With open log fires and beautiful oak beams, Damson Dene Hotel features a luxury spa, beautiful landscaped gardens and a traditional restaurant. Windermere is just a 15-minute drive away.

The Damson Dene Leisure Centre features an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. There is also a fitness centre and beauty rooms, offering a range of indulgent treatments.

Loved everything about this property. The room was very spacious, clean, and have a beautiful view of the backyard which was stunning. We had access to the backyard so it was really nice to sit outside and chill. Bathroom was big, clean and had a jacuzzi tub and hot water was available at all times. This property has a nice lobby, but I suppose the reception is not available 24 hours. We had booked our breakfast in the hotel and I must say breakfast was very good with a variety of options to choose from. The view from the restaurant window is mesmerising. Staff was very courteous indeed.

Just a mile from Lake Windermere in the heart of the Lake District, this luxury boutique hotel offers home-cooked food and free Wi-Fi. Windermere Rail Station is only 15 minutes’ walk away, and there is free parking on site.

Rooms all feature a large widescreen TV with satellite channels, a DVD player, and a king-size bed and luxury bathroom. Some luxury suites have outdoor hot tubs and seating areas.

Overall, everything was perfect. The room was large enough, the supplies were sufficient, and the service staff were very kind and tried their best to meet all our needs during our stay. I have to mention Charlie, he is seriously the funniest person I have ever met in the UK. The hot tub should be the biggest feature of this hotel. My wife and I enjoyed it for three whole days and were very satisfied. The price/performance ratio is very good. The hotel is located in the middle of the two towns of Bowness and Windermere, and it is very convenient to walk to both towns. In any case, I will definitely recommend this hotel next time I come to the Lake District, or if my friends want to travel to the Lake District.

    Third time staying here, always 10 out of 10. Staff are friendly, with a glass of prosecco on arrival (mulled wine at Christmas time). Rooms are really nice and clean (have only stayed in rooms with a hot tub). The hot tub on the balcony is good to relax in if that's what you like or you can go round the town which is only a 5 minute walk away. The best part is the pub/spa. All the luxuries of a spa but with the addition of a bar. Breakfast in the morning is really nice too.

    We stayed on the first floor which was perfect. I liked the little gifts of products left by the maids on the bed. The breakfast was very tasty and catered for everyone. All rooms such as the cocktail bar and lounge were lovely to sit in. The bar was relaxing. The spa had a lot of facilities such as steam & saunas and had a very calming atmosphere. I liked the little basket in the room to use for the spa! The fusion restaurant is a must with sharing plates well worth a visit.

    Lovely, quaint and delightful hotel in a stunning location. Lovely pool area, with a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and gym. We all had a lovely, relaxing and energising massage from Sharon. The roaring log fire, lovely breakfast, and attentive staff made this is a wonderful stay.

    We had a double room with a hot tub (room 117). The room itself was very comfortable, spotless and had a huge bed. The hot tub on the balcony was superb and really made our stay that bit more special. The spa itself is nice enough and the treatments were great - we both had the neck, shoulder and back massage and felt very relaxed afterwards.

    The spa hotel was excellent. We came for my birthday and had the most relaxing stay. The spa was amazing, we spent a lot of time there. Breakfast was delicious and great value for money. The staff were always happy to help and very friendly. We received a glass of champagne on arrival, and there was a birthday card waiting in our apartment, as it was my birthday!

    The Cozy double was bigger than I thought with the pictures which was good for the money spent, I enjoyed the bar within the spa and my girlfriend loved the spa area and her pregnancy massage. the patio area at the bar was great with fire pits for a relaxing night cap. The breakfast was great and staff were amazing.
