Country house style accommodation for walkers.  Options of guided walks with well informed leaders or ‘do your own thing’. Owned by the H F Holiday organisation.  Recently renovated and now very modern with comfortable lounges and bar.  Bedrooms either in the main house or upgraded garden rooms with patios, all very clean and well maintained. Guests usually stay on a dinner bed and breakfast basis, and packed lunches are also provided, meals are very well presented and a good choice offered.  Tables are communal, and so guests make friends and exchange tips for walks etc.  There are extensive grounds down to the lake, and pheasants wonder around early mornings.  It is about 30 minutes walk into Keswick, also a large private free car park is provided.  A stand alone self contained cabin in the grounds is a novel accommodation option to try.

Perfect holiday accommodation for walkers

Whilst we're regulars with HF, this was our first visit to Derwent Bank, and I can quite honestly say that this had one of the best views I've had from a room, overlooking the garden and lake and jetty at the bottom. The room was bright and clean and we had eveything we needed for our 4 night stay (although the staff were all very friendly and helpful to assist with any extras and requests). 
Because of Covid, measures were in place, but everything was so efficient this was non-intrusive. In fact we quite liked selecting our evening meal from the menu in our room, and the fantastic lunch selections for the following day's walk. 
A good selection of wine and real ales helped to round up a good day's walking, not to mention the great breakfasts.
There were 7 walk options from the hotel (although I'm sure there are many more) and on Thursday a coach took us to nearby Ullswater for a fantastic scenic hike.
Well recommended and I'm sure we'll be back.

Amazing Room with a View

As part of a Meetup walking group we enjoyed staying at this HF hotel for 4 nights. Spacious and recently refurbished the staff are wonderful and the views of the lake are amazing. Great food, well organised during this time of Covid 19 rules. Rooms are spacious and well equipped, good showers, lovely views. Quiet and relaxing. Take your evening drink onto the terrace and watch the small yachts. Highly recommended

Great play to stay

A 7 day walking holiday with HF holidays, Derwent Bank Hotel. This lovely hotel is in a beautiful location within easy reach of Keswick, surrounded by mountains and with grounds leading right down to the lake shore. Post lockdown routine included social distancing measures throughout and hand sanitiser at the entrance to the hotel, and all public areas. We felt that every reasonable strategy was in place to ensure the safety of both guests and staff. Although guided walks were not available, expert advice was provided with maps and full route information for self guided walks. The food was very good with a varied selection to choose from and the staff were outstanding.

Lovely post lockdown holiday

We had room 44, a garden room, which was a very nice recently built large room, well heated, clean, and well designed for people likely to have wet weather gear to hang up (there was also the boot room).  It had a little patio for summer use.  It was quiet.  WiFi worked in this room.  The staff were without exception welcoming and helpful.  Meals were great - good choice and they managed to serve everybody as quickly as possible bearing in mind we were all eating at the same time.  Shared areas had plenty of seating - with some views of the gardens and the lake.  In the summer the patios would be a lovely feature.

Festive walking 4 night break - highly recommend

A lovely location on the lake side, comfy room in the garden with patio, excellent food and attentive staff. We did our own walks using their recommended route masters, which were detailed and easy to follow. Food was of a high standard and nicely presented. Love the refurbished shared areas.

Thank you

I have stayed in many places but I was impressed with the staff here, They did so much to make sure your stay was a good one. I really can't fault this place. I found the Facilities excellent Food Brilliant, Leaders and staff  very friendly and helpful. Gardens Just great. So what can I say that was bad!!!!! Ummm leaving after 3 days :)

Very Very Happy

Mariano Marcos and his staff are among the best of any hotel in which we've stayed, HF Holidays or otherwise. They have a separate celiac kitchen and I ate wonderful meals without fear of any issues! They are extremely accommodating and the lake district is the most beautiful location in the UK.

Derwent Bank HF Holidays dream trip

The house is situated lake side with a fantastic view across the lake. Excellent comfortable room overlooking the lake. Food fantastic, walking good even when it rained. Very nice company. Deputy manager was in charge, nothing too much trouble.

Excellent stay as always

My wife and I had a three-night stay in this house along with 10 members of our N. Cotswolds U3A walking group.  The two of us were fortunate in having probably the best room in the house - spacious and with a lovely view down across the garden to the lake and distant mountains.  All the party agreed that the place was very comfortable and the food and service excellent.  It is also well located for good walks - up to the popular Catbells or Skiddaw, or along to the Borrowdale Valley; the lakeside walk is easier but very pleasant, and there is a regular ferry service around the lake.  The attractive town of Keswick is not far.  Recommended.
