The Guest House is in the best position in Weymouth as all rooms have views of either the sea or the harbour and is close to the Town Centre and Pavilion Theatre. The property is Grade II listed and all double rooms are en suite whilst the two single rooms share facilities.
Our client has carried out many improvements and the property has a very modern fire alarm system including a beacon system for the deaf; The property benefits from partial gas fired central heating which is currently laid to the Lower Ground, Ground and First Floors with independent electric heaters to rooms on the second and third floors making for efficiencies in the winter months.
Weymouth is not over bedded and therefore buyers can expect very high occupancy rates in the season and also due to the fact that Weymouth beach was voted No.1 Best UK beach in 2023 and Best UK beach in the TripAdvisor Travellers Choice awards 2024 and gained The Seaside Award 2025
To the rear of the guest house is an enclosed large courtyard with a covered seating area, storage and space for two cars, if required. Long Workshop/Store. Double wooden gates open out to the harbour side.

The agents have inspected the accounts for recent years and the turnovers show consistency with takings for the year ended April 2025 of £68,295 achieving reconstituted net profits of approximately £22,000 after adding back loan interest – like many similar businesses, most of the personal outgoings such as rent, utilities, food and motoring expenses are paid before tax by the business. The owner informs Lawrence Wright that the 2026 season has been particularly lucrative.
The business opens most of the year, closing at Christmas and for around two weeks in the winter for holidays.
