Just along the scenic coastline is the Waterside Holiday Park at Bowleaze Cove, not only does it sit on the shoreline, its a 5* resort recently honoured at Hoseasons Holidays’ gala dinner, winning the Leisurely and Lively category award for the best holiday park in the South of England.
Now you’ve got your accommodation sorted, it’s time to get something to eat in one of Weymouth’s many fantastic restaurants. Bennett’s Fish and Chips on the harbourside came sixth on the list of the nation’s favourites compiled by the Times and Sunday Times – a must visit for locals and visitors. Adding to Weymouth’s culinary prestige, Catch at The Old Fish Market has been hailed by renowned food critic Giles Coren as the best restaurant in the world. With its dedication to fresh, locally sourced seafood and innovative dishes, Catch exemplifies the culinary excellence that defines Weymouth’s dining scene.
The accolades don’t stop there. Weymouth’s historic Nothe Fort has been named England’s Small Visitor Attraction of the Year, highlighting its rich history and unique visitor experience.
