The Derwentwater Hotel

NO LIFT, ROOM NEEDS UPDATING, CARPET DIRTY, NOISY

First of all the website didn't indicate how far the hotel was from the Keswick bus station. The hotel was in Portinscale not Keswick. Buses were infrequent. The hotel was clearly old and very short staffed. When we arrived there was no shower curtain and t.v. remote was broken. The reception dealt with that quickly so it wasn't a major problem. Breakfast was fine and dinner was o.k. The hotel just seems to be out dated and needing some upgrades.

The surrounding gardens lounge nice to sit in. Needs refurbishment and decorating.

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)

A hotel very much past its prime in need of some TLC . See photos - chipped painted wood work , ill fitting door hardware , mould in bathroom on grout , tiles , silicone & shower curtain . Bath panel damaged . Staining on walls , badly patched ceiling & curtains too short so lining hangs below . So disappointing when the photos online look so inviting & the property appears well kept . Absolutely not worth the price . Would NOT recommend .

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.

We got stuck in the lift was very funn

Rooms basic but comfortable, overall hotel was dated but clean and staff very friendly

Ideal position for the lakes . Beautiful garden , peaceful setting . Staff friendly . Food good . Needs refurbishing but that was reflected in the price . Would go back again .

A lovely old building in a beautiful setting with views of Derwentwater and the mountains. The staff very friendly and efficient. We have stayed here several times and will again in the future.The dog was welcome too!
