We have stayed many times at the Durley Dean Hotel as we know exactly where we are in relation to the beach, buses and restaurants. All of which are in close walking distance. The steam room is excellent and there is also a sauna and small indoor pool. Spa facilities are available. The decor is a bit tired but we are not too concerned about that as we are out most of the day. The food in the restaurant is very good and the staff are very friendly.

Nice but small pool, whilst it catered for a couple of people as soon as it became busy the pool area quickly became overcrowded. The restaurant used for breakfast was large with ample seating, although this made breakfast very busy and often had to wait for food items to arrive.

The hotel is ‘of its day’ in style and furniture but the warm welcome and helpfulness of staff made up for the slightly tired decor. Friendly Resturant staff and excellent tasty breakfast. All in all, with good transport links, near to beach and decent facilities it’s a great place to stay.

We stopped from 7th July to 11th July this year 2025. We had a lovely break in the Durley Dean, its clean and tidy and the staff are first class, very friendly. Ok its dated but its Victorian. The bus stops are 200 yards away from the hotel entrance in the direction of Bournemouth and the buses are frequent to lots of local towns and resorts. We were out every day going to somewhere. Swanage, Poole, Westbourne and Christchurch. We would go again. Thank you Durley Dean
