Just returned from a relaxing 3 night break at the Damson Dene which is quirky and comfortable if you are in to modern and minimalist this is not the place for you. It is peaceful just surrounded by fields and with lovely views, the staff are all friendly and helpful and Wayne (the Manager) is a joy.The spa facilities are... More

Stayed here with our 2 teens as a stop over for 1 night, Hannah on reception was very helpful providing information on hotel facilities, kids enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. Room was large enough for 4 but very depressing and dark. The children's beds had no linen or duvet covers on them and this was only discovered late on when... More

Thanks for your review and for bringing the family up to visit. Thanks for giving our staff such a nice review too! I am sorry about the duvet covers being missing. It must have been missed off our system which is rare, but inexcusable. I am pleased it did not keep you from having a nice stay with us! Thanks... More

We booked a 2 night stay with dinner based on the photos and info on the website, as a real treat for us and our 7 year old daughter. The weekend had a value of £350 apparently.... We thought it would be worth the money as a bit of luxury with the gorgeous leisure club etc..... what a terrible disappointment.... More

We are obviously very disappointed to read this review. I am sorry we were not the hotel for this reviewer but the hotel in no way is as described in the review. We work very hard to keep the hotel a wonderful place to visit, with a top-notch cleaning regiment, friendly staff and excellent food. More

we are just back from a short mid week break and we had a super time. The hotel is quirky, the welcome warm and excellent value for money. From ducklings on the pond to ducks on the roof the entire operation is expertly managed by Wayne. Food in both the restaurant and the bar was very tasty, great menu well... More

We decided to visit Windermere at the last moment on our holiday and read the reviews of this hotel so booked for one night on our way south. I thought I must have been at the wrong hotel. It was nothing like the reports. Very old and in need of a major renovation. When we arrived they could not find... More

We were all quite disappointed to read this review. It is obvious we were not the hotel for them. I think it is evident from past reviews that our staff are hard-working and friendly; they could teach the course on hospitality. More

Having stayed at sister hotels - Newby Bridge and Riverside was really looking forward to 2 night break. We found the food excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. However our double room was in serious need of brightening up, there were no pictures on walls and he carpet was threadbare in areas were furniture had been moved. It really... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Damson Dene. The room was clean and nicely decorated, and we loved the fact that the hotel had lots of places to chill out... The restaurant, the bar, the lobby, and of course outside (when it isn't raining!). There is a beautiful view from the hotel looking over the lovely garden and the... More
