Welcome to The Wadham! We’re Ian and Tracie, and we took over this charming guesthouse in June 2021 to fulfil our dream of living by the coast. Before this, Ian ran a successful kitchen and bathroom company for 20 years, and Tracie owned a nail salon for 30 years. Our passion for history makes Weymouth the perfect place for us, as it’s rich with stories and stunning architecture. Our building, over 250 years old, is a gem in this beautiful town. We adore walking around the harbour and feel truly blessed to call this place home. While Tracie braves the cold water for swimming and paddle boarding, Ian prefers to stay warm onshore. Our love for 40's and 50's music is reflected in our jukebox, and we enjoy a good jive when we have the energy. Living and working in such a stunning part of the world has been a joy, and we invite you to join us and experience the delights and diversity Weymouth has to offer. After a day of exploring, relax and unwind at The Wadham, your home away from home. We’ve been here for four wonderful seasons, and we still love every moment of it. Come and share in our passion for this beautiful place! Ian & Tracie
