Relaxing Holiday at Damson Lodge

Very enjoyable 5 day break at Damson Lodge. Very close to both the park reception and facilities as well as Lake Windermere. The lodge was clean on our arrival and was very homely. It was warm and comfy and the beds were very comfortable. Although we took our own cleaning kit to keep it tidy during our stay there were cleaning items under the sink as well as spare tea bags and coffee. The large fridge freezer came in handy for the lovely items we purchased during our break. The enclosed decking was safe and secure for the dog and the hot tub was fantastic. We had a great time and hope to return again next year.

Perfect retreat for couples or families who love to take their pet on holiday

Lovely lodge, every thing we needed. Man came every day to check levels of the hot tub, this was nice and private. It was very clean and in good condition, ive had dog friendly accomadation before and has been tatty around the edges, but this was well looked after and no doggy smells. If i had any advice for the owner it would be a shoe/boot rack by the front door. We put ours on newspaper, and a towel ready for our dog, but some visitors had obviously not taken care with the beige carpet in the bedroom. Other than that, it was great, good location, nice friendly site.

A very enjoyable stay

Our stay at Damson Lodge was very enjoyable. The location of the lodge in the park was good just a short walk to the clubhouse and the marina. I booked the lodge for 4 adults. The main bedroom was excellent but the second bedroom was too small for 2 adults would be ok for children. It slept a family of 4 rather than 4 adults. It was good to have the hot tub after a days walking a real bonus.

Damson Lodge

This is our 4th time of staying at this Lodge and once again it didn’t disappoint. The Lodge has benefitted from a recent makeover and if anything makes it even more enjoyable staying here. The park itself is ideally situated between Windermere and Ambleside and not to far from Keswick which is one of our favourite places to visit. Also on the must do list is a visit to Grasmere and the Gingerbread shop is highly recommended. Batteries recharged and already looking forward to our next visit to The Lakes.
