Derby Manor

Lovely room, great breakfast, good parking.

Nothing really not to like , the shower wasn’t the most powerful & the heated towel rail never worked despite us trying to use it, great bath but the water could have been hotter 🙁

OK but wasn't hot enough.

I have a blue badge but no parking available.

Very spacious

Shower needs attention, need more plug sockets. I think we were overcharged for our drinks at the bar very expensive

breakfast was very good. Room was comfortable.

Decor not to my taste. The bar seemed under used, limited choice of drinks

Good location , lovely property Very comfortable, clean with professional and friendly staff.

All good but we were cycling and nowhere secure to store our bikes.

The hotel was set in beautiful surroundings. Our room was very comfortable and decor was stunning. We really enjoyed the tea and coffee facilities within the room and also the added complementary teas and coffees available in the lounge was a bonus.

Lounge area could be open until 11pm. 10pm seemed a little early to go to bed.

The member of staff on duty was exceptional, very clear information, showed us to our rooms, was there at breakfast and very help full. Breakfast was very nice.

Most places these days have sockets just for the lead not for a plug. As I didn't bring a plug with me I had to charge it in the car

The room was excellent in a lovely house in a quiet location.. The continental breakfast was fine

Full English breakfast was disappointing..it was not cooked to order..bacon and sausages seemed they had been previously cooked and then reheated

The cooked breakfast was yummy! The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable.

Lovely property

Nothing, except the toilet needed a bit of strength to flush! Not a major issue at all, forgot to mention at check out

Everything.

Everything was fine

Friendly welcome and lovely rooms.

N/A

Very comfortable and unique

Blinds were broken and didn’t get fixed so couldn’t close the middle one

Breakfast was delightful with excellent service.

The staff were wonderful, especially James. The room was excellent and the breakfast was superb. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Nothing.

Derby is a fantastic place to stay, this was my 5th visit.

It's not happened with my previous stays but this time, the room had not been cleaned to its usual standard

Good choice at breakfast.Service from Anna was excellent,although she could have done with some assistance when the faclity was under pressure.

De ruime kamer

Wc werkte niet goed, het kan schoner.

Excellent service from start to finish, rooms are pure luxury through out definitely 5 star treatment

Nothing

Room was beautiful but with a bit of thought to how things should be in the room it would be a 10

Making coffee on the floor sockets in wrong places

Excellent breakfast with a wonderful waitress from Bulgaria. So sorry we don’t know her name but she was brilliant, very polite and went the extra mile.

Very small bathroom.

The room was big and spacious. You can tell the owners had really taken lots of care to create a luxury feel.

The location. The beach was walkable but the area didn’t feel too safe as a lone female traveler. When I checked in, the carpet looked like it needed a good hoover and there were cobwebs in the corner of the room. I wasn’t helped with my bags. The room was also noisy one night. I could hear the guests through the wall. But staff did say that they would knock their door if I was disturbed after 10 and were really polite about it.

A very nice hotel with friendly welcoming staff. Good facilities, nice breakfast and free parking.

Our room spacious , comfortable but a bit dark.

Fabulous stay again

good parking. staff were polite ( but no one on site after 10 pm).

I thought it would be more like a hotel for the price paid. to be able to have a drink in the bar after 10pm or to sit in the lounge. instead had to remain in room as this was only option. little details like the toiletries were poor quality, not as alluded to in photos when booking, chocs on pillow were a nice touch but not replaced for second night. Fire alarm early on first morning ruined any chance of a lay in, obviously no fire. room was dated, i would say decorated about 10 years ago. cracked floor tile on bathroom and some mould on the ceiling. wardrobe had internal peeling paint and the safe didnt work.

Lovely room

Would have liked more choice for breakfast

A wonderful hotel, full of character, quietly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life. All the staff are very friendly, a very large room with a comfortable bed, complete with a roll top bath in the room! It's a 30 min walk to the pier, which suited me fine. The beaches are lovely fine sand.

Bournemouth is smaller than I thought, but the hotel made up for that.

Hotel is well presented and looks luxurious with a comfortable lounge, bar and well kept garden. It is within easy walking distance of the train station, bus stops and the East Cliff sea front and also in a quiet road well away from heavy traffic.

We didn't find the bed comfortable and breakfast was a bit spare.

Czysto przyjemnie, cisz , dobre śniadanie miła i przyjazna obsługa.

Brak smart tv nie można się połączyć z telefonem brak Netflix itp.

