Derwent Dale Cottage Reviews

23rd March 2025
The cottage was lovely and clean. The views were stunning and it was really peaceful. Would definitely recommend and I will be coming back soon.

This is our second time at derwent Dale, while it is a great place as a Base, it is now getting a little dated, with the kitchen cupboards. There wasn't as many cups and knives as when we first went. The hot tub was freezing cold on the first night but was hot by the second night, but had obviously got a leak as the water level kept dropping and the floor was completely sodden the whole time. There were no instructions on where to put bin bags etc.But it was clean and very warm and was lovely and quiet.
