Lantana Guest House

Weymouth

The Lantana is a Grade II-listed Georgian building situated on Weymouth's Seafront Esplanade. All rooms overlook Weymouth beach or Weymouth's Historic Old Harbour.

Each room features en-suite shower rooms, a flat-screen TV, and tea/coffee making facilities. We had a wonderful stay with Sandra and John in July. They made us feel very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was fantastic, we also enjoyed the conversations with other guests who return to Lantana regularly. We loved our room which overlooked the estuary with plenty of activity and had everything we needed. We highly recommend Lantana and would stay here next time we're in UK.
