Why We Love It
Maritime Hotel is on the blissfully secluded but easily reached Isle of Portland, 20 minutes' drive from Weymouth
The hotel was a former Admirality Underwater Weapon Establishment -- a naval building where defence weapons were developed and tested
Weymouth, and has panoramic views of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Portland Bill Lighthouse, for views of the jagged cliffs and English Channel, is 10 minutes' walk from the hotel
Chesil Beach, an 18-mile stretch of shingle beach, is 10 minutes' drive from the hotel

We stayed there last year, yes nice clean hotel inside,from the outside looks completely different as it's an old MOD building.( which attracted us to it) Hotel not an issue as lovely to walk to Portland lighthouse. My issue was that if you don't like or are scared of dogs or have small children it can be a bit intimidating as the owners have 2 huge free roaming dogs inside the hotel/bar restaurant area which approach you. Personally you should have the option to approach the dogs and not the other way. We took our medium sized dog with us and he was scared of them and his not normally like that lucky we was only there for one night. Lastly all the huge dog feaces on the roundabout outside the hotel wasn't very pleasant to view.
