Fantastic Short Stay

We had a great stay at the Derby Manor - the hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was lovely, clean and comfortable. With a 15/20 minute walk to the pier/beach/town the hotel was great for our short stay in Bournemouth. The free parking was a real bonus too. We'll definitely be back next time we want to stay in Bournemouth!

Weekend Break

We stayed in the Grand National room which was amazing. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and you had a choice of cooked or continental or both so plenty of choice.

Late September break in Bournemouth

We stayed two nights in the Derby Manor. This small hotel lived up o our expectations, it was very nicely furnished and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order plus plenty of fruit and pastry options. It was only a short walk to beach and parking was no issues. For evening meals - it is worth checking out the Bournemouth steakhouse. Good food and service.

Faultless! Great hotel, stunning building, luxurious rooms & decor throughout. Ever-So friendly staff, ideal location for the O2 (Echo & the Bunnymen, great gig btw). And to top it off the breakfast was first rate. I couldn’t recommend this hotel strongly enough. Find out for yourself.

8/10 Very good

Disappointed to find I wasn’t on the list for breakfast. Had to return with an email proving I was entitled. They blamed hotels.com. Room was a little below standard in places. Shower tray had several large chips, some had been painted over. Needs replacing. Blind was missing from bedroom window, clearly broken and not replaced. Wash basins were a bit well worn, signs of repair. Top of door fame missing into bathroom. Overall a nice stay but top money requires the room to be perfect. Especially when remedial work is required

The Derby Manor

The Guest House we stayed in was absolutely beautiful, attention to detail was second to none. It would've been nice ro access the family room later on in the night but sadly it was locked up until the morning. But it was a lovely comfy room.

Hotels.com charged double for breakfasts

This is a reveiw on hotels.com. The hotel charges £15 /head for breakfast . I booked 2 couples and clicked on add breakfast for £120 wich should have been correct..they chaged me 2 x £120 which is double!

Nice place

Very nice place. The interior was fresh and cozy with many details. In the garden you could sit and have a drink if you didn’t want to sit in the salon Excellent breakfast. Situated in a nice area in the city, 10 minutes walk to the seafront and another 10 minutes to the pier. We appreciated the free parking inside the yard. The girls working there were nice and helpful. It was a hot day and there were no air conditioning, but the fan was quite ok.

Unfortunately no restaurant. Shame there is a review extolling it from some time ago. Room would benefit from more wardrobe or drawer space.
Gordon, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was noisy and one could hear the room next door which was quite annoying. Bedroom was not cleaned and bedding not changed during our entire stay. Staff are great but they need to tidy the rooms more often.

10/10 Exceptional

En route to Poole Harbour.

A really good find and one which we will return to shoud we go back to Bournemouth. The hotel is situated in a quiet, residential area, within easy walking distance of the town. Our room, on the ground floor, was quiet and small, though had everything needed for a very pleasant stay and was tasefully decorated. The young staff could not have been more helpful in the bar and on reception. Sadly, we did not take breakfast, as we needed to be on our way earlier than breakfast service.
Heather, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Looks lovely aesthetically, however, the hotel itself is hardly functional. Water pressure is non-existent across the entire place - shower is a dribble, impossible to wash hands and our toilet didn’t flush/ continuously back-filled. Flickering lights in the bedroom. Each of these issues was highlighted to staff within 10 minutes of arrival, yet despite reassurance ‘maintenance’ is coming, nothing happened in our 3 days there. Amazingly however, 2 hours after leaving, the manager Thereza sent me an email saying there were no signs of any issues (despite previously acknowledging them). Her only explanation to any issue, I wasn’t pressing the flush button in enough… safe to say, I’m capable of pressing a button, so that’s an out and out lie. Breakfast itself was okay, but I will say it seems understaffed and each morning was about a 45 minute wait for food - fine if you’re not in a rush or enjoy chatting to the other guests in the morning but possibly not ideal for many. Overall, I’d rather stay in a premier inn even if they were the same price. Absolutely not a functional hotel and quite frankly rude management. I can’t speak for other individual rooms, however I cannot advise highly enough that you ‘The Oaks’ room and any communal areas that we had access to.

Disappointing

We arrived and there was not one sole insight despite it saying reception was open, when we came to check in, the lady in reception was friendly enough, however we werent shown where we would eat for breakfast, we were told on our keys was a key to a annex, however again werent told or shown where this door was, the room on first sight was lovley, clean, just as the pictures had shown, however, as we went to use the items in the room we were disappointed, the spotlights flickered, the ironing bored was, well broken, and then the shower, at around 7pm my boyfriend decided to have a shower, half way through his shower, the hot water stopped, he went to reception to say about the issue, where he was told, they would have to ring someone, no offer to finish his shower elsewhere, no apolgie, we eventually went out, him half showered, after not hearing anything about it being fixed and we had a meal booked, when we returned we asked if someone had looked at our shower the young girl just said ' it should be alright now' again no apology, disappointing to say the least, breakfast, i wanted avocado on the second morning to be told they werebt ripe enough yet, in all honesty it was a really disappointing stay, would not recommend, especially for the price!

Disappointing stay...

Somewhat disappointing experience. I booked an "executive" room, which was not in any way executive. The desk was tiny already and almost ½ the space that was available was taken up by the kettle and tea/coffee etc. There was no fridge to keep water cool. The lack of fridge meant tea and coffee was made with the UHT cartons that you'd get in a budget motel rather than a supposedly upmarket boutique hotel. The bathroom was tiny. Using the toilet was a challenge as you were competing for space with the toilet roll holder. There was a small (appx. 50cm x 8cm) shelf above the toilet but no other storage in the bathroom for toiletries. The shelf in question was literally held up with a bit of folded tissue wedged in at the front. The tap was a "waterfall" design with a rather slow flow and required running for anything up to 2 minutes on cold if you'd recently used the hot tap before anything resembling cold water came out. The shower was spacious enough and plenty of hot water available. The room was clean, and the bed comfortable. However, the curtains didn't draw anywhere close to completely, and the multiple shutters did a poor job of keeping the light out. Fortunately, I had declined the pricey (£20) breakfast. Had I opted for it, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as it isn't served until 08.30. Wifi connection was reliable but very slow - around 4Mbps download and less than 1Mbps upload.