Been at the Derby Manor a few times now and it is always a delight to stay there, this time was for our 35th Wedding Anniversary

Nothing to dislike

The room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. There were some problems with the lock in the room and the staff very quick to fix it. The staff was very efficient.

Location ,and the car parking and quite funky decor

When we booked the room it was advertised as large double bed, but after we had booked and paid we were sent an email saying the room we had book is a small room with only a queen size bed. The room looked and was set out very nice. But the room was very dusty ...the funky main light...inside the lamp shade on the bedside lamps..the window binds and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. Was a real shame as the room was actually quit nice. The eating hall where you eat breakfast was also a bit of a let down with warn seat covers and again cobwebs hanging from ceiling and around the fire exit doors.

Bathroom dated sinks stained lights not working under shower

beautiful property, clean, friendly staff.

No air con

The location is excellent

The terrible smell that we had to sleep through & the staff knew about it

Friendly staff, in particular, James was really helpful and friendly.

The smell in the hallway to the room.

I had a lovely stay at the Derby Manor and I would definitely stay again. I booked it as a birthday treat to myself and it lived up to all expectations. The lady who checked me in was very through as she took me around and showed me all the necessities within the room. She was kind enough to look into an upgraded room for me as I thought I'd booked a different room. Without much time I was moved into the grand room with the bath. It felt like luxury. Breakfast was simple but nice and tasty. The hotel was in a very good location for the itinerary I'd arranged for my birthday. Thank you for making my birthday a memorable one and hope to be back again next summer x

N/A

The room was lovely, especially as we had a free upgrade. The breakfast was very good.

Our bedroom door rattled when the outside was opened/closed, needs the hinges/latch looking at. Shower was very difficult to get cool enough, very hot.

Breakfast excellent staff friendly great garden

More light by the dressing mirror

The property is beautiful, staff are lovely, location great and very close to town and beaches within a 5 minute drive. Breaker was lovely on the small side but tasty. The parking was free which saved some money and I would definitely stay again next time I’m in Bournemouth.

Nothing

Everything was outstanding, location, staff, room, breakfast and even parking.

Nothing

Great location and the grounds are lovely. Staff are very helpful.

The Bar closes at 10 pm. I would’ve liked it to have stayed open for longer.

Quiet some nice rooms bed comfy good bathroom

No dressing table mirror to sit and dry hair 😩

Second time visiting this hotel and it feels like luxury there I love the private garden and how quiet it is

Friendly staff always ready to help.

To be honest the only slight problem is parking space. We did park next door but no clear space markings. So were not sure we were in correct bay

Very good room, the bed was huge and very comfortable. The breakfasts are very good. The hotel is in a great location walking or driving to local attractions and beaches in a few minutes.

No tv remote in the room. Parking is very tight.

The property was beautifully presented. Very stylish, modern and tasteful. Clearly well maintained

We stayed in the Aintree Room which was ground floor facing the parking area which was all gravel. As it was very warm our windows were open which unfortunately meant we were kept awake through till early hours and again early morning, due to cars parking and crunching on the gravel; people talking right outside our window and worse still smoking there. We don’t believe the noise would have been much less with the windows closed though. Also bar had run out of ice. A fridge in the room would have been welcome.

Great room size

Not enough car parking , had to park elsewhere

Excellent, fabulous decor

Good location and comfortable

Only 1 big towel, no fridge

Lovely clean hotel.Staff very friendly. Located in very nice area.

Nothing

The hotel was spotless and tastefully furnished.

It was a bit away from facilities a bit of walking. Reception closed between 10 and 2 whic i found unusual. The bar closed very early of a night which i suppose is fair enough if noone is around but i like to sit and have a drink after being out of an evening mind you it was expensive for a small wine ...... so you wouldnt be in the bar for long !! Family run so its nice to support these places rather than the chsins .doing a lovely job all the same nice people deserve the business . ..

Modern furnishings, comfortable and quiet with very friendly and helpful staff

The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff were brilliant, very friendly and helpful. Ana who served breakfast was really nice and helpful and the young lad who dressed in black ( unfortunately I don’t know his name) was brilliant.

Nothing, it exceeded our expectations.

Size of the bed and room.

