Marden guest house

Friendly helpfull owner amazing standard of beds and fantastic breakfast

Having to leave

Our room was on the third floor only accessed by stairs (the last flight were quite steep) so wouldn't suit those with mobility issues. We're in our 70s so would've preferred a lower floor, but there wasn't availability for that & we nanaged ok. The room wasn't large, but had a single bed plus a "queen" sized one as well & both beds were very comfortable & it was really quiet. Our stay was during the weekend of Storm Amy, which was very blustery, but luckily, not too cold, so our room temperature was OK, but as the larger bed was pushed up hard to the radiator under the window, I'm not sure if the bed could be moved away from it to let the radiator warm up the room if required? There's a double wardrobe & quite a few drawers in the room, but no chairs. The breakfast was perfect! We had to order the full cooked English breakfast the night before, with a good choice, including vegan & cereals, OJ, fresh fruit, toast & jams & tea & coffee were also available. The lovely landlady, Jan, was very welcoming & helpful. There's limited parking at the rear of the property which isn't easiy found with many of the guest housed. & it's an easy walk to the centre of the harbour areas, which has a good selection of places to eat & drink, with quite a few independent shops mixed with some larger national names. We'll definitely be returning to Weymouth next year as there's so much to see & do there, in the town & within a few miles outside it. We attended the fantastic, annual, Pirates Festival Weekend that runs from the first Friday - Sunday of October, which is great fun for all ages, with a parade of hundreds of Pirates around the precincted streets, with drums & pipes as they go & lots of live music everywhere, including on a "Pirates' Ship"!

No extractor fan in the shower room, but a can of air freshener was discretely left on the shelf, as well as some shower toiletries.

All good

Parking limited

The bed was so comfortable Breakfast was excellent

Jan provided an exceptional breakfast with a choice of cereals, porridge, cooked breakfast, eggs cooked to your liking or sandwiches of bacon and sausage. Unlimited tea / coffee and toast. All served piping hot

Nothing

Breakfast was amazing - delicious, great choice of food. Excellent. Thank you. Location - easy safe walk into town, harbour, church and beach. Very kind, helpful, lovely host. Very much appreciated.

Everything was great. One recommendation would be to please have a chair in the room.
