A RARE FREEHOLD Victorian end terrace property which has been extended and which has been established as a guest house for many decades. The location is ideal, in a quiet road off Weymouth Esplanade within one minute by foot of the beautiful beach. A few minutes’ walk along the Esplanade is the town centre and harbour with a wide variety of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants; in the other direction is Weymouth Sea Life Centre.
There is on street parking and parking permits are available for local car parks.
The guest house benefits from double glazing and gas fired central heating from a newly installed boiler and the current owners have carried out specialist insulation on rooms 1 and 5 to make them extra cosy. The rooms are of a high standard and each has a small ‘fridge, hair dryer and smart t.v. as well as the usual tea and coffee making facilities. There is even a small tuck shop in the entrance hall which runs on an honour system.
Weymouth is on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast and South West Coast Path and the guest house has developed a specialist trade with cycling and hiking clubs who can use the rear partly covered courtyard for storage and repair – there is separate access to this facility via a door in the rear wall from a walkway.
This resort is not over bedded and therefore buyers can expect very high occupancy rates in the season, 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.
Outside: Front Garden with a variety of potted flowering shrubs; Rear enclosed courtyard used for drying the washing, partly covered ideal for guest’s cycle storage.
The Business: A long established and highly rated guest house which has been thoroughly refurbished by the current owners since their purchase in 2022. Bed and breakfast is offered most of the year closing for a period in the winter and is managed by a husband and wife team without staff.
This B&B is professionally run by the owners who have re branded the guest house and who have created an enviable turnkey operation for new owners which will have bookings in place and many repeat guests. The business website is very good and has a direct booking facility which has attracted bookings worldwide. There is a world map in the breakfast room which is pinned with a flag when arriving directly from overseas (see photo). Informed takings are approximately £70,000 p.a. without any social media coverage which new owners could add and propel the turnover towards the vat threshold of £90,000 p.a. The business is on the market due to retirement.
Please note below the excellent EPC rating of ‘B’.
Flexible Accommodation The owners have arranged the private accommodation to allow for a grandchild to stay overnight in the two bedroomed suite. New owners may wish to change this arrangement to provide for a single, much larger private bedroom; or,
If a there is a requirement by the new owners to reside entirely on the ground floor, Bedroom 1 could be used privately and the private suite could be a letting suite allowing there to be 6 letting bedrooms.
