A lovely hotel just what I wanted to relax a little, staff were friendly, food was great maybe a little expensive but what I had I enjoyed. Breakfast was buffet style. Lovely location for a walk around the lake of grasmere and rydal water and also the rydal caves. Close to dove cottage and church Wordsworth connection. Would recommend to stay and hopefully I’ll be back myself 😃

Spa break weekend

The location and staff were amazing as was the unlimited breakfast!!! Dinner options were a tad pricey and limited choices with no bar snacks etc. The room was very clean but the mattress was showing its age with springs being felt coming through. The Spa is nice but again showing its age with tiles missing in the pool and obvious repairs here and there. The jets also were on a timer which needed constant restarting. We did notice a medical plaster left on the side of the pool for over 36 hours so not sure on the cleanliness of this area. The cushions of the loungers were also very soft/dated and needed replacing really. Overall very nice but search various sites for prices as we found varying levels with some over £100 more per night.

Simply “a must” place to stop

Loved the hotel and facilities. The Room had a wonderful view of the lake and was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The restaurant was wonderful and the food fantastic. The biggest and best part of our stay were the staff. Friendly, attentive, and helpful. A huge plus for the hotel.

Really nice place to relax and unwind. The hotel room was nice, minor damage related wear and tear. Bed was really comfortable. Food on the other hand was basic apart from a few set dishes. Staff, very helpful and friendly. Would recommend

Wonderful hotel and spa with a great aspect across Grasmere. The staff were all friendly, professional and contributed to a lovely stay. Only a short walk to Grasmere village and some decent hikes on the doorstep.

Well appointed hotel with nice spa.

An excellent 2 night stay at The Daffodil Hotel. Friendly, helpful staff and a very well appointed hotel. It was nice to use the spa facilities after a long (rainy) walk around the lakes.

We stayed to celebrate my husbands 60th Birthday and although we had a slight issue with the booking (expedia’s fault not theirs) the staff were brilliant upgrading our room and leaving a lovely card and chocolates for my husband. Also after dinner they presented my husband with a Happy Birthday plate with fruit and chocolates. The spa pool was lovely and relaxing. All the hotel staff were very friendly and chatty. We will definitely go back again.

Nice hotel but improvements could be made

Had an enjoyable stay, however, spa pool wasn't the warmest but ok. Food choice limited and the mains expensive and food very rich. I had lamb and felt it need some green beans or something as very sweet. The bed was a bit uncomfortable as could feel springs.
