We really enjoyed our stay with a newborn child. Bet and Poppy were very courteous, Zoe in reception was also amazing. We felt extremely welcomed so thank you. The breakfast was just sublime.
Just a few bits of other feedback. The ventilation in the bathroom is quite poor, the bed mattress was also uneven making sleeping uncomfortable.
Overall, we will come back again and stay.

Nice size property. Missing the more luxury/comfort items.
Garden furniture ok not as images. Has a comfy dining table. Balcony furniture present but not suitable for the area. High stools and table not appropriate needs more relaxing items to make area useful otherwise it was good for drying clothes.
Area is central and easy for amenities, cafes, beach, shops etc all easy to walk to. Noisy as near heliport and some days this is busy from early morning till after 10 at night. Not overly...

Loved the kindness and professionalism of Karen and Richard. Very helpful and 100% dedicated to high standards in all things. We needed easy walking level access to all amenities including restaurants, coffee shops and places of interest.

Karen and Graham made us feel so welcomed. Hotel was clean and comfortable and in a great location next to the beach and harbour. Also close to some great restaurants.

Hotels we have been to and we go to Weymouth a lot.
Our hosts Sarah&Jamie were warm and friendly Our room was spacious and very clean really good shower in ensuite bed very comfortable and great view of the harbour from our window.
And finally breakfast plentiful and very nice.

Welcoming from the start with a pot of tea on arrival. Beautiful decor with homely feeling. Room and bed very comfortable and the breakfast is delicious - and all locally sourced where possible. Convenient for the town but need a car really to get down to the promenade. With ample street and some off road parking this wasn't an issue. Free wi-fi a bonus. Would definitely return.

Arrived on Friday 3rd November and greeted by excellent weather for the time of year and was greeted by Geoff the owner who was suprised to see who was arriving as we had previously visited and stayed at the bed and breakfast under a different name in August where my wife and I spent our honeymoon.

Lovely little gem of a hotel. Within walking distance to everything we wanted. Melaney was lovely and couldn’t have done enough for us. The homemade banana bread in the room on arrival was a lovely touch. Breakfast was superb and there were plenty of options including the option to have takeaway breakfast prepared to eat on the beach. We will be back soon!

We were allowed in a bit early as we came by train. The owner Sue is super friendly as were her staff We were right on the beach and could leave the sash windows open for air and to hear the sea.
Breakfast was hot and excellent and it’s right next to 2 restaurants with a corner shop behind.
The main Sandy beach is only 10 minutes away and the shops are only 15 minutes away
Perfect

We had a wonderful night at Aaran Guesthouse,
Hyacinth was an absolute gem, very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and cosy, with an amazing view of the bay. The fridge in the room was handy for keeping our drinks cool. The breakfast was very nice. We would love to stay again in the future.

It was very nice that we had been saved a parking space and the host was there to take my case. Very nice room clean and well thought out and even an iron and ironing board .
