Home from home

Loved it the moment i got in the door,i had that comfortable homely feeling, not all Ikea like most places,very interesting building, slept like a log,silent night's, breakfast beautiful, i had eggs benadict,so yellow yokes,the lady was lovely felt like my family, and my wee dogs had VIP treatment, and free parking just out the the front,private car park.Location was perfect, Stones throw away from everything. The towels thick fluffy, i had my own towel and did not want to upset the towel display. Lots of history to the building, and the one next door had an amazing tree of little birds. Thank you for your hospitality perfect hosts.Hope to come back.

the host was excellent. Her breakfasts were first class and

Stones Throw guest house is first class. Nicki was so helpful and lovely. Lovely breakfast (various options all piping hot) definately the best dog friendly guest house we have ever stayed in. Nicki made us and our Cavalier king Charles Spaniel feel so welcome. We would most definitely recommend Stones Throw to anyone and we will certainly be going back.

Absolutely brilliant!

I dont usually leave reviews. But Stones throw was 10/10

Comfiest bed ive ever slept in! Nikki was hands down the most accomodating host ive ever met, due to my travel needs i left prior to breakfast starting. I was met daily with a fresh backn sarnie wrapped in foil for the day ahead.

Couldnt rate thjs higher and will certainly return if im ever in the area again!

Super welcome from Nikki who couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. This is such a well equipped and beautiful B&B with delicious biscuits and fresh milk available. It was a home from home for our dog who had a bed, treats and bowls with her name on! It really is a stones throw from the beach, perfect for exploring Weymouth. We will return!

Great find in a central location. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The owners were really friendly and offered some nice extra touches such as home baked cakes and fresh milk. This guest house is super dog friendly and Alfie loved all the doggy extras. His own bed, bowls and a jar full of treats not to mention all the fuss from Nikki! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Exceptional 10 out of 10

This place is a rarity in today’s accommodation business.

The service is incredible, the organisation and efficiency of the owners is also to be admired.

The professionalism and communication of Nikki isn’t something that you come across very often.

Little comforts, like breakfast served to the room, apple pie on arrival just topped off the stay.

As others have said, the overall experience is exceptional and fully deserving of a 10, I wouldn’t hesitate to return and I cannot remember the last time I said that!

Charming and Great Value!

My husband and I stayed in October 2020 and had a lovely time at the Stone's Throw! We stayed in Room 1 and felt very at ease with the hand sanitizer available, mask wearing, and overall cleanliness of the hotel and our room. Nikki and Pete were extremely friendly, had excellent local recommendations, and cooked a fantastic breakfast in the mornings. We personally liked the guest house decor as well. Lastly, the guest house is located within walking distance to everything, and we didn't have to use our car once while we were exploring Weymouth! Would definitely stay again!

Great B&B, central location and an amazing host

We loved our stay at Nikki's wonderful guesthouse. The B&B is situated a stone's throw from Weymouth beach (with parking) and our host was very friendly and caring, greeting us as soon as we had arrived. My partner, and dog felt very welcome during our short stay. The room was spacious and comfortable and had all the amenities for us and our four legged friend. We had a nice sleep in the double bed and the location was quiet at night. There was also a good variety of choices for our breakfast and we enjoyed it very much. Thanks Nikki and we would love to come back some day.

Radiator not really working well, but soon to be fixed! Furnishing nice; clean and modern. Breakfast good. Dogs welcome, which is nice although we don't have one. Would advise family to stay here.
Cons: telly small. Lots of dust on top of wardrobe where stored cases. Bathroom very cold.
Pros: really nice hosts.Comfy bed. Good value for money. Parking!! Breakfast. Location.

Just right

This B&B was just what we wanted as it is a two minute walk to the seafront and beach and a five minute walk to the main town shops, yet it is surprisingly quiet for such a central location. The only noticeable noise was the mechanical streetsweeper which passed by every morning keeping the road lovely and clean. Our room was spacious, the bed was really comfortable, a very good breakfast, and the young owners were welcoming and efficient. We would recommend it.

Not as expected

Went on the reviews and thought great this is just what we wanted for a 4 night stay. Although the room was clean it was exceptionally small for a double. The bathroom had been put on one side along the wall and was only as wide as the shower ,the sink was narrow but even so you had to stand to one side to wash your hands. My hubby tried to sit on the loo but his knees hit the door so if he needed the loo he would have to have the door open. I phoned the owner and said we would be checking out after breakfast as the room wasn't suitable .That night he came with a full refund and said, no breakfast you have had a full refund and he didn't want anyone there who wasn't happy .We didn't ask for a refund as we were prepared to pay for the room and breakfast, we were going to give him the room rate minus breakfast costs. After his not very polite attitude we decided not to leave him any money and left early the next morning. This was a downstairs room and there was no mention of its size on the website.

Like any seaside stay do not take your car for a car wash beforehand, you will need to once you leave as the seagulls have a field day.
