Description
Just moments from Weymouth’s award‑winning sandy beach and positioned along the attractive terrace of Waterloo Place, Beachcomber Guesthouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, well‑reviewed and beautifully maintained seaside business in one of Dorset’s most desirable coastal locations. Guests can step outside and be on the beach within moments, with the Esplanade, town centre, harbour, shops, cafés and transport links all an easy stroll away. Several of the front letting rooms enjoy glimpses of the sea, adding to the appeal for holidaymakers. The property also benefits from a private rear car park accommodating up to six vehicles.
Offering eight letting bedrooms—six en suite—alongside a well‑appointed private owner’s suite, the layout provides excellent flexibility for lifestyle buyers seeking comfortable on‑site accommodation. The owner’s accommodation comprises a large double bedroom, a modern fitted kitchen, laundry area, utility room, bathroom, and a generous living room with private access to a beautiful enclosed courtyard garden. A separate office provides a useful workspace away from guest areas, ideal for administration, bookings and day‑to‑day management of the business.
The guest accommodation is beautifullypresented throughout, with recent improvements including a new boiler, new hot water tank, renewed ground‑floor flooring, and fridges installed in all letting rooms. The property is held on a 60‑year full repairing and insuring lease from 2007, with five‑year rent reviews and a current rent of £12,950 per annum.
A Proven, Highly Rated Business
Beachcomber Guesthouse has built an exceptional reputation, consistently achieving 4.6/5 from 104 TripAdvisor reviews, with guests praising its cleanliness, comfort, warm hospitality and unbeatable proximity to the beach. Comments highlight the friendly husband‑and‑wife team, seaside‑themed rooms, thoughtful touches, and the value of free on‑site parking, a rarity along Weymouth’s seafront.
On Booking.com, the guesthouse holds an 8.9 “Fabulous” rating from 203 reviews, with guests repeatedly commending the hosts’ helpfulness, the excellent position just steps from the beach, comfortable rooms, and the convenience of private parking.
A further independent rating shows 4.9/5 from 43 Chamber of Commerce reviews, reinforcing the guesthouse’s reputation for immaculate rooms, comfortable beds, generous facilities, and consistently warm, personal service.
Flexible Offering & Strong Income
The current owners have successfully operated the business since 2019 and are now retiring. They introduced flexible tariffs—rooms offered with or without breakfast—which has proven popular with guests. A full cooked breakfast is available at £13, continental at £8, and privately booked room rates range from £62 per night for a single room to £130 for the larger rooms.
Recent accounts show turnover in the region of £60,000–£70,000, depending on the length of the opening season. The business typically closes in November and reopens in March—offering buyers the option of a comfortable seasonal lifestyle or the potential to increase revenue by extending the operating period. The income potential is upwards of £ 90,000 pa.
A Beautiful Place to Live and Work
Weymouth remains one of the South Coast’s most attractive seaside towns, drawing visitors year‑round with its golden beach, historic harbour, marina, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. The guesthouse is within easy walking distance of the town centre, railway station, bus routes and the Esplanade. The surrounding coastline, including the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, provides endless appeal for holidaymakers and repeat guests.
Beachcomber Guesthouse represents an outstanding chance to acquire a profitable, well‑reviewed and long‑established lifestyle business in a truly beautiful part of the world. With strong ratings across all major platforms, a loyal base of returning guests, flexible owner accommodation and an unbeatable position just steps from the beach, it is ideally suited to buyers seeking a rewarding coastal venture with proven income and further potential.
This is a turnkey opportunity, with any future bookings, all guesthouse furniture, linen, and white goods included!
