I never write reviews but I just had to write something about our weekend at Damson View. Howard and Carole are amazing, they made us feel very welcome. For me, it was like a piece of heaven. Even the beautiful stars were out at night. The chickens and the cows - wow, for me that was something else. The pod is perfect, you guys thought of everything. The weekend was spot on, even the weather was on our side. We had a fabulous time, thank you so much. We will definitely be back x

We spent three nights here during August and had a lovely time. The views are amazing and the location is great, being halfway between Kendal and Windermere. Carole and Howard were lovely and the facilities are brilliant. We enjoyed a BBQ when the weather was good and the pods felt very private even with other pods in use. We will be recommending to family and friends!
