Excellent location and very peaceful. All the staff were very professional and pleasant. The room was spacious with a good sized ensuite bathroom. Having read previous reviews about the hotel we were not surprised or disappointed by the rather dated decor and bathroom. And given the good value of our stay compared to other similar venues, this was clearly factored in.

Average stay at the Derwentwater hotel, the staff & location are excellent however we did feel the hotel looked tired. Also we found the bed very hard. Overall we’ve had a lovely time in the Lakes.

Great hotel and a lovely outdoor area and bar. Check in was very slow with a queue of people in the waiting room. Staff were really friendly and helpful. No AC which is a shame. Wi-Fi was good. Beds were not comfortable.
