Liked: Cleanliness
The Potter suite that I was staying in had the most beautiful view on the lake and the mountains. My comfortable room was being cleaned every day. I can also recommend the bathtub in which I took very relaxing baths. The staff is friendly and accommodated to all of our needs and were overall just very helpful. Taking morning walks to the lake is also something that I enjoyed doing a lot. The hotel truly has a magical garden. I will definitely come back to the Derwentwater Hotel when I visit the Lake District again.

Beautiful hotel great space.

Lovely spacious hotel in beautiful grounds and good size car park. Great for visiting Keswick just a short stroll away. They hotel is huge. Breakfast was good. There is signs of age in the decor but quite adequate for an over night stay. A bit of a re fresh wouldn't go a miss but was a friendly welcoming nights stay.

Very pleasant and good value

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.

Great for overnight stay with dogs

Great for overnight stay with dog. All staff friendly and helpful. Hotel is dated and rooms could be cleaner however bed was comfortable and bar and dining area clean with great breakfast choice. Large enclosed gardens and 15 minute walk into Keswick from back of the hotel (off road country walk)
