Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a lovely look around the Derwent Water Marina. Many others were having a great time and carrying out many water sports, rowing, paddle boarding etc. We just enjoyed watching in the sunshine and taking in the tranquil atmosphere.

What a fantastic way to help my daughter celebrate her 30th Birthday. We took out a row boat and two paddle boards. Everyone had a chance to experience rowing and boarding.

It was great fun. We took some great photo and there were some great spills. Derwent water was warmer than Crummock Water where we had all wild swam for half an hour.

Scenery was amazing and even though the lake had quite a lot of activity with other boating, sailing, canoeing etc it still felt amazingly tranquil. Hope to visit again.

I love a kayak hire if it’s within a holiday area! The scenery around the Lake made it that extra mile amazing! The staff are friendly and the prices were great for what you get!

Huge marina to traverse across in a pedalo, kayak or paddle board of your choosing. Very scenic and relaxing with plenty of space for you and others to roam around.

We chose a two-person, sit-on-top kayak for three hours. We showed up on site with no prior booking and were able to hire unproblematically. There are plenty of watercraft available, so this might be why we got away without pre-booking!

Be wary perhaps in the summer holidays when it’ll get busier.

Thanks so much to Cam for a fantastic couple of hours doing our basic introduction to SUP paddleboarding a couple of weeks ago. He was brilliant at explaining everything and got us to do all the things we wanted to do so we could go out on our own. Graham and Amanda , Sheffield

We had a great time on the Lake on Paddle boards. It was a first time for both of us. We were going to hire a Kayak or Motor boat but thought Paddle boarding would be
fun to try. We arrived just before lunch and hadn't booked so were not very hopeful as it was holiday time and lovely weather. The staff were really helpful and said we could hire boards and wet suits. We hadn't eaten so we said we would return after lunch. Although they were busy with school groups and other bookings nothing was any trouble to them. We were soon fitted with wetsuits ,life jackets, boards and paddle and the rules of the lake was explained to us and off we went.
we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours on the lake it was so much fun.

My family and I were visiting the Lake District and really wanted to get on the lake so we chose kayaking. Even though we had little experience, it was so much fun. The staff gave us some great tips and they made the whole process really easy. It was a very reasonable price as well. Would definitely recommend going here if visiting!

Under developed which left us underwhelmed. Rife for expansion and yet lives in the 1970's \not worth the effort of visiting in present state

Great experience paddle boarding. It was a chilly windy day. After a warm welcome and getting set up my teens had an enjoyable hour paddle boarding on the lake. They were advised beforehand if it was too choppy or cold they could come back after an hour and we’d be reimbursed for the second hour. They also offered to let them swap for a kayak instead. They stuck with the paddle boards and had an enjoyable hour on the lake. It was too cold for the 2! We would definitely book again in the warmer months. Good quality equipment and very helpful staff.
