Durley Dean, hotel in Bournemouth

This Victorian townhouse offers bright, modern air conditioning rooms, located just 5 minutes’ walk from Bournemouth’s award-winning beach.

The family I travelled with were adults. They had a separate room. I asked on arrival for a room with a stand up shower rather than/or in addition to a bathtub. (I'd like that to be a filter on your booking format). The only room the could give me was a "family room" which was large and included a set of bunk beds we did not need. The mattress on our bed could be improved upon. The bathroom was nice but small. There was an elevator but it was very slow and tiny. The carpet went half way up the walls of the elevator and we did not feel it was very clean. The young lady on the front desk when we arrived and was on again during our stay was without any welcoming personality. Just stated what we needed to pay for breakfast and parking. My family members had a room with a tub in the bathroom. It was spacious and comfortable. They used the pool and gym which they said was very nice. We did not use any spa services. The breakfast buffet was good and the dining room staff very nice, friendly and accommodating. We had dinner there one night and it was good. The bar had a lovely big coffee machine but apparently the bar tender couldn't work it as I was told a decaff latte was possible and then it wasn't because he didn't know how. I feel for the price, the breakfast should be included and also the parking. It adds a lot to the cost especially when renting two rooms. Locationwise it's easy to get to but there are no shops or coffee shops/bakeries etc near the hotel. There was a bus tour staying at the hotel when we were there. They seemed to be well looked after. However, later in the season this could possibly make the hotel very busy. There were relatively few other guests when we were there so we had no trouble parking etc. The parking is at the back and the only way in is the front door with steps so if carrying luggage is an issue might not work well for some people.

FAQs about hotels in Bournemouth







Sea Air and Savoir-Faire

Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.

The town is centered on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road heads east to neighboring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.

Booking.com also has hotels near the BIC (Bournemouth International Center) in the West Cliff area. This convention center and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon with far-reaching views.

At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Nearby, there's a Grade I registered historic church, and St. Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of "Frankenstein."

On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Center, is Bournemouth Airport.

    Great beaches for kids, has a little fun fair on the pier. Most things are within walking distance. We ate at Harry Ramsdens, fish and chips is a must at the seaside. Car parking can be a challenge, book a hotel with a carpark.

    Bournemouth is a very nice town with beautiful sandy beaches. There is plenty of choices for lunch and dinner. It is a bit out-of-date and looks like its glory days are gone though, as there were many closed shops at the city centre and the feeling was it looked a bit sad and abandoned.

    This is a very nice boutique hotel with great views, within walking distance to the city center. The staff is wonderful and they resolved our little crisis before departure, and even gave us a ride to the train station to make sure we do not miss our train that was connected to an international flight. Wonderful people in a gorgeous town. Ventana restaurant has great food and a nice atmosphere. Bournemouth is a pleasant, lively English riviera with cafes, parks and live music, and we had a great stay at Cumberland.

    The apartment was perfect for my elderly parents and myself, and excellent value compared to a hotel. Although situated on the 2nd floor there is a lift which was ideal. Communication from our host, Andrew, was brilliant and very helpful especially for check in. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean. Location was great, being so close to the beach and the centre of Bournemouth and it was so convenient having our own parking space. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you Andrew.

    This hotel is very handy for shops, eateries, parks and beach and is very accessible by car being close to main roads. Paid parking is available too in a secure carpark. Staff were always very helpful and cheerful, which was good as I had my adult autistic grandchild in tow and any negativity is picked up. Staff were very helpful too finding us a quiet corner for breakfast. So a lovely overnight stay for us both. It is good they have a jacuzzi and small swimming pool

Opposite shopping and cinema and a short walk to the beach and pier. Stayed at few places in Bournemouth as visit my daughter and I would certainly stay here again. Unfortunately all hotels are expensive around the area but this was one of the cheaper options but certainly didn’t feel I was in a cheap hotel.

    Closure of the Heathlands Hotel resulted in us being transferred to The Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth. In view of our late rearrangements we were fortunate to get an upgrading to a fantastic room which overlooked the pier. Our stay was excellent in all respects so consequently have great pleasure in giving the hotel and staff a 5* rating. Bryan and Lynn Pickett.

    Great location in town centre, you’ll be just steps away from the square, beach, restaurants, cinema. I think the hotel is best suited for guests coming to Bournemouth to party. There is a nice cocktail bar and night club in the premises and it can get pretty loud (of which I was warned about beforehand). Personally I wasn’t too bothered by the noise.
