“Southville Guest House strikes me as a place run with genuine care, moments from Weymouth Beach. Breakfast emphasizes local ingredients, and that quality extends to the rooms themselves, with thoughtful touches like Freeview TV and hospitality trays. I think its appeal lies in offering a personal experience, a quiet base amid the bustle of Weymouth.”