Not too big and busy

Nothing our stay was great

Back again stay here all the time because it is such a lovely hotel very central to everything also the staff are so friendly especially Laura who works on the front desk

Nothing

Everything! From being greeted by James who is an asset to your business. Very friendly, chatty and had the answers to any questions we had although he covered pretty much everything without being asked. The room was beautiful, the bed was 10/10 for comfort. The bathroom was huge and the jacuzzi bath was heaven. Every amenity you could need was catered too. The breakfast was outstanding with such a good choice of options and again the lovely lady that served us was so nice and friendly.We honestly couldn’t find fault with anything at all. The whole hotel had beautiful decor throughout, Well done on what you have achieved here. We will be back without a doubt.

There was nothing we didn’t like. No criticisms at all.

Sehr schönes großes und komfortables Zimmer. Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus und nach einem kurzen Fußweg direkt am Strand. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Es gibt nichts auszusetzen

Everything the hotel and the rooms are beautiful we have stayed in the Newmarket room and the Ascot room and would certainly go back again the breakfast is lovely and Ana who serves the breakfast always with a smile and so polite and Andrew and James and all of the team are all so nice and helpful thank you all for making our stay so nice from Paul and Sandra

Nothing it was all perfect

Friendly helpful staff and rooms immaculate.

Beautifully decorated, great location very clean. Perfect place to relax.

It was a lovely Manor House. Everywhere was clean. All of the staff were friendly. Our room was really comfortable. It was the perfect base for our trip.

Our room was far too hot! A fan was provided with the room but it was small.

Beautiful and charming place and the staff were very friendly

le lieu est superbe nos sommes resté qu'une nuit.

Tranquil a favourite location when in Bournemouth

Nothing

Really nice, spacious room.

Patchy WiFi

All the facilities were above expectations.

Nothing excellent

Hotel has been decorated to a high standard and was comfortable

Breakfast was awful not much choice did not match the luxury that the hotel is trying to portray cheap juices preserves etc cheap soap shower gel etc in rooms also on arrival we got informed that breakfast times advertised are incorrect and actually breakfast finished and hour earlier than stated on information

The place was spotless, and everything perfect for our one night stay. When we arrived for check in we were met by a lovely polite young man James who showed us around and to our room. Breakfast was perfect and for me the important thing was how clean everything was. Definitely stay here again. Thanks Justin and Andrea.

Very clean, good ambuence

Breakfast options were very very limited

Having had very enjoyable stays at this excellent hotel we went back to see it again, and were welcomed by a very friendly and help James, and had complimentary tea in the lounge. The decor, service and cleanliness are outstanding, and we would continue to recommend this hotel as one of the best in Bournemouth.

What can I say? We were very impressed with Derby Manor Boutique Hotel. The décor, attention to detail, furnishings and little extras were all tasteful and of a really high standard. We paid £162 for a Deluxe Double Room, which was advertised at around £300, so we felt we got a great deal. There's free parking and it's about a 15-minute walk to the beach via the Zig Zag pathway. The hotel also has a lovely, well-kept garden with tables and chairs, making it a nice place to sit and relax. The only disappointment was the water feature, which wasn't working and looked like it needed a good clean. The staff were very friendly. They weren't always around, but that wasn't really an issue. There were a couple of small negatives. There was a cracked floor tile in the shower room and some mould on the shower ceiling. Unfortunately, while sitting on one of the plush bedroom chairs, one of the legs went straight through the carpet and floorboard, leaving me flat on the floor and a hole in the carpet! I expected a little more than just a simple apology, but these things happen. Breakfast was excellent and the dining room was lovely. At £15 per person, we thought it was well worth it. Despite the few issues, we really enjoyed our stay. Derby Manor is full of character and offers excellent value for money. We'd happily return and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a boutique hotel in Bournemouth.

Fantastic experience and great service , with such a lovely breakfast too. Owner Andrew has got this spot on, and front of house Maxine is excellent ! Great hotel in a fab location. Just book it !

Booked last minute for our anniversary, the hotel was as advertised, beautifully decorated and as pictured, often when you go to hotels they aren’t as they are pictured, this most definitely was, the staff were wonderful, the young gentleman that checked us in was super helpful, informative, he was running the hotel by himself, was a lovely gentleman, one thing we did notice was attention to detail, our room had a lot of sky lights which were lovely but it was clear that nobody ever dusted there to clear cobwebs also the shower head needs a proper descale so that it works as best as it could apart from that no other issues with this room, breakfast the following day was of good quality and cooked well, good selection of continental food too, waitress was great couldn’t do enough for us, all round fab experience at a great price defo stay here again

Very warm and friendly welcome from the young man on receoption. Ana in the breakfast room was lovely and friendly and attentive.

