The room was perfect for what we needed. The staff were friendly, polite and very helpful. The hotel itself is a little tired, but clean and well presented. The location is AMAZING with a short walk to a lifeguard maintained beach. Very happy with our stay

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!

Needs major improvements in several areas, especially considering it’s rated as a 4 star. When reality would disagree, It’s not a 4 star at all.

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 The hotel is a bit outdated but it was great for our stay as a family of 4 for a short break.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