over-looked the harbour. The room had everything we needed, although a fan would have been useful as it was very hot when we stayed. Breakfast was good quality and tasty, but the only option seemed to be a cooked breakfast - no cereals, fruit etc., and we weren't offered toast - as the last guests in it looked as though things were being cleared away so we didn't like to ask. We were unsure of the parking situation on arrival so paid to park in a nearby street for a couple of hours - on checking in we were given a parking pass that enabled us to park in any 'Zone F' area. Overall a very enjoyable experience, Maxine was very down to earth and welcoming.

Fantastic stay, Maxine is a star, amazing host and full of smiles and chat! Our room (5) was amazing, had everything in it you could possibly need, bed is the best I’ve slept in and the breakfast was 1st class full English. Highly recommended and just wish we were staying longer! Thanks Max x

The best place to stay in Weymouth

The property is tastefully decorated in great condition and extremely clean and tidy. We street parked during our stay with no issues with a parking pass from our amazing host Maxine. Our stay wouldn’t have been the same without her , went above and beyond to make our experience of Weymouth the best it could be starting the day with a delicious breakfast and the go too’s and must sees of what the area had to offer. Booking anywhere else would be a waste of money… this is the place it Stands proud and above anywhere else, we are so glad we booked We’ll be back.

We stayed 1 night to attend an event at Weymouth Pavilion so the Ocean was in the perfect location just a 2 minute walk away. Lovely welcome by Lyn and the room was clean and cozy with a view of the beach. The bed was very comfy and the newly refurbished bathroom was good. Breakfast was excellent freshly cooked and ample portions, plenty of cereals, toast, fresh fruit, yogurts etc. A nice touch was the homemade cake in the lounge which you could help yourself to...thank you Lyn. Overall lovely stay and would use again.

I had a great short stay, our host and staff were lovely, I was made to feel very welcome on arrival and was given just the right amount of information about my stay, which did come in useful. My room was a good size, very very clean and tidy, I had a great view of the harbour and was very happy with my choice. I will look forward to staying again when I go back to Weymouth. I will not run the risk of trying somewhere else and being disappointed , which I think, I would be as the standard was set very at the Ocean. WELL DONE THE OCEAN Thank you.

Had a lovely room with sea view and king size bed. Great little extras like a pair of binoculars on the window sill to explore the view. Couple of easy chairs in the bay window with coffee table. A real pleasure to sit there in the sun! One word of warning, if you are infirm or not able to carry your own cases easily up the property stairs this venue is probably not the right choice for you as there is no lift (it’s a listed building). Maxine our host was lovely and my wife and I highly recommend the Ocean Guest House!
