If you stay here, just know that it’s an older space, but it’s also beautiful. They have a great area to gather and games to play. The property has a proper garden area with lots of places to sit. We would absolutely go back.

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.

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)

Lovely hotel, very dated and needs a refurb but for hiking trip was value for money. Beer garden was stunning and lots of grounds to walk over.

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 .

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

I was planning on camping a couple of nights near Keswick, weather not looking good for a late arrival so decided to stay at Derwentwater Hotel... so glad I did! - At check in I was greeted in a really professional manner, in the bar the staff were super friendly! That was my opening night. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic, set me up fuel wise for my planned ascent of Skiddaw (walking past a farm I camped at 47 years ago on my first Scout Camp!!) My hike up Skiddaw, descending to Keswick and then back to hotel was great (nothing to do with hotel of course) BUT on return all staff I spoke to were interested in my day, to the extent that I was chatting to the hotel manager for over an hour!!!! This level of customer service and interest is rare and is really valued by me! Thank you to all at the Derwentwater Hotel for making my stay so enjoyable. If you want a pristine, brand new hotel - well, pay the price for it - but if you want great service, an amazing breakfast and the perfect location head to Portinscale!!

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.

Though we came pretty late to the property, we had staff to take care of our check in etc. And also morning breakfast was very good, and the staff were very nice and friendly. Overnight my friend had to work in lobby area for his work, and staff made sure that he was comfortable there.

Stayed for 2 nights with a dog. Hotel in the process of refurbishment. Our room was lovely, great view of the large beer garden with a short walk to the lake. Very friendly staff and good food. 20 min walk into Keswick which is very dog friendly too. Will be back.
