Chaldon Herring Hotel with Pool

"Great hotel, super friendly staff, lovely swimming pool. Awesome breakfast served by fantastic waitresses who were lovely. Good sized room and excellent shower, floor a little creaky and bed slightly hard but to be expected in a property of this age. No evening meals unfortunately but plenty of local food options nearby. A little bit of noise in the morning from the coaches running their engines first thing, not excessive. Overall very happy with our stay at Laguna, nice old fashioned style hotel with plenty of character and good value "

"My wife and I stayed there for 3 nights last week. We were looked after extremely well from the moment we booked in until we left. We were fortunate to have a room that had a door out to the gardens and that was close to the bar and restaurant areas. It made a change to stay in an old hotel that had loads of charachter instead of the more modern style hotels. All staff were attentive, polite and welcoming. We will certainly stay there again."

"We enjoy swimming."

"Very smart hotel inside with plenty of sunlight in the common areas. Conveniently located to the beach and centre of town. Safe and secure underground car park "

"Friendly and helpful staff, all areas seemed pretty clean "

"Had a excellent stay. Pool attendant Louie was excellent at his job and diligent "

"We stopped from 7th July to 11th July this year 2025. We had a lovely break in the Durley Dean, its clean and tidy and the staff are first class, very friendly. Ok its dated but its Victorian. The bus stops are 200 yards away from the hotel entrance in the direction of Bournemouth and the buses are frequent to lots of local towns and resorts. We were out every day going to somewhere. Swanage, Poole, Westbourne and Christchurch. We would go again. Thank you Durley Dean"
