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.

This hotel is set in its own grounds which is very nice to spend time some time in on a nice day. My room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom had an excellent showera. It was very hot and the windows only open a few inches, no AC so on a hot day trying to sleep was uncomfortable. I had dinner at the hotel and it was decent, a bit overpriced for the quality though. Breakfast was good overall. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

Really great staff and dog friendly!

Had a short break at the Damson Dene and they were really brilliant accommodating me and my older dog. We got a ground floor room with lots of space for her bed and things. Pros: Geat wifi and the water pressure in the shower was amazing. Lovely gardens. Very helpful staff. Plentiful breakfast buffet (basic fried selection and cereal etc) Cons: Slightly unloved decor. Food in the restaurant was hit and miss.

We enjoyed staying in the property. We had a car and can visit all the Lake District attractions from the location. The view of the hotel was superb and manage to take some nice snaps. English Breakfast was included and the hospitality was superb. I faced flush issue with the toilet but the hotel has resolved the issue within quick turnaround time. Very impressed with the quick resolving of this issue. The room service was also good with general toiletries, room cleaning and towels changed on a daily basis. I would like to extend my thanks to the hotel management for making our holiday memorable. Regards Konark
