The Durley Dean Hotel

The Durley Dean Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff on reception desk were very helpful and made sure we had no problems accessing our room , as my wife has just had knee surgery. The pool area needed some maintenance and the hotel in general needs attention. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and the English breakfast was fresh and hot. The bar area was lovely and clean. Staff were very polite and prices were reasonable. We didn’t eat in the bar but the food that other people ordered looked tasty."
