We take over the Derwent Hotel, so we get exclusive use of everything in it. This includes a superb main ballroom, a second dance venue, three separate bars, and a spacious dining room with a sociable reception area.
The Derwent Hotel has excellent staff, provides fantastic food, and all residents get access to facilities across the entire hotel complex.
Aztec Spa
Perfect for a spot of holiday pampering with facial and body therapies using the ELEMIS professional spa range, OPI manicures and pedicures, plus the Fire & Ice thermal suite.
Arena Games
2000 square feet of wall-to-wall fun and games.
Aztec Gym
With 32 workstations, it provides the perfect environment for shaping up and working out.
Swimming Pools
25 metre indoor laned pool plus a free-form fun pool alongside, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. There is also a lovely outdoor pool surrounded by sun loungers (not so popular at our January Rock Bottoms).
A friendly, informal restaurant makes for a fun and lively atmosphere at breakfast and dinner. Buffet style breakfast – continental or full English, you’ll be greeted with tea or coffee as you stagger in any time up to 9:45am. You can then help yourself to as much hot and cold breakfast as you wish.
At dinner you’ll find a fine choice of starters, main courses and desserts. In addition there’s a salad bar and hot buffet, with cheese, biscuits and coffee available to round off that perfect meal. On arrival day, you must be seated by 8:30pm to be sure of being served. Cold buffet available until 9:30pm.
The only meal not included in your package is lunch. Fortunately there is a very classy bistro which tends to be buzzing with Rock Bottomers during the afternoon.
There’s a tempting menu with deli sandwiches, toasties, paninis, jacket potatoes, bistro salads and pasta dishes, plus a selection of daily specials. The Bistro extends outside onto a terrace to make the most of those sunny afternoons.
The Derwent Hotel has a luxurious main ballroom, which we have exclusive use of for the whole weekend. Workshops run from 10am to 6pm each day, with freestyles from 8:30pm until the early hours.
Throughout each day we also run a full programme of workshops in a second ballroom in one of the adjoining hotels, directly accessible from the Derwent.
In the evenings, alongside the main ballroom, we run a second freestyle in an atmospheric underground venue known as “The Secret Disco” – offering an alternative style of music alongside late night blues.
All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, TV and radio, tea and coffee making facilities, direct dial telephone, and plenty of space for all your dance clobber.
You can choose to pay a small supplement for a “Superior Room” if you’d like a few extra touches. Alternatively, three of you sharing an extremely large family room gives you plenty of space with no supplement required.
There are a small number of single rooms which sell very quickly. Unfortunately we are unable to offer single occupancy of doubles or twins, so please book early if you need a room to yourself. |
