This modern budget hotel, located in a sprawling business park in Weymouth but a three-minute drive from the sea, gets high marks from guests for its clean, efficient rooms, on-site restaurant, and easy accessibility to the main highway. The chain property has few frills, but provides cheerful rooms for travelers more interested in the natural beauty of the English Channel coast than the four walls of a hotel room -- the upper floor rooms in the back have pleasant views of the sea. Room rates are low, and other money-saving perks include free stays for children 15 and under (who also eat free with a paying adult), plus free Wi-Fi and parking. Travelers seeking something more charming and who want to be closer to the sea, should consider the similarly priced B+B Weymouth.

The Premier Inn Weymouth Seafront is a 106-room budget hotel, a two-minute walk to Weymouth's Georgian seaside. Travelers considering the property should note it is not, as the name would imply, on the water. It is, however, very close to a resort town and family-friendly attractions like go-kart and sand sculpture parks. The rooms are clean, and modern and there's a large accessible room available. There is a pleasant, pub-like restaurant, and up to two kids 15-and-under stay free with a paying guest. For entertaining children on rainy days, there is an indoor ball pit and playscape. Guests seeking a stay in a similarly priced bed-and-breakfast in the area should consider the Langham Hotel, instead.

Located just a mile from the beach, two-and-a-half pearl Weymouth Bay Holiday Park -- run by the Haven chain -- has plenty of green space, a choice of accommodation between caravans (trailers) or chalets, and loads of family-friendly activities. The decor and grounds are a bit dated and run-down, and dining options are limited to one restaurant and a takeaway pizza shop, but there are two good swimming pools, a lazy river, and a beach within walking distance. The picturesque town of Weymouth is just a short drive away, too. Guests are welcome to use the facility and the nearby Seaview Holiday Park, as well. For a budget-friendly family vacation, this holiday park ticks a lot of boxes. For those with more to spend, check rates at Rockley Park Holiday Park, which has beach access and nicer pools.

The Seaview Holiday Park is a relatively small, family-friendly camp site and trailer park located a 10 minutes' drive from Weymouth on Dorset's south coast. Being perched on a hill, it has some lovely views of the surrounding countryside, though without direct access to the beach. There's a wide selection of accommodations and plenty of kid-friendly activities (including an indoor pool, outdoor pool, and playground), though some budget trailers are in need of updates, as are some of the facilities. Overall, for a inexpensive family vacation, this holiday park is certainly worth considering, though -- to avoid disappointment -- try to steer clear of the cheapest option.

The Littlesea Holiday Park, located on the seaside outside Weymouth, is owned by the large Haven group and offers a range of caravans (trailers) to suit families of varying sizes and budgets, in addition to campsites and the newer Safari Tents. A new pool was added in 2015 as part of a refurbishment, but the condition of the caravans can be rather hit and miss; while all are spacious and perfect for families with their full kitchens, some are spotless and others could use a good clean and some extra maintenance. The three-pearl park has a fair range of activities to keep families amused -- as well as three restaurants and a convenience store -- but there’s not quite as much going on here as at other sites. It’s a short drive into Weymouth town though, and there’s also a beach within walking distance.

Built in the 1930s with a hard-to-miss Art Deco facade, the beachfront Riviera Hotel is either tired and dated or quirky and charming, depending on who you ask -- though all guests seem to agree it could use a little TLC. While the Riviera is by no means a luxury resort, this 98-room budget hotel has a lot to offer guests who don’t mind the wear and tear. The Riviera’s best asset is unquestionably its astounding beachfront location right along Weymouth Bay, but it also has pleasant on-site facilities, including an indoor pool and an outdoor heated pool. Guests agree the rooms aren't a draw, as they're small and generic with basic amenities, but sea-facing room have spectacular views of the beach. For a more contemporary hotel still in walking distance to the water, try the Premier Inn Weymouth Seafront Hotel, less than two miles away from the Riviera.
