Weymouth Premier Inn

Advantages: handy for ferry, beach, town, County Park
Disadvantages: none

...This Premier Travel Inn is at Lodmoor Country Park in Weymouth, and very convenient for the Sea Life Centre, the town/beach and the ferry. We were catching a ferry from Weymouth in Dorset to Jersey at 7am on the Sunday morning. We only live a 2.5 hour drive away, but didnt want to leave anything to chance and also being pregnant, wanted to make life as easy as possible! So we booked into the Premier Travel Inn at Weymouth. It is on the A353 and was 2 miles from the ferry. We decided to visit the Sea Life centre as we had a free entry voucher from Tesco. I was still shocked at the price though as it cost £13.95 for 1 adult to get in. The centre was ok but I have seen better! Lodmoor Country Park is quite good, there was a big slide and mini go carts for the kids, and you can park and visit all of the attractions...

Weymouth Camping

Advantages: Nice beach, friendly, lots of things to do
Disadvantages: Traffic congestion in the summer & Car Park rip off prices

...I have stayed at Weymouth for the last 3 summers and love the place, it is full of friendly people and there is loads to do. The annual Beach Volleyball Classic is superb and runs for three days over the summer at the beginning of August. I was amazed last year when I got one of the Volleyball programmes to see a picture of myself and brother and sister on the front cover! This review is all about camping, I will include a few places to visit in and around Weymouth. Here are the sites I have stayed on, I have rated them in terms of my experiences: - LITTLE SEA HAVEN HOLIDAYS SITE This is a five star site and is popular for families with all the usual Haven facilities. There is an outdoor and indoor swimming pool, Nightclub with entertainment, Amusements, shop, takeaway, laundrette and outdoor play area plus caged football arena...

Review of Weymouth (England)

Weymouth: A Pleasant Resort

Advantages: Nice mix of old and new. Nice harbour, good shopping
Disadvantages: Can get crowded at height of the season

...I have only been to Weymouth twice but both times I was lucky weather wise because I enjoyed splendid weather.Actually Weymouth is a rather nice mixture of old and new,traditional and modern,lively and sedate,and that is why I like it.The esplanade is elegant with some nice Regency style buildings but it is also busy,vibrant and lively. If you enjoy real character then the old Weymouth harbour is a good place to head for and there are some very cosy bed and breakfast places to stay in. There is a lot to do and see in the Dorse resort. You can go on a boat trip, visit Portland, have a trip round a brewery, or attend one of several popular summer shows. The dining out scene in Weymouth is varied. There are a lot of very traditional seafront cafes which are relatively inexpensive but dont pretend to serve up gourmet food. In the harbour...

Review of Weymouth (England)

Weymouth Sealife Centre - Tranquil Day Out

Advantages: Relaxing, nicely located, fun, educational
Disadvantages: a bit pricey unless you book online

...I can really recommend a day out at Weymouth Sealife Centre, because I felt that it was a fun, educational, and a tranquil family day out, and thought the place was worthy of a really good review on CIAO. Tranquility is something which is rare to find on many family days out, which is why I also thought Weymouth Sea Life Centre deserved a special mention. If you combine visiting this attraction with a good cheap nights rest at the Premier Inn ((http://www.premierinn.co.uk/). the night before, and then a leisurly breakfast at the Brewers Fayre (Lodmor Inn nextdoor to Premier Inn and two minutes walk from Sea Life Centre), you should hopefully be in the right frame of mind for getting the best from this attraction. All the walking between the Travel Lodge, the Lodmoor Inn, and around the Sea Life centre was on the flat and I...

Review of Weymouth Sealife Centre

Weymouth is Pleasant Enough

Advantages: Nice architecture. Old Weymouth is attractive
Disadvantages: Gets very busy

...Weymouth in Dorset is a popular resort on the South Coast of England and attracts a lot of holidaymakers from London and the Midlands. There is a good rail service from London Waterloo which terminates at Weymouth and there are also coach services to the resort from the major UK cities. It is a thoroughly pleasant town with a good array of attractions to suit a wide variety of tastes. On my last trip their in September 1999 I had glorious weather and thoroughly enjoyed my two day stay. The promenade is very pleasant and there are a lot of distinguished Georgian style properties including several seafront hotels and a large number of guest houses and bed and breakfast places. Holiday camp accommodation is also available. The eating scene is good. On and near the seafront are a number of traditional English eateries including...

