Very basic accommodation but just adequate. Could do with a refresh. Shower tray in our room was not draining properly. We stayed 2 nights, no room cleaning was done during this time. Breakfast was only available at 08.15 or 09.00 sittings (Check Out 10.00). Only Full English and cereals offered. No Fruit or yogurt at all. Parking not easy and 10 min walk away and £10 per day in season although we got a permit for a £10 deposit. TV miniscule, high on the wall, not easy to watch. No any kind of hosting or interest in guests' comfort. We were basically given the key and the parking permit and never saw the owner again. OK if you stay for a short time, we would not stay longer than 2 days.

we've cut our stay shorter than what we paid for at the Oliver's guest house Weymouth. This is due to many many reasons. we had to swap our rooms and me and my daughter has to stay in a. single room because the double room was up a winding extremely steep staircase with a wobbly hand rail in an attic room and my mother was unable to get up. when asked to change we was greeted with rudeness and refused to help.we additionally had to sleep on top of the bed because the sheets and linen were dirty and stained with hairs too. it was disgusting. also on the way up the stairs the ceiling is far too short as I am only 6'1 and had to fully bend my neck to get up which is a dangerous health hazards and banged my head numerous times. also the walls were hanging off with exposed pipes on the way up the stairs which looked mouldy. how is this even on booking.com. the showers were very tiny l, my head touched the ceiling and the shower water force was limp and it barely washed me and the plug kept bubbling up smelling. I was shocked. also during the night, after a flush the toilet it hummed continuously for 20 mins which echoed through the whole bnb and we can hear everyone else's. I couldn't sleep. now onto hygiene, well the breakfast was alright but the rooms and everything else oh my god. thick dust everywhere looks like it's never been cleaned as explained by the bed linen and the draws were dirty and all the knobs fell off them went to use. curtains were thick dust too. we got told off for being 15 mins late for breakfast yet noone else was there and rude about it to us. after COVID, I thought the place would be a lot more hygienic but it seems not. I feel sorry for anyone who stays here as we are easy people to please but this was horrendous. the worst UK holiday accomodation given to us.…

We booked a room for two nights on booking .com ,room was advertised as a superior double bedroom with en-suite,no way was this superior ,it would struggle to get an average. It was ok for a couple of nights but I would not stay there for a week,it could be a really nice place if attention to detail and a good clean was done. No vegetarian option for breakfast so you only get half a breakfast once the meat parts are taken out. Looking along the row of hotels we always got the feeling they only pick up the bookings once all the others were full up.

Guest house was average it suited our purpose for somewhere to sleep,the room was small and the bathroom was tiny with a huge step up into the shower little steps were supplied but I felt unsafe so would have been very difficult for people with mobilty problems ( room1) , breakfast was average not given a choice ,helped yourself to cereal and was offered full English,no extras on the table like jams and marmalades but you could ask for them,has tea and coffee making facilities in the room,no hairdryers in room, good value for what we paid but do not expect luxury.we didn't have a good view but it didn't spoil our break, Weymouth is lovely and had the perfect weather,owner was friendly but didn't see much of him

Great welcome by the proprietor, however attention to detail what’s the missing factor throughout our stay. What would have made it more enjoyable included: be clear at booking in process that there is a charge for using car parking permit and provide directions to said car park at time of booking. The room was basic but I had lowered my expectations already, my biggest concern was the level of dust in the room: picture frames, light shades, room corners all very visible. I was disappointed that neither bed was made or bins emptied after our first night stay. It was winter and appreciate we need as much light as possible but the curtains were so thin there was no hope of a lie in. My preference at breakfast is to enjoy the food and the moment..I did not appreciate conversations with the host albeit others did.…

Our stay in room 4 was very good and Peter and Ole our hosts were friendly and helpful. Always approachable and willing to help. Good English breakfast where you could have small or a ‘big breakfast’ which was very nicely cooked and presented.

Short four day break with my wife. Met by the proprietor on arrival and handed the keys to room 6 and was informed the stairs were steep, that was a understatement. I am a fit person but found these stairs difficult and I know some of my elderly friends would not of managed them. The room was clean although small facing a noisy main road, the downstairs toilet/shower room smelt of damp probably due the carpet being wet, toilet seat was loose the latter comment have previously been mentioned on a review. English breakfast was good but no other choice, continental breakfast would of been preferred. The hosts were friendly..although the accommodation was dated.

Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Great advice regarding shops, where to park, what to expect at attractions such as Durdle Door, etc. We had a very good selection of breakfast items to choose from or full English, with Toast, preserves, OJ, tea and coffee. Top-ups offered of toast and drinks. Luckily for us we managed to park outside on the main road bays, both days and nights. Oliver’s also offer a free Parking permit for elsewhere, when those bays are full. The room was spacious, well decorated, warm and comfortable. Good sized tv, great shower and tea / coffee facilities. We were very happy with our staycation in Dorset, Peter and Olé were lovely hosts and we would not hesitate to book again. Thank you :))

I booked in at Oliver's Guest house in Weymouth, Dorset, for a few days to coincide with my birthday in December. Virus or no virus, nothing was going to stop me from getting to my place of birth every year. On locating the guest house l was mildly interested, but once inside my thoughts had changed, Peter was very friendly and so was Ole, and l was made to feel very welcome. A bottle of hand sanitizer was there to be used, it took the virus to find out just how welcoming this guest house actually was. Upstairs was bright and tidy, my room was much larger than l had expected, the room was en suite, 2 windows one being a Bay and views of Weymouth Bay could be seen. Although on the main road traffic was not a problem for sleeping, the double bed was very comfortable, more pillows than l have ever seen in a room. The WC consisted of shower, basin and the loo with a heated towel on the wall, very compact. Tv and sofa was also in the room and both were used. A small wardrobe for coats ect was very handy. A chest of drawers and on top a selection of tea and coffee and a kettle. In the morning, a choice of breakfast's all was wonderful and l had no complaints. A short walk to the beach and the town centre and a bit longer walk to get to the Nothe which is on the other side of the harbour, but a good walk, well worth the walk to visit the Fort on the Nothe, views of the harbour and the vessels, a fantastic view of both Weymouth Bay and Portland Bay, and if you like wildlife be sure to take some peanuts with you for the friendly squirrels. There is a lot to see and do in Weymouth, and l haven't even scratched the surface of what can be seen and done in Weymouth.…

We have just had a mini 4 day stay here. Pete and Ole are very welcoming hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The room was lovely and the breakfasts were excellent and cooked fresh while you wait. The room was cleaned every day and there was always plenty of tea and coffee in the room. We stopped here last year and we will be stopping here again as it is so friendly.
