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.
