Just had a great stay at the Derwentwater Hotel and great staff and service. In particular a huge thanks to Ronnie and Amy who went out of their way to take time and assist us getting to a local wedding when all other taxi firms were unavailable due to storms and road closures.. Having excellent staff and friendly check in made the stay enjoyable and we will be returning to the hotel again. Fully recommend this hotel. Thanks all.

Property photos bear no resemblance to actual hotel. The hotel needs a lot of investment. Hotel is shabby, dated and needs a refurb. Extremely basic. Good breakfast. Sheets and towels clean. Good parking and easy walk to Keswick town. Right next door to Derwent Hill. Drinks prices very reasonable. Garden is lovely. Ideal for walkers and dog owners. Wouldn't go there to be pampered....

Be warned, the beautiful property you see in the photos of the building in grey brick stone is not where you will be staying. We were completely catfished with the interior and exterior photos shown. That is actually the property across the street and the one we stayed in was very dirty and run down. I would not recommend staying here. I'm surprised Expedia allows those photos to be used when it's not the correct building.

In a poor state inside ,rooms not serviced . The staff are very pleasant and the grounds are very nice. In a good position to walk into Keswick. The price you pay to stay ,then they want you to pay for parking per night we don’t think is very good.

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 .

It's a lovely hotel with excellent grounds to walk the dogs in. Although it could do with a paint touch up in places and some TLC The room we had was clean and the bed was comfy. The service was good however they appeared to be short staffed. The young waitress in the dining room serving evening meal works really hard, and she's a credit to the hotel. The food at both breakfast and in the evening was really nice. We would return to this hotel again if staying over in Keswick.

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.

Beautiful grounds but hotel needs improvement. Public areas scruffy with dirty upholstery, doors and walls. They charge £6 per night to park car which wasn't mentioned when I booked. Lift out of order. My room was cold but radiator did not work. Instant coffee powder at breakfast which you have to make yourself and no fresh fruit. You are asked to choose what you want for dinner within an hour of check in and loud music playing at both dinner and breakfast. Quiet background music would have been much better. On the plus side, staff were very friendly.

Managed to get access to our room early. Always a good sign. Hotel and rooms looked very tired. Need freshening up. However it was clean and the breakfast was great. Great value

Overall it was a pleasant stay, the staff were really welcoming and friendly. Great location. Unfortunately no dinner service was available on the evening I arrived although I had requested this on my booking I wasn't informed until I arrived at the hotel. I wasn't particularly impressed at having to pay for parking and the berries at breakfast were still frozen! Other than than it was a really lovely stay, very dog friendly.

Lovely looking Hotel on the outside but once inside it was very tired looking and in need of an overall refurbishment. Facilities very poor. The TV remote didn’t work and the shower was like going back to prehistoric times. Very poor water pressure. For a £100 plus per night it totally fell short of my high expectations when I booked it. Would not return again.
