We had out worka Christmas do here. The food was good, the entertainment qas okay bar prices were okay for a hotel. Cost of the joiner party was good. Very strange that as 12 of our 29 had decided not to risk covid in the week up to Christmas they would not let us swap out of the meals ordered for a drinks package but served the food the 12 had ordered to a fully laid empty table. Seemed a waste of food to me
Although that meant I had three starters and three Christmas dinners and two puds so shouldn't grumble really.

Stayed here on a coach trip in November. Rooms were clean, food acceptable. Location within easy walk of beach and coastal path. Fifteen minute walk into Bournemouth. Enjoyed the stay there. Would stay again.

Really enjoyed our 2night stay at this hotel. The staff are great & the Spa, our room was super clean & contemporary & easily accessible. Our heating rads were not working properly, but once reported this was resolved with a new room & we were happy. Very helpful & friendly staff. Additionally, breakfast was tasty & we loved
the fact we were 2mins walk from the stunning beach
We will definitely be back.
Wishing all the syaff& Durley Dean a safe & warm Christmas & New Year!!

Our daughter gave us a voucher we paid extra 100 to have on account for breakfast and dinner. On last day we were told we could not sit down until paid 25.00 for our breakfast which was a shock as we had been in for meals 5 times at this point. There was lack of communication from reception to restaurant. Room was comfortable clean. In bathroom a step up to shower and no arm to put shower lower which caused me problems. I cannot hold onto both. My husband hit his head on cabinet handle which cut his head as too close to taps. But as disabled person steps up to room, which was cold, and had to walk

We've stayed here several times. Always get a lovely spacious room but this stay was even better. Shower was amazing! The breakfast is always delicious with no complaints at all!

Just came back from a two night stay our children treated us to for Xmas 2019. Finally managed to get booked after all the delays of 2020. We had a standard room which was so spacious and clean. Staff are so friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you arrive. We had breakfast and evening meals which were included and were fist class. We would certainly return and cannot recommend highly enough.
