"A lovely experience from the start. Nice room, bright and clean. Comfortable beds, good breakfast and lovely evening meal. Staff friendly and polite. Certainly value for money. We will be returning soon."
Lake Windermere is a 10-minute drive from the Damson Dene Hotel. So too is Bowness-on-Windermere for The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and lake cruises.
The hotel takes its name from the damson tree orchards found throughout the Lyth Valley. Admire the pastoral landscapes from the hotel’s landscaped gardens or Heron View restaurant.
Leisure facilities include an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and gym. Treatments can be booked (at a supplement) at the Indulgence Beauty Rooms.
The Lakeland Model Village is a family attraction located in the hotel’s grounds. It features several dozen handcrafted buildings that replicate some of Cumbria's most iconic farms and cottages. Tickets are included for Travelzoo Members.
For stunning views, hike in Whitbarrow National Nature Reserve or climb Orrest Head. Both are within 15 minutes' drive of the hotel.

We had a very warm welcome at the hotel. The staff are a very friendly group of people. The food in the evening was excellent- better than we had expected with a great choice every evening.
Breakfast was ok - the continental choice was limited but what there was was very well done so no complaints.
Our only regret was that we did not upgrade our room. The “ cosy” double is incredibly small with a very tiny en-suite. This meant we spent more time in the lounge area than we normally would but the log fire was made sitting in the lounge very comfortable. If the weather had been better the gardens looked very inviting and we would have enjoyed spending time sitting outside with a glass of wine.
Would definitely return to the hotel but would upgrade the room to a higher standard than what was offered in the deal. I’m

Nice staff, meal was quite nice but the mushroom starter served on crumpet was just random.
We had a small and very noisy room. The friends we travelled with were allocated a huge, quieter and much more comfortable room which was great for them but left us completely deflated and underwhelmed with ours. I would only return if I was not placed in that room again as it was so noisy and hot. Overall it was quite good value. Breakfast was just ok.

Excellent value for money. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Beautiful situation. Food very good, a lovely garden to saunter in with a pond and ducks. Yes, the room and bathroom were small and bathroom a little tired but for the price of £129 per couple including a meal voucher of £30 each and a bottle of fizz in the room we would definitely visit again.

Excellent hotel with great staff.
We took advantage of a room upgrade which we felt was well worth it.
Food was excellent with plenty of choice.
Wouldn’t hesitate to return which we are planning to do later in the summer.
Hotel is in a country location 10 mins drive from Bowness surrounded by rolling hills….beautiful location with views over valley from the extensive terraces.

Would have liked there to be bedrooms that do not allow dogs in. I have an asthma and although the room was clean, dog hairs get into the carpet.

The rooms were not very sound-proof and the people next door were very noisy. The main restaurant could do with 'softening' to give it a bit more atmosphere, plants etc. If not sat at the window then you are in a large empty room that is obviously designed for functions so a bit cold and lacking in ambience.
