“We have been visiting Kelston Guest House 19 years, about 3 times a year. Karen and Martin are perfect hosts. Situated within metres of the beach in Weymouth, in a quiet street, the guest house is spotlessly clean and the rooms are tasteful decorated, We recommend that you choose the breakfast. Very tasty indeed. With cereals, fresh fruit, yogurts, a full English breakfast and toast. Drinks are fresh fruit juice, fresh coffee, tea and water, We simply would not stay anywhere else. Thank you Karen and Martin for everything xxx”

“We had a great stay at Kelston Guest House over the weekend. Location was great and a close walk to everything. Room was clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious. And included parking permit although offsite was a nice gesture. No problems with noise either inside or from the road. Karen was very helpful with everything and even made recommendations for food which we tried and found out to be quite amazing.”

“We had a lovely stay at the Kelston Guest House and were made to feel very welcome. The decor is amazing and spotlessly clean. Our bed was comfortable and the shower in the en-suite was lovely! Breakfast was delicious with a good choice, nothing seemed too much trouble. Karen gave us recommendations on where to eat and an event that we wouldn't have known about and we're so glad that we didn't miss it! We will definitely visit again and would highly recommend.”

“What a beautiful place to stay! The whole environment is welcoming, full of pretty details, clean and tidy. The room and bathroom were super clean and well decorated, with everything you could need. Located few steps away from both the sea side and the train station. Special mention to the host, a lovely lady who has been very welcoming and caring. Excellent breakfast.”

“Fantastic guest house that feels like more a boutique hotel. Decorated in a very cozy, homely style featuring many original items made by the owner which adds a personal touch. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners, Karen & Martin. Lots of breakfast options. A fantastic alternative to the many rental options and your supporting a great local business.”
