“Great little hotel”

Derwent Hotel

4 Aug 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

My sister and I took our four kids to Blackpool and stayed here for a couple of nights. The hotel is quite small, but perfect. The two guys who run it go out of their way to help you with anything. There isn't parking at the hotel and the on-street parking only allows for an hour, but the guys managed to find us parking spaces locally and saved us a bit of money in the process and with four kids, it was much appreciated! The place is spotless and the food (we only had breakfast) is served in a lovely little dining room. Everything was freshly cooked and not swimming in grease as often happens. Everywhere is freshly decorated and you'll find everything you need. There's a bar downstairs, which surprised us a little, normally you'd expect to find a couple of seats and a wee bar, but this was just like a pub in miniature and very impressive. Overall a short but very enjoyable stay and would recommend the Derwent to anyone!

We took another couple away for the weekend , so were paying for two double rooms, and hence wanted to keep the budget to £50 per room. Looking on the net a number of Blackpool hotels would fit into this budget but many looked a little 'seedy'. The Derwent looked smarter so we went for this at £42 per room.

Good points:
- Very friendly and helpful management
- Nice, recently decorated rooms
- Good location, easy walking distance from the town centre

Bad points:
- The advertised 'ample street parking' might apply mid-week in November, but on a Saturday afternoon in July, it was very difficult to find a space. Eventually we found a space three inches longer than the car and managed to get it in! Also, the street parking is restricted Mon-Sat 9-6, so you can't leave the car there during the day other than on Sunday.
- The showers had little pressure - washing shampoo out took a long long time for the girls!
