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

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

We have just returned from a 2 night stay that included dinner. The food was fabulous, the staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The location of the hotel was great for acessing Winderemere and was far enough away from the hussle and bussle so we could relax in the evenings. This is our second visit with South Lake... More
