Very friendly receptionist, a lovely welcome. Booked fairly last minute, arrived and had to park 5 to 10 minutes away. Car park tiny! Room was on th top floor, you can tell what's been refurbished by the crappy carpeting the higher up you go. Room was dated, scruffy and no good for those of us who are nearly 6ft tall!... More

Good location, some road noise as close to a traffic roundabout but no problem unless you are a very light sleeper. Single rooms on the small size but adequate (comfortable bed, flat screen tv, en-suite bathroom). Breakfast all self service which I like so no hanging around trying to attract the attention of a waiter/watress. Very good location for beach... More

I held a party at the Durley Dean last weekend. The function room (The Kennedy Suite) was super spacious, modern, bright and best of all it was private. It contains its own bar, spacious dance floor, toilets and there's a side room complete with flatscreen TV where the children could go and play, chill out or just watch TV -... More

The hotel is in the process of being upgraded and the new style rooms are OK and comfortable, but I wouldn't spend more than £50 on one. The staff are friendly and helpful, but I would avoid the dinning room, it is not cheap and the food is not great. There is a reason it is often empty. Overall I... More

My wife and my self-stayed at Durley Dean Hotel I found the staff good and helpful, the room I must admit, was small and the bathroom tiny. The breakfast was good and plenty full. Not a bad hotel for the price. I personally would return but not in the same room. More
