The treatments was wonderful. Shame the beds are so narrow or iam so fat but even the smaller ladies in my party remarked on the width, but that did not stop all of us enjoying the massage.
The steam room and sauna was ok I was the only one in there which was nice. There was a dripping tap next to the steam room which could make the floor slippery but we did get slippers which helped.
The other thing was the robes was a tad snug so for us curvy ladies it would be nice to have bigger robes.
I could not get the showers to warm up which was a shame.

Lovely relaxing Spa and an hour treatment which made me feel refreshed for days.
Would highly recommend it, followed by a great lunch with Prosecco .

The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. The treatments were also excellent. I do have a couple of criticisms though. The robes were what I would call snug, I am a size 16 and my daughter a size 12 and we both struggled to get full coverage of our bodies. Also the changing rooms were very small. There were only 2 showers and we had to queue for a shower which took around 5 minutes to get hot (the staff are aware of this however no sign was up to advise clients). Bigger lockers are also needed. That said we had a lovely relaxing day with fabulous treatments and food and good customer service. ***Of note there are numerous steps to get to the spa area therefore not accessible friendly.

I had a facial and back massage which were very relaxing, the therapist talked me through each treatment which was helpful. The swimming pool was quite cold so we didn’t stay very long in it. Overall a great experience

Disappointing, Pool area very clean but small no loungers to relax, changing area only designed for 2 at time both my mum & I nearly got locked in the single toilet on offer as lock very stiff to open. Therapist who was also the receptionist was rude at first regards our manicure, I originally book this for a birthday present for mum and was told both of us could have nails done together on booking and on confirmation, however only one nail station so one at a time and by the time my mums nails were to be done she snapped at my mum while choosing colour reminding her treatment is only 25mins and only 15 min left and had to go back to reception. My mums nails smudged which she was not amused at have to amend. on returning to changing area my mums nail varnish had all smudged, she was upset wanted it removed.. we returned to receptionist who said she redo them but the whole process wasted another 1hr. which meant we were late for afternoon tea

The girls are wonderful, but the changing facilities & lockers are so small, no water to drink while waiting on sofas for treatments, shower didn’t work properly during my treatment.

On arrival was told parking was £10.00, paid cash. Told no robes waiting on delivery informed once arrived would be brought to us. Lead to changing facilities to family room!! Not told needed change for lockers. Thankfully we had them. Changed and went to pool. On arrival was quiet unfortunately quickly became extremely noisy families with teenagers splashing and playing games. Wanted to try steam room sign on door out of action, not informed this on arrival used sauna instead went back to pool, only stayed 5 minutes, too loud. Went to get robes as still not arrived, bar staff helped with this. Stayed in bar until massage time. Massage not asked if any smells or oils to avoid.
Afternoon tea not asked if any allergies or preference on fillings, all predominantly fish. Sandwiches were fresh, scones a little dry.
Not sure we will use Durley Dean again. Reception staff not really interested in our comments unfortunately. This was all a shame really as it was a birthday gift.

I booked what I thought was a gel manicure but was nail polish- no advice given after so went swimming after for the nail polish to smudge quite a bit sadly. The massage my friend had was good. Ensure you check if you are expecting a Jessica gel manicure though- mine was OPI (who also test on animals, which I was not aware of at the time)- would have been nice to have been informed prior to treatment.
Ensure you have a room key card before going down to the spa.

It was very relaxing and enjoyable we are thinking of booking another spa break in the future

Just an average Spa. The facilities are fine, but small and overcrowded. The main swimming pool was small and the opposite to relaxing. Children with no adults running, jumping around and splashing water. I was looking forward to this weekend and relaxed but it was not relaxing at all, in fact I ended up pretty stressed.
The best were the treatments. Good quality but the music was a bit too high volumen.
We received an amazing massage and the staff was highly professional.

The spa treatments and therapists were excellent but the spa was let down by not having a relaxation area to go to after treatments or whilst having a swim.

Could do with more then 2 loungers or maybe have none as some guests felt they had the right to reserve it all day. Informing people of the £10 parking fee would also be nice as we had 2 cars so found that quite shocking. Treatments were amazing afternoon tea was lovely and staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

The spa itself was very small. States a heated pool but infect it was freezing. The sauna was just a small room with a bench which wasn’t hot at all. Changing rooms were very cramped and no privacy. The treatments were lovely though

Had a spa day, only lacking a hot tub. Treatment was great, would recommend to anyone. Good value for money.

Pool so much smaller than it looks in pictures on the website. No 'plunge pool' (that we could find) but one is advertised. No loungers around the pool which is very odd for a spa where you're meant to be relaxing, just a couple of small benches. Tiny female changing room suitable for 2 people at most. Lunch and treatments were really good, however considering the disappointments of the other aspects I wouldn't return.

A good experience, could have done with a Jacuzzi

reception staff, helpful and bar staff. wasnt told of lockers needing £1 coin or that there was no hot tub. towels and robes were good quality, very small changing room, choice of sandwiches limited, but afternoon tea adequate in quantity and quality.

We had a great deal shame about the pool but the rooms looked like they had just been decorated and the staff very friendly.
The food was lovely but as the case for most hotels the bar drinks was expensive
Overall we would come again

Checking in was easy and the staff were so polite and friendly, asked if we wanted to make a dinner reservation. The room was lovely and clean and the beds were super comfy. Perfect walking distance into the centre of Bournemouth for a bit of shopping. The car park is small so we had to park a distance away on a side road and walk but it’s free and there’s plenty of streets to choose from. The restaurant staff were very polite and helpful too and the food was delicious, I would happily plan a return visit.

The rooms were a good size with TV, Tea & Coffee and a nice bathroom. The swimming pool was smaller than it looked but was ok, they could do with soft seating area in the pool area. Steam room and Sauna were both good. Dinner and breakfast were both very nice and the staff very helpful.

Stayed for a spa overnight break with a friend. Short-staff and room wasn’t ready (we were a bit early) so went for a snack at the bar- we waited nearly an hour for a cup of tea and scone! Was lovely when it arrived though. As the room wasn’t ready we went for our spa treatment but a sign told us to wait at the leisure centre (only a few steps away) but you need a keycard for entry- reception very helpful and provided a spare key for us. Food was good and the pool is lovely. The shower head in the room was cracked but the room was very spacious and the beds comfortable. I got a good night’s sleep. Glad I went for the experience and still managed to have a good time but would not recommend it for spa.

The hotel room was really good. But the staff was terrible, and our room was not ready until really late in the afternoon so we had to leave our stuff in lockers. The whole check in was very chaotic and inconvenient. I was worried all the time about my stuff during the treatments we bought and the stay in the spa.
The staff was rude and not communicative at all.
The fact that we had to pay for the parking was just crazy, not welcoming.

We had an upgrade to a superior double and the room was very comfortable and very clean. It was not a huge room but was perfect for what we needed.

Would definitely stay there again and recommend to friends and family

I had pre booked a twin bed but when given the room it was a double and in the basement
They gave us a choice of 2 other rooms which they had to make up to twin beds
The lift was poor, we had to use the stairs most of the time as there were so many other guests waiting
The room was clean
