We had the good fortune to literally stumble across this truly first class hotel last week when travelling in the lakes. The staff were extremely friendly being very helpful and obliging. If you want somewhere to really relax and get away from the stresses of everyday life this is the place to be. With outstanding views of the lakes and... more

This hotel deserves the positive comments it has received in Trip Advisor. We stayed there for 2 nights in June. We had one of the second floor rooms with a view of both the lake and the village of Keswick. It was a rather large room with king sized bed, flat screen TV, with a large bathroom with separate shower... more

Stayed at this lovely little hotel for two nights and basically couldnt fault it. Stayed in a standard room, very comfortable and clean, very quiet at night.. The bar and restaraunt were also excellant, prices and quality were spot on, staff very friendly, hence it was quite a busy place to be. Will certainly return. more

I stayed at the Derwent Lodge Hotel with my partner for three nights -- though we were on the ground floor, we still had a lovely view of the surrounding gardens around the hotel. Everything was extremely tidy, and (aside from the pheasants outside at 7am...hehe) we slept fantastically. The staff at the hotel made us feel very welcome, and... more

Clean recently refurbished small hotel. Decor just right neither too minimalist nor too chintzy. Modern barthrooms with excellent shower. Lots of little extras not usually found in 3 crown places: robes, slippers, in-room safe. Lovely outside terrace open all day. Good quality pub food with a varied menu (albeit with a bias towards cheese) however staff very willing to adapt... more

Stayed with the family at Easter and hotel was perfect. Front rooms have a great view over Derwent Water, hotel is near quiet road through Portinscale but no traffic noise. Whole hotel has recently been refurbished to a high standard. We had a great room (Skiddaw) with big comfy bed and a separate shower and bath room. Shower was fantastic... more

My husband and I stayed at the Derwent Lodge in January for one night. The Hotel is located on the lakeside with excellent views, 1 mile from Keswick. It has recently undergone an extensive renovation and rooms are well presented and comfortable. We had a smaller room (standard) but it was well equipped with new fixtures, flat screen tv and... more

In a way it's a pity to have to give a review for Derwent Lodge as we would prefer it to remain relatively unknown. However, that wouldn't be fair on the owners and staff of an outstanding small hotel. We completely agree with the previous reviews. Our room was clean and beautifully decorated, the views are spectacular and the food,... more

My boyfriend and i stayed at the Derwent Lodge Hotel last week for 2 nights and what a brilliant hotel it is. Like many people that write their reviews on here we have stayed in some amazing hotels, and we have both said that it is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. We booked the Cat Bells room... more
