If you have the chance, take the cabin! It’s so nice to have your own backyard, with a spa and furniture outside, you really feel like home.

We ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel and it was delicious. The staff is really nice and smiling!

Would totally recommand! It’s close to any hikes + we saw a few bikers too!

The rooms, facilities and staff were exceptionally good. The food was outstanding.
The hotel, itself, needs some upgrading to the exterior. Whilst the garden areas were beautiful, the cast iron white tables and chairs were dirty and needed a thorough clean. The water feature also. There were insufficient cushions on the exterior chairs. The whole outside of the building would benefit from white masonry painting to upgrade the property significantly.
We would stay again

We had a great stay and the position of the hotel was great for us. you get what you pay for and i am not being critical but a bit of an update, renovate and decoration in some areas would help to improve the hotel, however this did not affect our stay in any way and the staff were great as was the restaurant.

We booked this hotel for 3 nights. The location is beautiful but quite remote. No shops so a car is needed. A lovely bar/restaurant with helpful staff, an amazing menu. Harry at reception is so helpful . If going for a cruise or into Windermere there is a card for 20% off-available from reception. A model village in the grounds . The room we had was a bit quirky but that did not bother us. There is a swimming pool, small gym and massage therapy. Would highly recommend for a few days away.

Great welcome to the hotel from the gentleman on reception, very friendly and helpful, even understanding when we over slept our check out time.
Room was very spacious and looked like we were in a new part of the hotel room 51, 51 had a great view over the garden where ducks and ducklings were swimming and playing. The garden to the rear of the property was beautifully kept, and the little bridge over the water and small village make of slate made the garden really standout.
Service at the bar was quick and the bar man was super helpful. Breakfast in the morning was a buffet, so you helped yourself which I prefer. The room was well decorated, and had all the features you would expect in a hotel room. Bathroom looked new and the shower was amazing with a raindrop shower head, bed was comfortable and pillows fresh.
1 thing to mention, don't push the button on the side of the toilet. (You have been warned 😉) Great stay and I would stay there again if travelling to the Lakes. Hotel is about 10 minutes drive from Barrow but far enough out not to hear any excess noise from the number of pubs in the town. Full marks for all. 👍

Firstly checked in to find previous guests clothes in wardrobe, then the spa bath didn't work even though we were supposed to have been upgraded , then there was about 6 months dust on top of four poster bed ,the bed was broken and only fixed by a 3mm screw ( dangerous) . Was moved to a twin room for 1 night then put in superior room only to find someone's tablet under the bed runner which should of been clean linen clearly not . Put in a complaint to manager and hasn't even had the decency to respond . If u have any sense please stay somewhere else as that tablet could of killed a child or dog but the owner and manager clearly isn't bothered about safety protocols

The hotel was very well kept and our bedroom we think had been recently refurbished and was lovely and clean.

The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice and the scenery out of the window over the duck pond was beautiful.

The grounds were well maintained with seating areas outside and also around the duck pond.

The only problem we encountered was the Jacuzzi on the second night was a bit hot to sit in but we still had the pool and steam and sauna to enjoy.

We enjoyed this hotel so much we have booked to go back in July. Very highly recommended.

It was very lovely to stay in the dog-friendly hotel in a quiet location.
The room was relatively small, and during the night, we suddenly heard noises from the drains. They were pretty noisy, and the room was dog-friendly.
Staff members were helpful and friendly, but some did not say hello or good morning and did not even look at guests.
The food was delicious, and we enjoyed dinner and breakfast. We saw the lovely garden from the restaurant.
The swimming pool and gym were not big, but they were lovely. Massages were fully booked when we were there. I should’ve booked earlier. Overall, we had a great time there.

Disappointing and disinterested

After several previous positive stays, my most recent visit wasn’t great. Rather than leaving a negative review, I thought it was fairer to email the hotel directly, in response to their request for feedback. Despite taking the time to do that, emailing the manager's email, no one bothered to even acknowledge or respond. This used to be a great hotel with excellent service. Not sure if it has changed management, but this is definitely not the case any more.

Room 53.

The hotel room (53) had a broken toilet seat (it fell off) as the hinge was broken. The mini sofa seat in the room had some nasty (curry ?) stains on it so not able to use.
The door lock was quite difficult to close each time we left. We had to slam the door quite hard to get it to lock properly. Other than that the hotel was fine. We were offered other rooms to change to but this room had a better view.

Sticky tables

Ver good siting and gardens. On the whole, a very enjoyable stay marred only by the sticky tables in the restaurant! The waiter, who was otherwise very helpful, said the problem appeared to be with the spray used to clean the tables. We had a bit of banter about my being a chemist and so able to solve the issue but really the hotel should deal with the problem. Either they should thoroughly clean the table tops using hot soapy water or methylated spirit or if that does not remove the stickiness, refinish the table tops since the problem will be with the surface lacquer. Whatever solution solves the problem, then the spray cleaner needs to be changed!

A lovely stay at the Damson Dene Hotel

We had a great 6 day stay at the Damson Dene. All the staff are super friendly. Had a couple of SPA treatments with Sharon, they were amazing and so reasonable priced. The food in the hotel was superb. The breakfast was plentiful and the evening meals were delicious. The only issue we had was with housekeeping. Over the six days we were there they only made up our room twice. Once we did put the \"do not disturb\" up as my husband wasn't feeling great. I had to request for them to go in on day 5 and then again they didn't go in on day 6. The hotel did apologise but it was very frustrating.

We chose this hotel as we wanted a quiet night away not too far from home and away from the busy tourist areas and it didn’t disappoint. It’s hard to judge a place on a quiet weeknight in November but we had a lovely stay. The room was lovely and clean with everything we needed. Dinner was great even if very quiet but to be expected this time of the year. Breakfast was freshly cooked and a large range of things in the buffet. Plenty of fresh coffee offered at regular intervals. All the staff we met were so nice and friendly and professional.

As I have worked in hotels and most recently as a housekeeper I notice any little things that are often overlooked but I was fully relaxed and everywhere was clean and tidy and there was nothing that would put me off from going there again.
