Have had a lovely short break staying at hotel Staff were excellent and very helpful. Food both breakfast and evening meal was hot and even happy to cook us some poached eggs for breakfast which was appreciated. Bedroom was clean and tidy and enjoyed the air con in room. Hotel is tired and dated and could do with a refurb but happy to stay again which will do very soon. Thank you to all the hotel staff for making our stay enjoyable

Great location, very nice and helpful staff. The hotel is a bit outdated but it was great for our stay as a family of 4 for a short break. I would use it again. The common areas might benefit from a deep clean but the room was clean. Breakfast was quite basic but fresh. I would add non-diary milk options.

I wish I had read more detailed reviews before booking this hotel. In my opinion, it is a very simple hotel and does not justify the price. The only positive point is the beach access, with stairs leading directly to the beach. The hotel has a swimming pool and sauna, but the pool did not appear to be cleaned daily. There was visible hair and dirt floating on the surface. I got in, noticed it, and left immediately. The rooms are disappointing for a four-star hotel. There is no minibar or safe, and the room is very small, especially the bathroom. The shower area is tiny, the water takes a long time to get warm, and our shower door was broken, causing water to spread across the bathroom floor. Cleanliness was also an issue. There were visible spider webs on the ceiling and on the lamps above the bed. Breakfast is very basic and not worth the £16 per person. The options were limited to bread, cereals, eggs, and sausages, with very little variety. The biggest problem was parking. The hotel does not offer free parking, and the paid spaces are very limited. We spent around 40 minutes looking for a place to park and eventually had to leave the car elsewhere and walk about 12 minutes carrying heavy luggage and beach equipment. Overall, I would not stay here again and do not think the hotel offers value for the price charged.

Although on arrival the rooms were clean. They allocated one room in the loft and my friend who is 4ft 10 ins banged her head twice as the ceiling was very low. They did allocate another room. Rooms were very small. We did not want them to change the sheets or bath towels but they did not do the bed properly. Everything else was acceptable. Staff in reception were helpful. Wish the food was slightly cheaper, very expensive breakfast. A full english breakfast with fruits. Juices, cereals, assorted breads and croissants were 11 pounds per head in premier inn which was very enjoyable.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean. The hotel is very dated and needs a lot of maintenance. I'm not sure it quite meets the criteria for 4* because of this. The pool was really warm but it is very small. The steam room was out of order during our stay which is a shame, the sauna and pool were the only part that was well maintained. I didn't use the small gym. Our room needed a lot of work, the window frame was rotten and the glass was rattling around, the sealant around the bathroom was coming off and the bath panel starting to disintegrate at the bottom. The room was however, very clean with a comfortable bed.

Had a fantastic time at the Durley Dean Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the absolute highlight was having access to the excellent spa and gym facilities—perfect for relaxing after a long day. The staff were incredibly welcoming and the service was spot on from start to finish. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

After reading the reviews I wasn’t sure but to be fair it was great, staff were run off their feet and helped with any enquiries. Breakfast was great, pool was small but great to cool down after being on the beach all day! Out room was clean and spacious with everything we needed. Will definitely be back in the summer or even a winter break 😁
