No mini bar in room or shower cap. They ruined the pudding by being too fancy. I ordered apple crumble and they put it in a glass ao very difficult to eat.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.
Another fabulous Christmas stop over when visiting relatives nearby. Lovely spa, comfortable rooms and great food.
Staff amazing as always.
We will back next year !!
Excellent Room
Excellent staff

All together fabulous hotel
Spa pool was a little small for the size of hotel at the busy periods and not enough lounges.
We liked the superb location by the lake and traditional look of the property from the outside and its fully refurbished, modern interior decor. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. Pre-booked Afternoon Tea and Dinner were delicious.
This was one of the most comfortable stays in the Lake District I’ve ever had. The rooms are wonderful and well equipped, the staff are amazing and the the breakfast was the best! Thank you Daffodil!
Loved our short stay. Spa treatments we so good, waiting staff excellent as was food and drinks.
Spa was a little disappointing ie the pool (small and cramped)
Our stay at the Daffodil hotel was really good. The room had a really disappointing view but we did pay for the cheapest room. But the room itself was really comfortable and nice. The breakfast was brilliant and exceeded expectations. The service in the restaurant was very good as well, they also catered for gluten free which is unusual.
It was a shame that the lobby bar was closed almost every time we walked past it despite it supposed to be open until midnight.
The spa was lovely, great steam room and sauna and hot pool. A real treat after we walked up scafell pike!
Shame that when we checked out the guy behind reception was not particularly friendly and seemed annoyed that we wanted to pay for our bill with cash. But that was the only poor service we received in the whole weekend.
I’d recommend the daffodil, friendly service, good facilities and a great location for exploring the Lake District.
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.
