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.

Good location with excellent walks from the hotel. Lacked the character we expected given the age of the building. The upstairs main bar area needs a different layout and an uprgrade.

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.
