Derwentwater House Reviews

Fabulous house for a celebration family friends get together. The dining room is great, the two big lounges are wonderful for relaxing and the games rooms were a real success. It was wonderful having so many bedrooms all ensuite and the Lodge proved just right for the young adults in our multi generational party. Everything we needed was provided and the gorgeous Christmas decorations were the icing on the cake. We also loved the hot tub and alpine lodge with the fire pit. We had a fantastic time and can highly recommend this wonderful property. Imported from Google Reviews.

Fabulous weekend, lovely house and great views. The house was well furnished and comfortable for our party. Highly recommended for large gatherings. Imported from Google Reviews

A fantastic long weekend with a mixed age family group. The house grounds and facilities were excellent and suited everyone. Imported from Google Reviews.

What an amazing property! We loved every minute of our stay there. The location literally across the road from the marina is perfect. The views are fabulous. The house is clean and short of nothing and everything is top quality, right down to the towels, lovely hand, shower gel and body lotion! Having the hot tub in a covered courtyard was a godsend, as were the games rooms, as the weather was mixed during our stay. We would definitely recommend this house! Imported from Google Reviews

We stayed for a weekend in Nov 23 at Derwentwater House for a 50th Birthday and had an amazing time. Such a lovely place to celebrate or relax with lots of friends and family, and what is really nice is that reality is nicer than the photos. Everything you need is there for you and Lucie and the team couldn't have been more accommodating. The surroundings are spectacular and Keswick is just a short walk away, what more could you want. Imported from Google Reviews

This was our first get together as a group for nearly two years so we went for the luxury end of the big group market and Derwentwater House really came through. It is a very comfortable and extremely well equipped house with a number of outside dinning and lounging areas. The bedrooms are very comfortable and mostly ensuite there is also a lodge next to the main house which again is awesome. The hot tub is fantastic made all the better by the placing of an Alexa for your musical entertainment. There is a quirky Arctic wooden lodge at the bottom of the garden which houses an indoor bbq. There is ample parking but be aware of the slope on the entrance drive. The house is situated in an ideal location for all forms of outdoor activities there is even a marina just over the road. We will definitely be back next year and will look forward to a relaxing and luxurious stay. Imported from Google Reviews

Great property. Everything you need for a great groupfamily party location. Very well equipped. Beautiful location and gardens. Cant fault it.

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.
