Premier Inn - accommodation in Blandford Forum

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The entrance and restaurant area looked newly done was very nice along with nice continental breakfast. As you go up the stairs you notice it is in need of an update with scuffs on the wall, old carpet etc. We stayed in family room which overall was clean but the carpet was covered in stains - looked like from makeup, drinks etc. made the carpet look dirty. Bathroom was slightly mouldy, bath mat for inside was mouldy so couldn’t use for children. Above the beds ceiling feeling away slightly possibly from damp. Have to pay for parking, we parked in multi story car park and got it for £6 per 24 hours just have to mention it at reception before you leave. Overall the hotel was absolutely fine for our one night stay, great location. Just need a bit of an update but overall fine and clean.

Our room was quite small and so was the ensuite. The bed was very high up! It was comfortable enough, but there was only one pillow per person. Towels in ensuite quite thin. Really lovely and quiet, even though we kept our window open. Breakfast was okay, not much choice for vegetarians. Location of hotel is great. Walk down passed the hotel car park and you are on the path overlooking the sea in minutes. The Durley Dean is a beautiful building. The inside is reminiscent of traditional hotels of day's gone by. All perfectly adequate for a holiday by the sea.

Hotels can always be a little noisy but when You allocate famalies with small children.in the rooms above single rooms it's not exceptable to be woke up at 5 am in the morning with childen stomping about on the floor and having to phone reception to complain .maybe just a thought on your part would make the stay more pleasurable Sincerely Anthony room 39
