This was our second visit to this hotel with our Cocker Spaniel. We spent two very comfortable nights and came away fully refreshed and satisfied. The room was very well equipped, clean and clearly well serviced. Despite the fact that this hotel welcomes dogs the standard of cleanliness is very high. The staff are friendly, very helpful and provide a... More

We stayed for 3 nights in the week before Easter. The weather was cold and dismal but the hotel was warm, comfortable and friendly, with a great view from our bedroom window. Our room was comfortable and the food was excellent (we ate in 2 of the nights) and the staff were always very friendly and helpful. The lounge was... More

We called into the Damson Dene on Saturday 17 May and enjoyed a nice cup of tea and freshly prepared ham sandwich, we had heard it was dog friendly and we weren't disappointed. Cosy lounge area with a real log fire, our dogs were made very welcome and as a real treat their are doggie biscuits for sale with the... More

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

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 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

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
