We really enjoyed the high quality food which we ordered. We would definitely recommend the Derby Arms to all our friends and family. Customer delight,... More

A group of us stayed here on a saturday night after competing in run nearby. I was over the moon to discover my room had a roll top bath, perfect for an after run soak. We had booked to eat downstairs and all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The staff were very helpful and friendly. In the morning we all sat... More

The continental breakfast was great and the ham was delicious. We also had an evening meal, the food was excellent especially the penne pasta :-) and... More

Had a lovely stay at the Derby Arms, it's in a very peaceful location which is quite relaxing, and great if you enjoy walking! The pub/restaurant itself was rather busy on the night, we did wait a little for our food - but a bar maid did come over to apologise and explained that it was the busiest Saturday she'd... More

Comfy bed. Quality bed linen. Dog friendly and no charge to bring a dog. Food is still good though it seemed to be a different chef now. They do a few gluten free main meals and well behaved dogs are welcome in the dining area. Location is ideal as travellers can get to all main towns in the Lakes easily.... More

After spending the weekend wrapped up from the snow we rounded things off at the Derby Arms. A great guest beer to start while the menu and special board was perused. We went for the roast beef lunch and the beef & ale pie, both being top quality meals. The beef & ale pie was very tender in a light... More
