Damson Dene Hotel

“Lovely hotel but needs some TLC”

The hotel itself is tired in places and could do with refurbishment and updating. In particular the pool area- the jacuzzi works but the water level felt low to me.

The hotel itself is tired in places and could do with refurbishment and updating. In particular the pool area- the jacuzzi works but the water level felt low to me. The sauna and steam work but it felt cooler than others that I have been in. Being a member of a leisure club here in Newcastle. The changing areas reminded me of school and £1 coins needed for the locker. But only some of them worked. Our room was a superior one and it was huge including a bath and shower in the bathroom. The bed itself was large and comfy. We only had breakfast but it was very good. Hot options were delicious and high quality. There was freshly baked croissants etc available too. The hotel is a bit of a labyrinth, with us having to go down stairs along some stairs then back up two flights to get to our room 🤣. Huge grounds ideal for the dogs that were at the hotel too. If some money is injected into the spa and communal areas this would be an amazing hotel

“Catch 22, pleasant surroundings and Restaurant, not so the Room and Bathroom for the Cost!!”

The Restaurant, Bar Food and Staff were very good. However, our Room (27) was small especially the Bathroom (IE: someone has gone for quantity instead of quality). This did not matter too much as the view from the window was pleasant. However, the worst aspect was the lack of Hot Water. We was told… lisää

The Restaurant, Bar Food and Staff were very good. However, our Room (27) was small especially the Bathroom (IE: someone has gone for quantity instead of quality). This did not matter too much as the view from the window was pleasant. However, the worst aspect was the lack of Hot Water. We was told to run the water for longer as the building and plumbing is old. After about 15 minutes and such a waste of water it was luke warm. This needs sorting and as we was in a cold snap not pleasant. We would be very doubtful of going back there!!

“Good Hotel with average food.”

Having stayed at Damson Dene several times we still enjoy the Hotel and it's outlook. Because we eat in every night we find the menu somewhat restrictive. Plain wholesome food is best and cheaper. The fish and chips came with far to much cooking oil dripping from them; the Damson Dene burger at 6 … lisää

Having stayed at Damson Dene several times we still enjoy the Hotel and it's outlook. Because we eat in every night we find the menu somewhat restrictive. Plain wholesome food is best and cheaper. The fish and chips came with far to much cooking oil dripping from them; the Damson Dene burger at 6 inches high was ridiculous and not at all appetising, I left most of it despite the £17.50 price tag. It's time for the menu to reflect the best of Lancashire and Cumbria cuisine at sensible prices.

“Amazon staff”

Staff were very nice and friendly, the hotel and spa needs updating. Breakfast was very nice with very good quality ingredients. The restaurant feels like a dated restaurant with chefs that don’t know how to cook good quality food. The area is a very nice 😊 pace with amazing views
