The Durley Dean Hotel

The Durley Dean Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Car park is a little small and we had trouble getting out of the carpark when we left as there was cars double parked in bothsides of the road and over hanging over the exit but this wasn't the hotels fault, We had room 222 which had a double bed, bunk bed, Aircon and a ensuite bathroom with a bath/shower combination. Bath appears to have some sort of damage to the enamel near the plug hole but it didn't affect my shower that I had? Beds and bed sheets were clean and beds were very comfortable, Breakfast was great, I liked that we could go for 2nds and that we could choose what we wanted. There was freshly baked breads and fruit and yoghurt, cooked breakfast and cereals, lots to choose from! Hotel is situated near the seaside and is on the quieter side, it has many, many steps to go down (117) and is very steep and I would imagine someone who suffers with heights would think this is an issue. About 600yards Futher down the beach (near the pier) there is a lift that can take you down. But we never tried this so I'm not sure if there is a price to go down and up? It was quite a interesting lift it ran on rails like a train track and looked almost like a really small house"
