World's first ever sand hotel open for business at £10 a night

The world's first ever sand hotel has been made in Dorset and is accepting its first guests for £10 a night.

It took 1,000 tonnes of sand and a team of four sculptors working 14 hours a day for seven days to build the structure on Weymouth beach.

Guests can book to stay in the hotel, which includes beds made out of sand, until the rain washes it away.



The sand hotel offers a twin and double bedroom, while the roofless structure gives guests the chance to "star-gaze" at night.

But there are no toilet facilities and people were warned the sand "gets everywhere".

Mark Anderson, creator of the sand hotel, said: "The best thing is in the morning the tide laps through the door, what a great way to wake up."
