“FAB-U-LOUS!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

We booked this B&B for an Autumn weekend away for me, my husband and a couple of girlfriends - had a couple of reservations - it has been years since we stayed in a B&B anywhere...need not have worried. From the minute we arrived we were really pleased with our choice. Lovely cheerful welcome from Chris and we were given 3 rooms adjoining on the first floor all were very clean with lots of storage, plenty of plug points, a hairdryer and TV. Ensuite bathrooms (showers) were clean with wall heaters and plenty of hot water, lovely fluffy towels and a thoughfully provided little bowl of 'just in case' toiletries. The basement of the Derwent is the cavern bar - and Chris provided amusing anecdotes along with our drinks as well as some top tips about places to go for food, drink and entertainment. Come bedtime we were delighted with very comfy beds especially the memoryfoam pillows - going to be buying some for home now - and lovely crisp bed clothes. Breakfast (Full English) was beautifully cooked plus Chris and Rob provided gallons of Tea and Coffee and Toast on demand!! (and you could have cereal too). Location wise The Derwent is very well located about a 10 min gentle stroll from town centre, tower and sea front. If you are looking for somewhere where you will get value for money, have a giggle, feel welcome and get a good nights sleep then look no further - thanks Chris and Rob - we are so planning to come back x x

Room Tip: Rooms 1,2 and 3 are all in the same private corrider - great for a group.

“Brilliant place to stay for hen week end”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2011

We went to blackpool on my daughters hen week end and the derwent was part of a package. The owners Chris and Rob have been the best hosts and have helped us to find our way around blackpool and recomended places to go which could save us money.
The accomodation was clean and tidy and we felt that nothing was to much trouble. would stay again if ever in blackpool.

“Very disappointed, rude and abrupt service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2010

having read other reviews we expected to be made welcome. We were shown to our room, the owner (who didn't even introduce himself) seem exasperated with questions I had to ask.

On the day of check out we were a little late getting downstairs (in part due to a terrible night's sleep). We were welcomed with the words "you're too late for breakfast". Well good morning to you too! As it happened we were a couple of minutes late and I doubt it would have been too much inconvenience to offer us at least coffee/toast - especially seeing as we had paid for it. The TV was very ropey in the room too.

Wouldn't book again.

“Excellent!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

First of all we was made welcome by the owners, Robert + Chris, they were very warming and friendly and very helpful too. The rooms are a good size and nicely decorated (which is a change for Blackpool B+B's what we've stayed in before!!!). The breakfasts were delish, full english and a variety of cereals and fruit. Location is fab, only about a 5 min walk into town and only a 15min ish walk to the pleasure beach! Robert + Chris are very good hosts and we would definatley reccomend this hotel to ANYBODY going to Blackpool. A big thanks again to Robert + Chris for the fab hotel and for how friendly and helpful you both were!! hope to see you soon....
