Stayed recently at the Durley Dean hotel and my partner and I couldnt have asked for a better break away. We arrived earlier than expected, and before check-in, but it was no problem for reception. After a quick phonecall we were informed that the room would be ready within the hour but we were more than welcome to leave our... more

We just wanted a base for an evening down in Bournemouth, didn't get down there until 7pm and went straight out after getting ready and didn't use any of the facilities apart from the room and reception... We paid £45 for a double room - nicely refurbished and although the room was tiny, the bed and duvet really comfortable and... more

stayed in feb 2010, choose to stay in a refurbished room, due to reading previous reviews and found hotel to be great quality for a good price. Location is ideal, only short walk into main town centre, but right on sea front, onsite parking, staff really pleasant, rooms clean, and more importantly a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was nice with... more

We stayed at The Durely Dean back in November, special rate from late rooms of £30. Absolute bargain....Huge room, well decorated, good shower. We didn't eat or have breakfast so can't comment but the receptionist who checked us in was very helpful. All in all a great pleasant surprise. more

At one point I felt very uncomfortable and frightened when there was swearing and shouting outside my room by groups of extremely drunk lads. When I called reception they laughed and shrugged it off as if it was normal Saturday night behaviour. It... more

I booked our stay through lastminute.com in early December for our stay on New Year's Eve. The website described the hotel as having been completely refurbished, but I was concerned having read terrible reviews here on TA. I checked the hotels own website and was pleasantly surprised by the photos. If only I had been more cautious! It turned out... more

After reading some of the reviews, we arrived at the Durley Dean for a one night stay with some trepidation. We needn't have worried - the staff were helpful and friendly, the room was gigantic, comfortable and clean and we were only short of a plug for the wash-basin. We had a slight hiccup in the morning with breakfast when... more

We held our xmas party at the Durley Dean this year and had such a fanatstic time. Food and service were great and there was a lovely christmas atmosphere at the hotel. Michelle made orgainising the party easy and took care of all the details. Special mention to Ben and his team. Lovely bedroom and a great breakfast to start... more
