Starting to look a bit tired and in need of a refresh. Dinner was lovely in the evening, however breakfast was disappointing, layout was poor, with no coffee options ! Spa was nice and included in the price.

The Daffodil is conveniently located for easy access to Grasmere and the nearby lakes. It is ideal for a walking holiday and is surrounded by the beautiful Lakeland fells and lakes. The hotel staff are friendly and the hotel offers a good menu with a range of meals at reasonable prices.

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.

Sophie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were superb and really made us feel welcome. The food was delicious and expertly prepared. The only blemishes were a table in our room that was damaged and should have been replaced plus there was a little mould on the shower sealant. Overall, an excellent hotel and we will definitely stay there again.

Amazing hotel with a perfect location. Room was very clean and comfortable. Also staff were very helpful and friendly. We highly recommend this great hotel.
Engin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
