Note: Rooms on the 4th and 5th floors are accessible only by stairs and have electric storage heaters instead of central heating.

Dining & Breakfast

Breakfast is served with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can request breakfast in bed. Tea and coffee are available in all rooms, and staff can deliver coffee and cake trays upon request.

Leisure & Activities

The hotel is steps from Weymouth Beach, offering family-friendly activities like pedalos and Punch and Judy shows. The South West Coast Path, England's longest footpath, starts nearby. Explore landmarks like Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, or follow the Thomas Hardy trail in Dorchester.

Location & Transport

The Gresham is on Weymouth's seafront, a 5-minute walk from Royal Yard car park. The train station is 5 minutes away, and bus stops are near the Kings Statue (7-minute walk). Bournemouth Airport is 65 km from the hotel.

Services & Policies

Check-in after the specified time requires advance notice. Rooms are deep-cleaned between stays, and daily housekeeping is suspended. Guests can store pushchairs in hallways. Staff provide tourist information from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Personal data is stored securely and deleted after 3 years.

“Gresham Guest House stands out for its owner-operated charm and prime position right on Weymouth's esplanade; I think the historical character, housed in a Grade II listed building, adds real appeal. The option for a full English breakfast, coupled with easy access to the beach and train station, seems ideal for a relaxing seaside escape. Overall, it feels like a particularly good choice for couples or families.”

Average Stay. Unserviced Room.

small bed unserviced room
The location was acceptable.
The bed in the room was small for two people. The hotel did not service the rooms daily. They attributed this to environmental concerns. I remain unconvinced that washing linen and towels is environmentally damaging. I paid around £100 a night and expected more than I received.
