I took my 80 Yr old mum away as she's recently been diagnosed with Dementia. We had the best time together & she loved every part of this trip. The only disadvantage is there is so much wasted time as its basically two days travelling; whole day there & whole day back. This meant we only really had three days there. I realise there's nothing that can be done about this but was amazing & perfect

The Derwentwater Hotel is in need of a refurbish there were several issues from different guests over the 3 days. The food on the other hand was very good. Our driver was friendly. But on the optional day out I felt that 2 hours was too long in Keswick
