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.

Lovely stay at the Daffodil to celebrate our Anniversary. The staff are excellent and very professional especially in the restaurant. Amazing dinners on both evenings, hats off to the Chef, Michelin Star quality. Just one anomaly they is no mirror in the room to dry hair & put on makeup, just one in the bathroom where there are no plugs! A full length mirror would be good. We had a Lake view room which was excellent, more toiletries required as they didn’t get replenished on our 2nd day. Beautiful grounds and surroundings, well situated for the village of Grasmere, a 5 min walk which was ideal. We will certainly be back. Thank you Daffodil.

A nice clean hotel
The hotel is very clean. Most of staff are not at all friendly. I was disappointed with the spa, it was very dark in all the rooms. The bed room was clean and the cleaning team were all friendly.
