“I found the atmosphere at The Derwent Arms to be genuinely welcoming, a quality that extended from the exceptionally friendly staff to the cosy and well-maintained rooms. The kitchen clearly takes pride in its honest, well-priced pub fare, with the Sunday lunch, in particular, drawing significant praise for its quality and flavour. It's the sort of country pub that makes you feel at home, with attentive service that anticipates needs, such as secure bike storage for C2C cyclists or accommodating room requests.”
