The hosts treat you more like family than a visitor, they are very helpful, warm and friendly. They also have an excellent knowledge of the local and wider area and are very happy to assist in every way. I don't think I've stayed anywhere this spotless in my life, it's a well looked-after hotel.

Karen and Richard were excellent hosts! Producing an amazing breakfast and absolutely spotlessly clean accommodation. Room came with a very good fan which was needed given the warm temps and Molton Brown soap and shower gel. Very quiet location but close to the beach and amusements. Would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

Family atmosphere, wonderful hosts, room clean and very well equipped, breakfast cooked to perfection. Stayed in a lot of hotels and this one is up there with the best. Could not have been made to feel more welcome. Karen and Richard are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. Quality and attention to detail on every aspect of the stay. Thank you so much for making our trip to Weymouth so special.

Great little break

I was fortunate enough to spend three days at The Clarence recently. It was a perfect location for what I needed close to pretty much everything. The hotel itself was clean and tidy and welcoming Karen and Richard made me welcome and were very accommodating. All in all a great few days. I will certainly return in the future. My thanks to Karen and Richard

Another very enjoyable stay at the Clarence. I wouldn't use any other B&B/hotel in Weymouth if I can help it, even going so far as to change my visit dates to get in here! The proprietors, Karen and Richard, offer the perfect mix of friendly service and discreet non-interference, all underpinned by excellent standards. The quality in the little things - e.g. toiletries in the rooms and preserves on the breakfast table - add to the joy of each stay, plus the location is unbeatable. Hence, great value for money. My review might sound wildly over the top, but it is hard not to be enthusiastic about this place once you've stayed, as you will hopefully discover for yourself.

True Hospitality

We were warmly greeted by Karen who was very friendly and welcoming. We received a kind upgrade and had a spacious, spotlessly clean room with a view to the sea. There was fabulous coffee in the room and complimentary chilled water. We received a parking permit which we could use in the designated zone though local car parks were reasonably priced and free overnight. We enjoyed a great choice of fresh fruits and yogurt whilst our hot breakfasts were freshly cooked to order. Great quality bacon and plenty of it. We were spoilt by the attention to detail and kind thoughts. We had wine glasses provided to our room without requesting them when it was clear we’d brought a bottle with us which has never happened in any other hotel we’ve visited. Weymouth was a lovely traditional seaside resort with plenty to do and we also took the chance to visit Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove nearby. We had a great couple of nights and would not hesitate to recommend The Clarence. True hospitality and exceptional hosts. Thank you both. Nicola & Matt

Superb stay at The Clarence

A superb stay at The Clarence in Weymouth. The welcome and hospitality from the hosts, the standard and comfort of the room and quality of the breakfast was outstanding. This was my first but definitely not the last of my stays here. Thank you Karen and Richard.

Single women review - I stayed in the single room for 2 nights. It was very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of plug sockets for charging & straighteners etc, hangers and dressing table. The Clarence is exceptionally well-maintained. Immaculate infact. I normally stay in big hotels, and they could learn a thing or two from The Clarence. Everything was sparkling and a real credit to the owners. The room had a coffee machine but no kettle. I did have to Google how to get hot water out of it. I would have preferred a kettle because I like boiling hot tea. I could have asked, but didn’t want to bother anyone. Next time, I would take a kettle or ask for one - especially if you like boiling water on your tea bag. There was a mini fridge with bottled water and milk provided. I was very grateful for that. Exceptionally conveniently located near the beach and shops. I was given a parking permit and got a slot for my car, right outside the front door. I had a wonderful time, was exceptionally well looked after, ate wonderfully cooked and presented breakfasts with plenty of the freshest fruit to choose from. A marvellous choice for me - I was thrilled with The Clarence and felt very warmly looked after - I would absolutely recommend for someone who normally opts for a hotel - because this was like a mini hotel, but with the comfort of staying with relatives. 5stars!

Top notch på vår rundresa

Vi var på en rundresa och detta visade sig vara kronan på verket av våra hotell. Så fint och bra på alla sätt. Läget var perfekt, rummen bra, frukosten utmärkt och så värdparet - kunde inte vara trevligare.
