Room was clean but basic. Not much to do in the immediate area but handy for the sea. Breakfast was available if a bit ramshackle as not adequately monitored to ensure there was sufficient food. Had to ask for them to replenish coffee and hot food.

The location of the Hotel is ok if you are taking part in any of the local activities like Diving , water sports and hiking but if just on a break then it’s a bit isolated with very little to do unless you take part in the above , we took the bus to Weymouth a couple of times only £2 each one way . The hotel dining room and bar are clean and well decorated, the in the price breakfast was ok with a choice of a cooked ( buffet) or cereal no issues it was ok , the bar and kitchen staff were friendly and willing to chat and give advice on the local area , our room was adequate for a short stay , it was clean with fresh towels and bedding with the house keeping being done daily , my only niggle was the 3 areas of damp in our room , one above the head of the bed , another above the window and the third below the windowsill, after opening the curtains each morning there was flaked paint on the floor which was cleaned up by the housekeeper this should be addressed as soon as , overall this hotel in my opinion is ok for 2-3 days .

A group of us used this hotel as a base to go scuba diving from Portland marina and it is really convenient for that. The rooms were clean and had everything that you would expect and are good value for money. The buffet breakfast was more than sufficient to set you up for the day. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we're always available in case you had any issues. We ate in the bar one night. There isn't a lot of food choices in this area so the fact that they do food is nice, its convenient and good value for money - I had pie and chips, which was nice. Overall I would recommend staying here if you hope to explore the Portland and Chesil beach area or are diver.

Martin is the hardest-working hotel owner I have ever met. I arrived as a house parent with 8 kids and a coach for a 2-night stay. We changed room configurations multiple times, had wet kit, demands every where and nothing was too much trouble. Go easy on him - he's running an amazing hotel mainly by him self - because thanks to Brxit he cant find any staff. Thank you Martin we really appreciated you looking after us.

Basic hotel, Clean, welcoming, but sadly the restaurant was closed due to staff shortages. Breakfast good staff helpful. Very well located for access to the dockyard/port.
Parking easy.
