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.
Lovely hotel with beautiful gardens and fantastic view. Our room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The hotel is dog friendly and we were able to eat in the bar area with our dog. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend.
Second stay here, and I look forward to returning. Staff are so friendly and accommodating.
Excellent leisure facilities and a overall great place to stay!
Excellant breakfast choice and period of which this was great.
Gym facitilities were ok but not all appeared to be in working order. Cleaan pool. Jacuzzi, steam roon and sauna.
Grounds were nice and well kept.

Liked: Cleanliness
Liked the exterior, gardens and the loumge with lovely open fire. The modern part was clean but unexceptional. The rooms were large clean and comfortable. An accessible bathroom and walk in shower would have been more suitable for our needs but the bath with inclusive shower would have been acceptable for most people. Overall very comfortable with lovely views over the surrounding countryside.

Lovely place in the Lake district
We had a lovely stay with my family - enjoyed the beautiful scenery around, the neat rooms and a good breakfast. We would come back again.
Really lovely stay, the grounds are amazing.
The room was really clean and the breakfast was fantastic!
We loved the added extra of the pool facilities, lovely way to start a day off
Can't wait to return in the future
We often choose to stay at the Damson Dene because of the delicious food, it brings us back - bravo Stefano, consistency of super menu choices, really tasty and well presented food. Service always excellent too, staff make this place !
Breakfast and Dinner excellent and we were well looked after. Spa facilities were good. Gym was OK, apart from the availability of cleaning materials for wiping down equipment after use.

Decent hotel, a little dated in areas ie gym/sauna/pool area but worth the visit.
Pleasant staff and helpful, great location, plenty of places to visit.
Need a little refreshment for the rooms and building, otherwise great accommodation.
Definitely recommend.
