Kelston Guest House

Hello, we are Karen and Martin. We are both born and bred Weymouth people and therefore we believe that we can offer our guests unique experiences, only known by local people. We love our home town and welcome guest's in to our home to enjoy the local area. We opened our guest house in 2007, with 2 small children, now both wonderful adults. We enjoy coastal walking, all year round, sea swimming, beach combing, bird watching and enjoying the nearby natural landscape. Our eldest daughter is a keen gig rower and often spots dolphins and seals in the bay. Martin is very creative with finding driftwood, seaglass and shells from the beach and making them in to wonderful pieces of art. Weymouth beach is just seconds from our home, the art embraces where we live. For us to help our guests, we like to try local restaurants that we can recommend, as with paid for attractions. However, being local to Weymouth, we can recommend and suggest to our guests, many fantastic places to visit and locations to explore, for free.
