The Damson Dene is a slightly faded 3 star hotel - and it's totally brilliant! Someone has put in a lot of thought and effort and it shows! It's clean, comfortable, welcoming, relaxing, food is excellent, staff highly efficient and friendly, and it all seems so effortless. There is much competition in this area, but the Damson Dene stands out... More

My partner and I have just spent three nights at the Damson Dene Hotel, the room was lovely with a very comfortable four poster bed, flat screen TV and a Jacuzzi bath, and whilst the hotel does look a little tired in parts, it's clean, comfortable and welcoming. The hotel is surrounded by green countryside, beautiful views from all sides... More

If you saw it, this hotel was subject of a TV fly on the wall documentary series with Wayne the hotel manager at its centre. The programme exposed the management and staff to deep scrutiny and did not do them justice. Wayne is clearly a very good manager and the staff are amongst the best i have seen in the... More

We have just returned from 4 nights at the hotel. We were on a cultural tour of the Lake District and were a party of 25. Everyone enjoyed their time at the hotel and particular mention was made of the helpfulness and cheeriness of the staff and the quality and quantity of the food. We would definitely use the hotel...
