The property itself was in good shape considering the age food in general was ok ….. as for the mattresses in the rooms it’s like sleeping on a rack from the Middle Ages…. Definitely need new or at least a mattress topper… I’d possibly return if the bedding was changed and was able to get a good deal.

Ignore the pictures of the hotel when booking

The room was nothing like those pictured actually the total opposite. Only one window opened so the room was a sauna and the curtains didn’t close fully. The whole hotel was a sauna other than the swimming pool that was an ice bath! No housekeeping on Saturday but wasn’t informed of this so had to go to reception to get more milk and was told we couldn’t get more towels so had to go out and buy some.

The room, particularly carpet, was not very clean and decoration tired. It is really difficult to find one's way around thee hotel and the whole complex. Colour coded signage and far more of it would help. It's hard to take advantage of facilities when information is so poor.

Weekend family stay

We always like coming to stay at the Derwent Hotel. The hotel swimming pool is lovely, and so is the evening entertainment. The rooms need upgrading and refurbishing especially carpeted areas in the room and the matresses are definitely very old. Although there are things that can be improved we still had a lovely time and im sure we will be back again!

Good hotel for family

Overall the stay was good, pools were nice, gym equipment was a bit dated, amenities were all great, not to far to walk to beach, friendly staff, breakfast was a bit basic, had to ask for crossant as they were not out on display and only found out they were available from another customer, prices for meals were a bit expensive, room was a bit of a trek to get to as we were on top floor but it was clean and spacious and we slept well as there were plenty of windows to open to let in the cool air, the fan was definitely appreciated

Staff were good which always makes a difference. A short walk to the front and the town centre. Inside pools were very good, plenty of room to swim. Noisy at night with teenagers running around, a school trip, and traffic noise.
