Damson Lodge Reviews

Rachel

Property is in need of repair , the decking outside is very uneven , part of it taped off , definite trip hazard in places , needs a jet wash and repair. Inside the property is very dated , a cloud of dust in the main bedroom drawers but everywhere else was clean , vacuum does not work , not picking up . I would look at other dog friendly lodges on the park as ideal location, staff very friendly on site and good facilities

The lodge was lovely. The decking could be doing with an upgradenas some of it has sunk and was a uneven in parts. The hot tub has no privacy but apart from that it was really good.

Excellent 4 night stay at Dansom Lodge. Great Location that is central to Ambleside, Windermere and Bowness. Considering this is a pet friendly lodge it was very clean and well maintained and all for a very good price when you compare to other lodges in the area. Hot tub was cleaned and maintained daily too.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Damson Lodge, White Cross Bay and we are looking forward to hopefully returning next year. The lodge was lovely inside clean, tidy and so spacious. The full size sofas were comfy as were the beds. The entire lodge including the bathrooms were really clean. It made me so happy that the lodge was pet friendly as well. The hot tub was a lovely addition after long days of walking around the lakes. It was fab that the lodge had towels, dish towels and cleaning products inside. The decking outside was massive and the kids and our dog loved this area to play on. The site is beautiful and it was really quiet which we loved none of us including our kids like noise so it was absolutely perfect for us. We actually loved the area so much we booked another lodge to extend our stay if Damson Lodge had been available we would absolutely have booked for longer! Thank you for a wonderful break and we look forward to returning next year.

Toilets very low. Could have privacy screen around hot tub. Wi fi needs improving. Air conditioning or fans needed. Tin opener didn't work. Would be nice to have a bar or pub for adults only.

Kathryn

The lodge is very tired and needs some TLC. The decking is very uneven in places, a definite stumblingtrip hazard. The hot tub was freezing and unable to be used on the first day and no answer on the number in the file, but fine thereafter. However as we left it was topped up so definitely not cleaned properly between guests which is poor. Some areas inside were dusty and marks on the carpets and one window blown. Comfy beds and quiet and peaceful so still a relaxing break.

Damson Lodge was everything we'd hope for. The cabin was clean and well equipped. The Hot Tub was an added bonus and so relaxing. We didn't use any other of the clubs facilities as we wanted a relaxed weekend away from hussal and noise. It was lovely to walk our Dog around the camp and to the lake nearby. We would definitely recommend this to anyone and would love to return next year. The location was perfect for exploring the area and there was a handy bus service nearby. T

Myself and my partner were lucky enough to have stumbled upon this gem of a lodge! Well stocked, well furnished and so comfortable. Was like a home from home. The weather was incredible which helped . Decking was well furnished, lovely comfortable furniture and an INCREDIBLE hot tub which was the icing on the lodge cake. A friend was staying on the park with his 2 pooches and when they came to visit the dogs had a great time on the secure decking. We don't have dogs but very dog friendly. Highly recommend and definitely staying again!

Amanda

A lovely, well equipped lodge. We enjoyed the hot tub and found several walks which were a short drive away.

Amazing stay in Damson Lodge. Accuracy of listing was actually better than expected, with new decor and furniture. Hot Tub tech also told us we were the first to use the new hot tub which was special . The master suite was the comfiest bed I've stayed in. The lodge was spotlessly clean, warm and spacious. There were a few games, along with a wide rage of DVD's for the quieter nights. Used the park restaurant on a couple of occasions which was really good. Great food and staff were friendly. Everything we could have needed. Highly recommend. Looking again for later in the year!

Hi The Patio Doors on the rear wouldn't open . this meant that we had to use the Front door for Access to the Hot Tub . Other than that we really enjoyed the Holiday . 3rd year running and about to book again for next year . Many Thanks

Davina

Overall we liked our stay at the Lodge, great location, good site facilities. The main bathroom had a weird strong smell to it, at first we thought bleach but it didnt shift so we didnt use it the stay which wasnt a massive problem as we had the en suite. Feel the lodge could do with a general revamp. Hot tub didnt work first night so Id messaged about it, didnt get a reply although wed then realised it had been refilled which was why it wasnt working. I got a good deal on the lodge but wouldnt have wanted to pay a huge amount to stay here.

Nicola

Our week away was excellent. White Cross Bay park itself was great good food in the restaurant. Staff in the restaurantbar were very helpful and friendly. The majority of the lodge was very clean. There were just a couple of things that let it down slightly. Parts of the kitchen were definitely not very clean, the microwave, the top of the cooker was very dirty and there were dried food marks on the kitchen tops. We felt parts of the lodge just needed a bit of TLC, some of the window handles were very loose, the backs of the sofas had gone, so you felt like you were half lying down when sat on them. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. The hot tub was brilliant. Besides a few issues, we would go back and stay there again.

The lodge was perfect. Very clean and well equipped everything we needed for our stay. The only let down was the upkeep of the outside deck area. It is dangerously slippery in places, even in warm dry conditions. It also feels unstable in certain areas and is in need of a good jet wash and general attention. Also, the guttering above the door is blocked causing rain to drip on you as you lock up. Minor issue but just needs addressing. Overall we had a lovely stay, if these fairly quick wins were sorted it would be perfect.

