Keswick hotel
Very helpful staff on reception. Great evening meal. Lovely choice and fresh & hot. Excellent service too… Our room overlooked the lake and was fabulous… Whilst the hotel is a little tired the staff were not at all. They were great. A great place for walking around the lake .

Clean and comfortable
Lovely location and good hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable, hallways were very noisy/creeky and stairwells were dated. Good bar area and restaurant, with a very good breakfast. Unfortunately the evening meal service was not available, no prior notice was given of this and alternative plans had to be made.

Night stay on the outskirts of Keswick.
We stayed for a night on the 6th of February 25. A nice welcome but I’d say that the hotel needs a little ‘love’ but it is currently getting upgraded so that may come. Our room was warm and the bed comfortable. Used the shower which also was good. Breakfast is self service and the food was warm and well presented. I would use the hotel again if I wanted a cheap place to stay. It is around a mile from Keswick and if you walk go the long way round because the quicker way is full of large puddles and can be a bit hazardous and you might need wellies !! One more thing is that book your taxi from the hotel because there are very few if any taxis in Keswick.

Comfortable stay, go for the dinner package!
We stayed 2 nights at the Derwentwater Hotel. It’s a bit of a quaint traditional English hotel. They seem to have a new and more modern wing and the original bits as we had 2 rooms and one looked a lot newer than the other. We would highly recommend getting the package with dinner as you get a 3-course dinner, which is great value and not to mention delicious. Breakfast is a full buffet spread which was great too! Sheets were clean and good water pressure for the shower. There’s also a nice little bar, and some board/card games in the conservatory. Parking at the back of the hotel is £5 per night though.

The hotel was undergoing some redecoration work during our stay but this did not spoil the experience. The staff are very helpful and made our stay a pleasant one.
Howard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average.
The hotel is in need of a huge amount of tlc. A lot of time, effort and money would be required to sort this out. It is very tired looking and the interior definitely needs, at the very minimum, a good coat of paint. The carpets looked as if they hadn't been hoovered in a long time, especially in the corridors. Having said that, our bedroom and bathroom were okay. The bedding and towels were spotlessly clean and there was always plenty of hot water. Breakfast was very good. However the television in our room was not working for the duration of our stay. The hotel staff were disappointingly not able to resolve this problem.

Overall i was a bit disappointed with the stay. The room had not been vacuum cleaned. The bathroom was very dated and is in much need of modernising. The shower kept loosing pressure. The staff were lovely and happy to help. Breakfast was very nice

I liked the location and the garden. The rooms are in need of updating and they were not cleaned during our stay. The television worked on the first day only. The toilet flush needed attention.
