The rooms could really benefit from some decent double glazing to cut out the traffic noise from the busy road and could you actually get some sleep. The menu could be much improved as all that was on offer was junk food.

Great stop over for the night. Good value and breakfast included. Rooms are small but had everything you needed. Aa its on a main road, you can hear the road traffic but they leave little courtesy packs in the rooms that contain ear plugs and eye mask :)

Firstly when i went to check in i felt i was waiting around for a while rather than someone seeing me, the room itself was noisy with the outside elements coming through the window, in fairness i think the windows need replacing. Staff called time at the bar around 21:45, at around just after 22:00 2 customers were served at the bar even though the other colleagues in the bar including me saying the bar was closed, there needs to be more consistency with what's allowed and not. I also work in a pub it's important to keep customers happy.

We enjoyed our stay at The Spice Ship. It was in a really good location for us and it had parking. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was great and the Sunday roast was the best meal we had had on our 3 week holiday in England! Would stay there again if we are ever back in Weymouth.

We have eaten a few times before ,first time staying and couldn’t fault service , room facilities and price . Only reason why I gave 3 * for comfort is queen beds are too small for a couple in my opinion . Will use again but ask for the room I was recommended this morning. Elana is a great host from greeting in the restaurant or checking us in …. Other staff are lovely but Elana does stand out , great asset to you .

Short stay near Weymouth

Lovely staff, excellent pub below for a slightly longer stay. We had Portland which was a great size but very warm upstairs. Our room was a dog friendly room, which caused a few allergic reactions, I would say the carpets need a regular deep clean. Otherwise very good order would stay again maybe in another room

A cracking little room with everything you'd need. Great shower area, fab bed, good parking, Booked a meal and that was fab, too. Lovely friendly staff, absolute 5 star. Just a smidgeon off 5 stars, as the room was really hot. The thoughtfully supplied fan helped, but a small thing in a lovely stay. Well done all.