No airconditioning in the suite.

The breakfast was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were very friendly.

Perhaps just a personal thing to us being OAP's but we didn't like the wet room shower set up. We constantly had towels down to prevent us slipping.

The hotel is great, feels luxurious and staff are really friendly and welcoming

The ensuite shower room was tiny. I've stayed at the hotel several times now and this was the smallest room with a tiny ensuite shower room

staff were friendly. Room was clean and adequate. clean bathroom. breakfast was good.

disappointed there wasnt a restaurant for dinner. the bedroom wardrobe door really needed some WD40 no view from the bedroom window

Fantastic decor , breakfast and brilliant staff . Easy parking. Will definitely be returning. Cannot recommend enough

Nothing

The place was clean

A bit too small for the the amount of money.

Very clean, beautiful house with a large room and lots of character.

The bar area is under used and unmanned which is a shame as it could be an asset

Everything was fine and in the price range. They do not have air conditioning in the room and that's the only problem

air conditioning in room

The room's decor was lovely, very comfortable bed.

Wasn't really impressed with the breakfast. For a four star boutique, was surprised that the fruit was tinned, would have been nice to see freshly chopped fruit in a bowl and being in the summer season, no excuse. Strawberries, juicy oranges, kiwis, mangos, blueberries, I use these fruits at home for my breakfast. To go from fresh fruit to tinned, very disappointing. Would have also been nice if there was a more appealing choice of pastries, all miniature sizes. Felt like you were saving on costs. Disappointed with the egg benedict. The egg was overcooked and too much sauce. My partner's fried egg was also overcooked and it didn't look very appetising. Tried something different for breakfast the next day. The salmon and scrambled eggs. To be honest I cook better scrambled eggs, it was under cooked and please don't butter the toast. You don't know how much butter people like on their toasts, for me it was too much. After breakfast on the first day, we thought it would be nice to sit in the garden. Sorry, but not a very nice sight. Do you have a gardener? Birds poo on the chairs, leaves and debris on tables and chairs. Leaves haven't been swept on the patio, wall water feature Wasn't working, covered in green moss. The lanterns above the door into the garden, were covered in dust and cobwebs. We asked for our room to be cleaned. Cleaner seemed like couldn't wait to leave. Sheets and towels had not been changed. Same towels were just thrown over the rail. I notice someone else mentioned this on their review, seems like it's still an on going problem. Wish I took photos of the messy used towels, would have posted them. Would have been nice if there was a mini fridge. Sorry, not worth the money, won't be coming again, or recommend it.

Large room but plumbing in bathroom was hit and miss. The staff were very helpful and tea coffee in the lounge was nice. Anna in breakfast room was very accommodating and sweet with breakfast orders. The furniture was very nice and beds were comfortable. James looked after us with a mini fridge and extra water as it was a very hot week. Near and easy walk to the beach and bus stop within easy walking distance as well. We would stay again when visiting the area.

Plumbing which has been mentioned before in the Oaks room ! Whilst the breakfast was of good quality I found the traditional breakfast was overcooked and dry. Best option was scramble eggs and smoke salmon the nicest of the 3 cooked options.

The modernist on a lovely Manor House!

The noisy neighbours, partying in there Garden still at 1ish Sunday morning & snell of majuiana wafting through our open window as soon as Hot!

La atención de la recepcionista Laura, siempre dispuesta a ayudarte en todo y de Ana a cargo del desayuno.

La falta de aire acondicionado durante días de intenso calor.

Lovely boutique hotel close to the beach in a quiet, leafy street. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and seemed to have been renovated quite recently. Fully recommend this hotel for a few nights in Bournemouth.

Very comfortable room. Breakfast was fantastic.

Everything was great

Great stay in great location

Well decorated, clean and luxurious.

A hidden gem, quirky and stylish

Все было просто превосходно. Это лучший отель, в котором приходилось оставаться. И сюда обязательно хочется вернуться вновь.

A lovely room, lovely decor, great there is complimentary drinks, nice to sit in the garden.

Nothing

Beautiful accommodation and grounds. Decor is stunning and the room was very comfortable.

Would have been nice to have a mini fridge in the room. The seagulls are very loud in the morning but that is just the area in general.

Beautiful comfortable room. Nicely shaded with effective fan in the extreme heat. Very friendly and efficient staff. Quiet location. Excellent breakfast. Very relaxing stay.

Nothing.

Room good breakfast

All good
