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!

We love this hotel as a family of five with children who need to be in our room still. The basement rooms are well maintained with bunk beds and an extra single bed along with a very large bed for the adults. Bathroom was small and slightly awkward but shower was hot and there were plenty of towels and aircon was an added bonus. Parking costs £15 a night. It's also dog friendly and a few moments from Durley Chine beach which allows dogs all year, and is the nicest beach. It is also an easy walk to restaurants in town. For a budget seaside break I would definitely recommend.

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 The hotel is a bit outdated but it was great for our stay as a family of 4 for a short break.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.
