    “Upside. Very good apartment.”

    Clean, well equipped, and nicely decorated. Close to the beach. Downside. So noisy around the whole location. We weren't familiar with Weymouth, so unaware of the problems we were to encounter. It meant poor sleep for us all, due to the constant racket outside from early morning until very late at night. One of our party left after 4 nights and caught the train home because of lack of sleep! The rest of us left a day earlier than the departure day as they couldn't stand it any more! Basically ...

One of our party left after 4 nights and caught the train home because of lack of sleep! The rest of us left a day earlier than the departure day as they couldn't stand it any more! Basically lovely apartment, awful location. Lift out of order to the apartments. Luckily, Betty's Buoy was only up on the first floor. Clients with mobility issues need to be aware though.

    Hi Sylvia, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re pleased to hear that you found the apartment clean, well equipped, nicely decorated and conveniently located close to the beach. We’re very sorry to hear that the noise in the surrounding area affected your stay and your sleep. We appreciate that Weymouth and the surrounding area may feel livelier than some guests expect, particularly during busy periods, and we’re sorry that this wasn’t a good fit for your group. We’re also sorry that the lift was out of order during your stay. Unfortunately, the lift is managed separately from the apartment, and this was outside our control, and has been removed as an amenity from the property listing until it is fixed as we understand that this may be important information for guests with mobility concerns. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that, despite enjoying the apartment itself, the overall location and surrounding noise impacted your holiday. Property Owner

The property

Betty’s Buoy sits right in the thick of Weymouth life, offering a bright and easy-going base for couples or small families who want the seaside on their doorstep.

It’s the sort of place where you can wander out for your morning coffee, smell the salt in the air, and know the beach is only a short stroll away.

Inside, the apartment brings everything together in an open-plan layout that keeps things relaxed.

The kitchen has all the kit you need for proper meals, whether you’re cooking something simple after a long day on the sand or settling in for a lazy breakfast before heading out.

The dining table sets you up for slow mornings and unhurried evenings, while the sitting area gives you a comfortable spot to unwind in front of the TV.

The two bedrooms, a double and a twin, are neatly presented and give everyone their own space to recharge.

A well-finished bathroom with a bath and shower-over keeps the routine straightforward, and with WiFi and handy appliances throughout, you won’t be left wanting for the basics.

Being in the centre of Weymouth means you’ve got what you need practically on your doorstep.

Shops, cafés, pubs, and the sandy stretch of Weymouth Beach are all within easy walking distance, making it simple to slip into holiday mode without touching the car.

For days out, Dorchester is easily reached by car and brings layers of history, museums, and Roman sites, while Bridport offers coastal walks, artsy markets, and that relaxed West Dorset charm.

Whether your plan is beach days, harbour-side strolls, or exploring more of the Jurassic Coast, Betty’s Buoy gives you a welcoming base in one of Dorset’s best-loved seaside towns.

It’s straightforward, well-placed, and ideal for anyone who wants the sea breeze to set the pace.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

The glorious golden sandy beaches have excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports, whilst from the picturesque, bustling harbour you can take regular fishing trips. A short drive takes you to Portland Harbour, and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, linked to Weymouth by the dramatic Chesil Beach. Visit Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s “Casterbridge”, only 7 miles away, or take a journey along the scenic coastal road and call in at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. Alternatively, just head down to West Bay - the views of the stunning Dorset Heritage Coastline are not to be missed!
