Just spent a great week-end at the Damson Dene.The staff were polite,friendly and very welcoming.The food was great and it was nice to have the option to dine in the restaurant or in the bar/lounge.The grounds were very relaxing to either sit or sunbathe,and the use of the pool and facilities were very enjoyable.Thanks Wayne and to all your colleagues...

My partner and I have just spent three nights at the Damson Dene Hotel, the room was lovely with a very comfortable four poster bed, flat screen TV and a Jacuzzi bath, and whilst the hotel does look a little tired in parts, it's clean, comfortable and welcoming. The hotel is surrounded by green countryside, beautiful views from all sides... More

If you saw it, this hotel was subject of a TV fly on the wall documentary series with Wayne the hotel manager at its centre. The programme exposed the management and staff to deep scrutiny and did not do them justice. Wayne is clearly a very good manager and the staff are amongst the best i have seen in the... More

We have just returned from 4 nights at the hotel. We were on a cultural tour of the Lake District and were a party of 25. Everyone enjoyed their time at the hotel and particular mention was made of the helpfulness and cheeriness of the staff and the quality and quantity of the food. We would definitely use the hotel...

We have just returned from a one night stay at this hotel last week. I booked this hotel for a one night bed breakfast and evening meal as a surprise for our 10th wedding anniversary. We had not been to the hotel since we had our wedding reception there 10 years earlier, so it was very nostalgic for us. Anyway... More
