About The Derby Arms
The Derby Arms suits travellers who want a countryside base for walking or cycling rather than a city-centre stay. Set in Witherslack, close to Grange-over-Sands and the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it works well for those planning days out on foot or bike, with fishing and golf also nearby for anyone after a change of pace. Pets are welcome, making it a practical choice for owners travelling with dogs.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in-room, and there are accessible rooms for guests who need them. The pub itself has a restaurant and bar, serves breakfast, and offers packed lunches for those heading out early, plus kids' meals for families. A games room and garden with outdoor seating give guests places to unwind, and free WiFi is available throughout.
Free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward, and 24 hour reception means flexibility around check-in. Beyond the property, the surrounding area is well suited to walking and cycling, with further pubs and restaurants nearby for evenings out. Luggage storage and meeting rooms are also on hand, covering both leisure stays and more practical visits.
