Lorton House - a special place to stay with friends & family

15/08/2024

70 years ago today Lorton House became part of our family. We’re so incredibly lucky to have been able to enjoy so many special family Christmases, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and get togethers at this very special place and love seeing other families enjoying at much as we do!

The amazing Catch at The Old Fish Market featured again as one of the best eateries. It really is must during your time in Weymouth if you’re a seafood lover! They’re often fully booked but you can always grab a bite of their amazing food from Hatch on the Harbour which is right on the harbour below the main restaurant 🎣

So pleased to be included in the food magazine round up of the UK's 10 best spots for coastal dining.
We've said it once, we'll say it again, we're so proud of our harbourside location and the community around us. We're always honoured to share Weymouth far and wide.

In deference to the history of the house, the strips of cardboard by the servants’ stairs have been left in place as a reminder of the actions taken to help prevent glass shattering as WW2 bombs were dropped in the area.

On International Tea Day we’re delighted to highlight a local business Dorset Tea who have been blending teas for nearly 100 years. The really good news?….we always provide a box in our welcome hampers 😁

Love fresh fish? Hatch on the Harbour is a superb place to grab a quick bite and watch the world go by! It’s in the old fish market on the harbour so you can grab a bigger bite for later!

Perfect weekend for an ice cream 🍦 on the beach 😁. It took forever to decide which flavour though but Weymouth’s Baboo Gelato rum & raisin certainly hit the spot 😋

Wonderful comments from our Bank Holiday guests!

"We have just returned from a weekend break at Lorton House for a family gathering . It is absolutely beautiful and so spacious . The bedrooms are fabulous and the views from the house are stunning . Everything you could need is provided and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch . You really have to see this house and grounds to appreciate it. As the house is so big there is plenty of room to relax and enjoy the lounges . The kitchen is huge and plenty of equipment to use to cook . The children in our group had a brilliant time exploring and absolutely had the best time ever !"

Wishing the happy couple a wonderful future together! 💕xx

A stunning picture of our local
coastline 🌊 💕

It was bright and very windy this afternoon at the Heights on Portland but even though it was a challenge to hold a camera still in the wind you just can’t let a view like this get away no matter how many times you’ve seen it before 🌊 💨 ☀️

Inspired by the British Countryside and eco friendly, we thought Bramley shampoo, conditioner and body lotion was the perfect choice for our guests to have a little indulgence! AND they smell amazing 🥰!

Over the moon to have had our first wedding at Lorton House this weekend! Huge congratulations to the utterly gorgeous J&L, our happy couple 💕!

Fantastic to see such an amazing review of one of our local restaurants!

‘Mike’s cooking is unquestionably Michelin one star, heading towards one and a half, lacking only the breadth of choice and extra flimflam the tyre-floggers crave’

08/03/2024

Oooh this is the kind of delivery I like 😁. Fabulous local wine & fizz 🥂 from Furleigh Estate . Sadly not for us to quaff over the weekend but for an utterly gorgeous couple who are tying the knot imminently here at Lorton House 🥰

It really is fabulous stuff, why not take a tour of the vineyard during your stay? You even get to do some tasting 😁.
