The Durley Dean Hotel

We had our wedding reception here a few days ago - honestly don't have a bad word to say. Kate was absolutely amazing from the first time we met her right up to the day, always on hand for any help we needed, even when she was really poorly, she was one in a million. And she did an absolutely amazing job decorating the room for us. It was breath taking. The food was incredible, staff were so adaptable and approachable, nothing was too much for them. All our guests had the best time there. Honestly a breathtaking, amazing day. At the end of the day we had way too much energy to go to bed, Kris & Arthur were absolutely amazing. They were so easy to chat too while clearing up and were incredibly helpful. Amazing guys. Kate, Arthur & Kris, you are all amazing assets to the hotel, you all really made it all that much better. Thank you for such an unforgettable day. Will be back each year for our anniversary!

We got married here just over 2 years ago and have stayed in touch with the amazing team since. Following some ill health recently I was contacted and we were offered a complimentary afternoon tea to celebrate our anniversary and wish me well. We cannot praise this hotel and the staff enough! Always welcoming and nothing is too much trouble! Thank you to everyone xx

My husband and I had our wedding 27th sept. Fantastic day, very helpful/friendly staff that made the day run smoothly. Excellent food at the wedding breakfast. Could of had a card machine in the bar down stairs but other than that it was brilliant, never going to forget it. Would definitely recommend having a wedding at The Durley Dean.

My daughter had her wedding reception at this hotel, The staff, in particular, Kate the wedding organiser, was lovely, very professional and helpful. We organised champagne and canopies on arrival, I was very impressed as I thought there would be a limit but they kept bringing out more canopies. Then we had the evening reception with a buffet, which was absolutely marvellous, There are several choices, but you can mix and match to suit. They organised the DJ for us. We made several trips to the hotel to ask about the table arrangements. At the last minute we asked if we could use the upper floor room for when the guests arrived as we felt we wanted to split the day. This was easily accepted by Kate. Also there was an outdoor balcony for the smokers, All in all it was a perfect day, I would thoroughly recommend Durley Dean. My daughter did not get married there but you can get married there if you want to,

Had a great weekend at The Durley Dean 26-28 September for a family wedding. - Friendly welcome and easy check in - Room was lovely with a super comfy bed - Great location: cliff tops and steps (or lift) to beach at the end of the road (5 min walk) - Breakfast, very tasty selection plus they would also cook food to order for you - Wedding was perfect (a lovely relaxed atmosphere) and the Wedding breakfast was delicious and well cooked. - Staff everywhere in the hotel were friendly and polite. Would we choose this hotel again - certainly
