What guests think
At The Daffodil Hotel & Spa, travellers consistently praise the scenic lakeside setting with easy walks to Grasmere and a relaxing spa that feels especially rewarding after busy days exploring the fells.
Rooms are often spacious and comfortable with lake or mountain outlooks, though some note firm or aging mattresses, awkward storage or limited mirrors, and occasional maintenance issues. Guests frequently enjoy dinner and afternoon tea, but menus can feel limited, some dishes pricey, and breakfast quality or value varies. Service is generally warm yet inconsistent at times around reception, the lounge bar is not always staffed or open, and the spa pool can feel small, shallow or a little worn. Overall, expect a scenic, relaxing base with strong hospitality and a few manageable tradeoffs.