Bejamin

Fantastic stay! Loved every minute worth every penny! Such a spacious lodge! Everything we needed was there. Hot tub bonus kids loved it! Beautiful area! Would 100 come back! Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Richard

We booked this lodge based on previous reviews and sadly it did not meet our expectations. On arrival the lodge was warm and appeared clean we later discovered the microwave was filthy and on using the hob grease actually dripped down from the cooker hood. We cleaned this to make it usable and reported to the cleaning ladies who assured us they would do a deep clean for the incoming guests. The lodge is very well equipped and the towels and bedding were really lovely. However the lodge is in need of some TLC. There are some marks on the wallpaper in several areas and the dining chairs are badly marked. The outside area is very well furnished but the decking and surrounding railings need repair work. we had to use a recliner against the railings to ensure our dog did not escape. The hot tub was well serviced on a daily basis but the brambles growing through the fence into this area made it a challenge to remove the cover without getting scratched. All the PAT tests on the electrical equipment expired in January 2024 not a legal requirement we know but reassuring to guests that they are staying in a safe property. We don't feel we could recommend this lodge unless some time and money is spent bringing it up to standard!

Lovely holiday park ran by Parkdean Resorts. Clean and well kept.The barclubhouse was good, food was reasonably priced and was quite tasty. The beer did taste odd for the 1st couple of days we went in, but i think the pipes were cleaned and was much better after. The lodge it's self was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Hot tub is well maintained with 2 visits per day to check rhe pH levels. And when checked out it was emptied and cleaned. The mattress in the master bedroom was far too soft for us though, but that's just one small minor and everything else outweighed this.

Gillian

We booked for 4 nights in Damson Lodge and were really pleased with our accommodation. Lovely big living space, 2 good size bedrooms especially the master the Huge bath was great, and a well equipped kitchen. The outside area was ideal and secure for the dogs . All in all a very pleasant experience.

Shirley

1 shower mixer valve was loose and caused issues with showering. Lamp in bedroom was flickering. Knives for cutting meatvegetables were blunt.

Holiday was superb with everything supplied and in good quality condition. Hot tub was lovely and warm for our arrival and stayed that way throughout our stay! Only downside was on the morning of our departure the water went off at approx 0915am meaning we couldn't use the toilet or fill our water bottles up prior to checkout at 10am.

Cheryl

Lovely Lodge, very clean.

The lodge was lovely clean and situated perfectly to reach Ambleside and Boness bus stop right outside. ..I think the only things you could improve on is a new kettle, some better quality pillows as these were very flat,maybe leave a spare throw or duvet for the beds as it dud get a little chilly, ..Also bus times would be very handy . But a brilliant stay Damson lodge was lovely, can't wait to come back ,thank you.

Lovely and warm on arrival, the lodge was spacious, great quality furnishings, everything you need. The towels and bedding were very good quality, clean and smelled nice. We were expecting bad WiFi and tv signals as weve stayed in a different part of the park but no all was well. The hot tub was lovely and relaxing. We had a fantastic break and would definitely book again. Its personal taste but I found the pillows too flat and the double mattress too soft but everything else was just perfect. I was very impressed at the cleanliness of the lodge. Definitely worth 5 stars

Everything was beautifully presented and we would not hesitate to book again if available because the position of it was wonderful. Thank you

The cabin was excellent value for its money very clean n the beds n sheets were ... The cabin was excellent value for its money very clean n the beds n sheets were very comfortable The hot tub was hot and in excellent working condition n clean Definitely recommend and book again soon

Tracie

We stayed here last year and enjoyed the lodge so that's why we came back this year . Ready to book again for next year . This lodge has excellent features and the Hot Tub is great even at the end of November

Couldnt fault anything It was really inviting when we first walked in as the lamps and heating was already on Very clean Very happy with everything. Will definitely be coming again.

Pauline

The property could do with new frying pans, and hooks for coats at the main door, also a couple of in the bedrooms. Not very private if someone occupying the next door property.

Very nice no complaints

The property was on the whole to a high standard. Inside was great, apart from a few dated utensils. Sofas acceptable although could be a little bigger as quite shallow and not as comfortable. Windows and doors are getting tired and are stiff and difficult to open and close. An annoying drip over the front door from a compromised gutter. Parkdean didnt seem happy to help, when the lady on reception realised we hadnt booked with them direct. However, I would book again, great lodge position and super clean. Comfortable beds, good size fridge freezer , etc. Clean carpets, no smell and tasteful finishes. Key box is awkward if motor skills are not 100 or a customer is disabled! Took us a few attempts to open it. Hot tub was clean, water level did drop the day before we left. Obviously it wasnt refilled as this would have reduced the temperature. Plenty of seating around the outside space, decking was slippy due to the rain in the night. The area outside the front door remained safe as this was different material and maybe in the future the whole decking area would benefit from this upgrade. We were careful so no problem but if used by children could be a problem. Loved our stay at Damson Lodge thank you. The above is only feed back and not intended to offend or complain

Lesley

The lodge was clean the bed was extremely comfortable however its a little tired and would benefit from upgrading a few things. The decking is spongy in areas and bannisters loose, the toilet roll holders are loose and the light in the bathroom taped up. The door handles on main doors were stiff and having arthritic hands made getting in and out difficult. Hot tub was good and clean. In view of cost for a weeks holiday we would expect a bit more, sorry wont be returning

Andrew

Ecking in dire need of maintenance several rotten sections, handrail on steps is loose and provides no support, large sections of railings are loose and broken and there is a hole in the decking at the rear of the property covered over by a piece of fake grass this in itself is extremely dangerous.
