Recently refurbished in most areas of the hotel. However my double bedroom was the smallest I have every encountered and the bathroom was even smaller, so small in fact there was a tiny 'cloakroom' washbasin! Luckily my husband and I only stopped three nights as the bedroom wasn't big enough for the two of us. The double bed was below... More

Very limited parking. no iron in room, phone didn't work, mattress completely gone, floor boards creaky, very basic bathroom. Staff OK. Breakfast was ok. The sort of place you would only stay on a stag or hen. Very basic.

we arrived about 40 minutes early for check in and we were told to come back at two with out the offer to stay in the restaurant or lounge. The bed was made in two parts which were of uneven height. The bathroom door had no lock and would open without human intervention. floorboards creaked all over the building. if... More

Stayed for 2 nights for a birthday weekend. Had a room on the first floor which was nicely decorated and clean with a large bathroom. The bed wasn't that comfortable as the mattress was a bit saggy.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Durley Dean. My room was clean and comfortable and allowed for a good night's sleep. The food served was very good and filling. I only have 2 negatives with the hotel the first in many respects cannot be helped because of the age of the building and that is very squeaky floorboards throughout. Fortunately... More