Review of Weymouth in General

Premier Travel Inn at Weymouth - Cleverly located

Advantages: Clean and Tidy
Disadvantages: None

...I can really recommend the Premier Travel Inn at Weymouth, simply for the reason that it is situated less than 2 minutes walk to the Weymouth Sealife Centre, and also less than a minutes walk from Lodmoor Inn (Brewers Fayre), which the Premier Inn have an all in eat as much as you like breakfast deal arrangement with the Lodmoor Inn, kids eat free if adults pay £7.50 each for all in breakfast. If you stay over night and ask nicely they might let you use the free parking the following day so that you don't have to pay at the Weymouth Sealife Centre (should you intend to visit there). Some key points made in other reviews, which I agree with. It is very convenient for the Sea Life Centre, the town, the beach and the ferry. Booking is really easy to do online, and if you book online you only pay for the room upon arrival (see...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Weymouth, Weymouth

WEYMOUTH HOTEL

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Single rooms very small, Inadequate facilities

...Arrived as alone traveller, opting for the Crown Hotel at Weymouth due to its apparent convenience to the followings days meeting at Portland. The receptionist was extremely helpful and explained the lack of parking at the hotel, suggesting the secure garage option - parking available at the rear of the hotel. Very well priced at £2.50. Regretfully that is where the pleasant experience ended as the room offered was very small and was located above the Weymouth town centre main road. Tea/ coffee making equipment were sparse, room floor creaked with every step that was taken, plus the TV did not work. Explained this to the receptionist, but she explained that no rooms were available due to the fact that they had their 'Turkey and Tinsel' night (22 Nov 2007 !!). TV remained unfixed (I had sufficient work to progress with), despite my...

Getting Around in Weymouth..

Advantages: Plenty of options during the day
Disadvantages: expensive taxi's only after midnight

...Nice imaginitive title don't you think? I thought I'd write a summary of the pro's and con's of travelling around Weymouth once you get there as there seems to be nothing detailed on it so far! Brief description of Weymouth: Weymouth is a coastal town in South West England famed for it's long, beautiful beach. Also there are many holiday parks (don't like to be called 'camps' any more!) and as such it is an ideal, relatively cheap, family holiday location. The main town itself consists of many Georgian town house hotels along the seafront, a massive harbour, and of course, there are the usual arcades, cafe's and souvenir shops. There is a pretty impressive selection of shops along the main streets such as Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, & Burton plus many small independant shops. Back to the main review... Getting TO...

Review of Getting Around in Weymouth

Weymouth, Weymouth...where for art thou?

Advantages: Variety of methods
Disadvantages: Difficulties with all

...After living in Weymouth all my life...yes thats 18 years, I feel I can give a rather good review about the area. Being situated on the southwest coast of Britain, Weymouth is a pretty nice little town having everything you could really need. The town centre boasts such shopping delights as Debenhams, Next, Marks and Spencer's, Argos, Burtons etc. Additionally, in the town centre is Cineworld - a rather large cinema and Lakeside - for bowling. The greenary of the area and the World Heritage status of Chesil Beach, means the area is very popular especially during the summer months. There are several ways to get to Weymouth and to comumute around the place, however, it does have a few issues. The journey to Weymouth can be pretty easy relying upon motorways for cars etc. Trains are also schedules to Weymouth, which is...

Review of Getting Around in Weymouth

weymouth a great place

Advantages: great beaches, friendly people, great scenery
Disadvantages: a 7 hour coach journey, you need a car to see everything

...I have just come back from Weymouth, and although it took 7 hours and £45 on a National Express coach it was worth it. i stayed at a guest house called The Pebbles (to contact 01305 784331 Mr Paul Beukers). it is a lovely family run guesthouse, with home cooked breakfasts.it has double, twin, and family rooms both onsuite and not, but it dosent have singles, rooms range from £18 to £25 per person pernight depending when you go and what type of room you stay in. for further information call the number above. it is about 10 minutes walk from the sea front. and about 10 minutes from 2 fast food places which are great. the town of weymouth is clean, but sometimes crowded there are a lot of the typical seaside shops, but also some unique clothes shops and fantastic cafes. the beach is clean and well maintaned with a clear green/blue sea...
