Weymouth is an attractive seaside town, with a long flat seafront, attractive promenade, and a beautiful sandy beach. The town has an old quarter with narrow streets and little shops and there is also the original 17th centuary harbour, bustling with a myriad of craft, from fishing boats to tall ships.

The Prince regent Hotel is well positioned on the Esplinade at Weymouth facing directly out to sea. It is an elegant, three-star Best Western hotel with an attractive entrance foyer, comfortable lounges and bars, and a pleasant restaurant. There is also a ballroom where there will be two nights of musical entertainment. Our bedrooms are most attractively furnished and are all well equipped with private bathroom, colour television, telephone and tea and coffee making facilities. There is a passenger lift to the rooms.

The coast and countryside in this area of Dorset is breathtakingly beautiful with its rolling hills, pretty unspoilt villages and glorious sea views, and we have some lovely excursions planned for the holiday. One of our visits will be to the medieval thatched cottage village of Abbotsbury, where we shall be visiting the historic swannery famous for its mute swans, and having a relaxing lunch at the beautiful Sub-Tropical Gardens. Another day we shall be taking a scenic drive through the delightful villages of Winterbourne Steepleton, Winterbourne Martin and Winterbourne Monkton, and visiting a pretty water garden with an ancient wishing well.
