Fantastic Stay

What a great character place to stay for a couple of nights. Beautifully refurbished rooms and quiet even though close to a road. The inclusive breakfast was excellent with cereal, bread/toast, a selection of jams and a choice of hot food brought to you fresh and of course unlimited tea/coffee. All for a similar price to Premier Inn (no competition)

The place is unique in my opinion because of a personal touch, attention to details and amazing people working there. I stayed twice in The Spice Ship with my partner, while we're working in the area. There is also a restaurant with very good food. I don't want to stay anywhere else now.

Amazing room

Amazing room with lots of space and facilities. Plenty of parking and only a few minutes drive to Weymouth and Bowleaze. Breakfast was standard (would have loved fruit or yoghurt included) but the hot food was nice. We weren't keen on the pub food we ate but maybe we made the wrong choices.
