I loved the view over Lake Windmere, the room was so clean and the room had a bathtub which I appreciated after a long journey.

We liked the location, facility inside the hotel, the family suite which was having good privacy. The view outside the room was amazing particularly while enjoying the hot tub. Breakfast was good, we enjoyed every bit of it. Plenty of parking space.

The location, high above Lake Windermere, is wonderful - away from the touristy center of Bowness. The gardens and towering rhododendrons are spectacular. Our room had a lovely lake view. The staff was exceptionally accommodating. Loved the tartan carpets, the view from the dining room, and the great selection of books and magazines in the reading room. Wonderful, sugary home baked shortbread cookies in our room every day.
Set in private grounds above Lake Windermere, Aphrodites Group offers luxury themed suites with spa baths or private hot tubs. There is free parking and free Wi-Fi throughout.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Breakfast is amazing as well as other meals. Such a wonderful place to stay and our dogs were very welcomed. Will definitely stay again as close to Windermere and Ambleside making them great days out

The cottage was absolutely beautiful, a real home from home.
The cottage was absolutely beautiful, a real home from home. It was equipped with everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Views from the cottage were lovely looking over the countryside. The garden was nice although we didn't sit out but is ideal for anyone with children or dogs as its fully enclosed. The roads to the cottage were quite narrow but certainly didn't put us off, as this is the case with a lot of roads in the area. It was ideally located 15 mins from Windermere and same to Kendal. Would recommend the Old Watermill pub for eating out, they are dog friendly and the food is beautiful but not too pricey. Will definitely book again.

The facilities are dated and all be aware the dogs are noisy especially if left in rooms on their own , and with being a dog friendly hotel , it should be identified that the rooms are not up to the cleanliness of a normal hotel, any movement in the night, the dogs bark and when one starts, they all go for it.

We loved the location but you need transport. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a rural location this is a great location.
It is only a 15 min drive into Bowness so a busier, tourist location is nearby. The location is good for both central and south Lakes. We would recommend.

Not much to say because there isn't much in the village except a very nice pub/restaurant. However, returning to the solitude of the village after a day with the tourist masses in Windermere, Ambleside etc is welcome. There are some lovely walks around the village into the hills, though we didn't tread them on this occasion.

Liked that the location although it seemed a bit out of the way was very tranquil, and considering how busy bowness was, it was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle, but a good location for driving to and from the lakes. The hotel itself in parts looked a bit dated, but was very clean, pool and steam room were good, didn't use the gym so can't comment, overall it is a hotel I would definitely return to.
The location is stunning with beautiful gardens and scenery. Dinner at the bar was lovely and I was blown away with how pet-friendly the hotel was. Our dog was allowed to go everywhere that we went, including to dinner/breakfast. There is a lovely pond with ducks and ample space for children to play, dogs to play, picnics, etc. The menu had a good variety of options and despite COVID, it was easy to order items from the bar, etc. Well done :)
The 2nd room we were given was a vast improvement on the first which was shocking. We paid £195 per night and were shown into a small dank room with a broken dressing table a tiny grubby bathroom. We had to stay in this room for 1 out of our 3 night stay. The subsequent room was an improvement, a decent size and a much larger bathroom which was clean and well maintained. The hotel waiting staff were excellent, very friendly and efficient.
The hotel staff were great. Pleasant, helpful, and friendly. The location was a little hard to get to, but close to Lake Windemere, but on a heavy traffic narrow road. However the food was very good. Breakfasts were good and promply served and the dinners were excellent and generous portions. The setting was scenic and quiet.. It was a pleasant stay overall, in spite of the accessibility issues.
Everything about this hotel was perfect!
Beautiful building, interia decoration and furnishings.
Calm and relaxing ambiance!
Food was exceptional.
Staff are most friendly and welcoming!
This place has everything you need and more.
I will be returning whenever I next visit the lakes.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
The hotel is a little out of the way but would 100% recommend.
The spa facilities (gym, pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi) were included in the price.
Breakfast was very nice and having the ducks at the window was a nice touch.
The garden with duck pond and fountain etc was nice to walk around in the evenings.
All of the reception and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The evening meals and breakfast were delicious with plenty of choice. The views across the hotel grounds and the Lyth valley are idyllic, a tranquil place to rest after a days exploring various areas across the Lakeland national park.
The hotel is in a beautiful setting. Very picturesque place. Our rooms were really lovely. I travelled with my sister in law and we both had a room with a four poster bed. Lovely en-suites. Great place for getting into windermere and surrounding areas.
Staff were lovely. Food was great.
It is set in idyllic grounds with ample parking.
The hotel has a leisure facility, gym, pool, jacuzzi and steam room
The bar and restaurant are excellent, providing good food and drinks at very reasonable prices.
ALL the staff were absolutely brilliant.
The breakfast was lovely and high quality and the staff were all very friendly, especially with our little girl. There were tea and coffee making facilities in room and the hotel is in a very lovely location
The Damson Dene hotel is a nice place to stay with lovely views from the restaurant at back of the hotel .
The food is very good and at reasonable price and the breakfast. So would recommend it!!
