Lovely venue and grounds with the potential to be perfect.
Pros:

The hotel and room were beautiful, the bed was very comfortable and cosy. The staff were friendly and helpful where they could be. The steak I had for dinner was lovely and the drinks were reasonably priced.

Cons:

Service was a little slow at times and for such a luxury hotel, I would have expected a hand with my bags when I first arrived. Unfortunately having only one person on reception limited this service and there was a delay when I asked for help at reception another time. I added an additional guest on night 2 due to a last minute change of plans. I paid £30 for this for additional breakfast and linens, however we did not receive any additional linen and did not request/go to breakfast on this day. Breakfast I ate on my first day in the hotel was ok but continental options were very limited. The room was very hot and no fan was given despite high temperatures outside.

Good location, excellent hotel staff
Pros:

Excellent location to break our journey down from Scotland to Leeds. Receptionist staff welcoming and helpful. Room comfortable and clean. Good food and attentive restaurant staff for evening meal and breakfast. Has 1 working AC charge point so we were able to top up the battery of our EV .

Cons:

Several sets of small numbers of steps between the reception, our room, the restaurant. If you had lots of luggage to transfer between your car and the room or you are not too fit for walking it wouldn't have been handy.

spacious and well considered accommodation and facilities, incredible staff service .
Pros:

We have experienced 2 accommodation styles at Derwent manor Hotel: The wonderfully designed 'Den' family room suitable for a couple and 2 children up to age 11.
High ceilings, great children's area to climb up into and luxury bathroom. and Lilac cottage a 2 ( twin or double) bed accommodation with sitting , dining , kitchen, garden area with large hot tub. All finished and maintained well in their boutique hotel Style. accommodation is well thought out , designed and fitted out. The stall and manager were all incredibly accommodating. This was a perfect stay for us to pamper ourselves on our coast to Coast cycle trip with our 11 year old son. The food we had as room service from the Prego bar was excellent.

Can't wait to come back and experience different rooms
Pros:

We stayed in the Snug. It was perfect. Decor was exceptional. Super cosy and comfortable.
We ate at Prego. Food was exceptional. Reasonably priced. Id of paid more for what we got. No faults.
Friendly staff.
Beautiful views.

Cons:

I hate to be that person.
But we came away for one night of peace after a hectic few weeks at home. Above the snug is another room. We heard every conversation from other guests, what sounded like moving furniture all throughout the night. We probably got a total of 2 hours sleep between us.
Also despite the mattress being extremely comfortable the pillows were not. They were very hard.
