Excellent stay
Attentive staff, lovely food, lovely clean room. Spa was nice, but a bit small. The only issue was on check-in…" The toilet seat in our room was seriously cracked / dangerous, and as no maintenance personnel were available, we had to change room. Efficiently resolved, but wasn’t something we should have had to deal with.

Perfect location
The dinner was delicious, breakfast not the best. Spa we really enjoyed it. The room is comfortable however, the carpet is very dirty and needs a good clean. The location was perfect.

Fantastic winter break.
Lovely hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful - receptionist showed us several rooms when we enquired about an upgrade, and gave us a lake view for £20 extra. Food allowance was ample and meal was excellent. Lovely breakfast. Really enjoyed the spa and the a candlelit back massage. Loves all the unique and quirky art all around the hotel. We will definitely return.

Lovely stay in a beautiful place
Fantastic hotel and spa. Perfect location for some scenic walking and a very pretty village, with a few towns just a short drive away. The staff at the hotel were all extremely polite and helpful. The room was lovely, clean and well equipped (home from home), with some fantastic views. The breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious. This was our second visit and we will definitely be back again ☺️

Great hotel with good facilities, friendly staff
Our stay at the Daffodil hotel was really good. The room had a really disappointing view but we did pay for the cheapest room. But the room itself was really comfortable and nice. The breakfast was brilliant and exceeded expectations. The service in the restaurant was very good as well, they also catered for gluten free which is unusual. It was a shame that the lobby bar was closed almost every time we walked past it despite it supposed to be open until midnight. The spa was lovely, great steam room and sauna and hot pool. A real treat after we walked up scafell pike! Shame that when we checked out the guy behind reception was not particularly friendly and seemed annoyed that we wanted to pay for our bill with cash. But that was the only poor service we received in the whole weekend. I’d recommend the daffodil, friendly service, good facilities and a great location for exploring the Lake District.

Beautiful location on a lake, lovely grassed area with chairs & lounges on the terrace. Scrumptious continental and cooked breakfast. Had a peaceful lounge/bar where you could order food. Also a spa pool, sauna & steam room free for guests, paid treatments available.
