About Damson Dene Hotel
Damson Dene Hotel sits back from the lanes of Crosthwaite, in the rolling countryside just outside Bowness-on-Windermere, with the fells and dales of the Lake District spreading out on all sides. It is the kind of spot where the surrounding hills and quiet roads do most of the work, offering walking and cycling straight from the door and easy reach of the lake itself for watersports.
The hotel has 58 rooms across three floors, served by a lift, and including family rooms and accessible rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Guests can order drinks to their room or room service more generally, and there's a bridal suite for those marrying at the hotel, which also operates as a wedding venue with meeting rooms available for other events. A restaurant and bar cover meals on-site, with kids' meals and packed lunches on offer, and breakfast included as part of the stay.
Beyond the rooms, there's a proper spread of facilities: an indoor swimming pool, gym, spa and sauna, plus a garden and outdoor seating for slower moments. Free on-site parking makes it a straightforward base for exploring further afield, while golf, pubs and other restaurants are all within reach nearby. Pets are welcome, and laundry service is available for longer stays.
