Really great staff and dog friendly!

Had a short break at the Damson Dene and they were really brilliant accommodating me and my older dog. We got a ground floor room with lots of space for her bed and things. Pros: Geat wifi and the water pressure in the shower was amazing. Lovely gardens. Very helpful staff. Plentiful breakfast buffet (basic fried selection and cereal etc) Cons: Slightly unloved decor. Food in the restaurant was hit and miss.

Only stayed one night. Lovely quiet setting. The whole place has character. Staff were great and friendly, very accommodating. Beautiful views from the restaurant and bar of the gardens. Room was nice, tidy and clean although a little warm for my liking. Will be back for another stay soon!

A lovely stay at the Damson Dene Hotel

We had a great 6 day stay at the Damson Dene. All the staff are super friendly. Had a couple of SPA treatments with Sharon, they were amazing and so reasonable priced. The food in the hotel was superb. The breakfast was plentiful and the evening meals were delicious. The only issue we had was with housekeeping. Over the six days we were there they only made up our room twice. Once we did put the "do not disturb" up as my husband wasn't feeling great. I had to request for them to go in on day 5 and then again they didn't go in on day 6. The hotel did apologise but it was very frustrating.

Poor experience for family stay

Poor consideration for family, given a room way farside corner, guests with dogs were neighbours, dogs kept barking and couldnt sleep well. Corridor carpet had dog poop not cleaned for hours. If not booked for breakfast/dinner the wait time is 1 hour. Staff not friendly. Pool & jacuzzi substandard.
