TLH Derwent Hotel - TLH Leisure, Entertainment and Spa Resort
All the staff were excellent.Room was clean although very small(213). I always enjoy my stays at the Derwent. Disappointedly Alberts was closed and therefore the two reduced price drinks on arrival day were not available although the vouchers were still in the room.
