The Daffodil Hotel & Spa

On arrival, and throughout the entire duration of our stay, staff were uttely brilliant. No request was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to ensure we were looked after. The use of spa facilities was excellent, and it was straightforward to book ourselves in for extra treatments. All of the food we had during our stay was sublime, and the set up of the breakfast buffet made the experience very enjoyable. Our meal in the main dining room, as well as the food and drinks we enjoyed in both the bar and the lounge, were fantastic. I cannot thank you enough for making our stay so memorable. I am extremely glad that I chose your hotel for our vacation as I propsed to my now-fiancee - you made our whole vacation special and memorable. Thank you so much!

The proximity to the lake and to the excellent bus service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved all the variety of pictures on the walls and those in the lounge. The staff were very willing to prepare my special meals ( puréed) to the point of acquiring an avocado for one meal. We also enjoyed the spa on the rainy day unfortunately the sauna was so hot it burned your feet so were unable to use it.

I don't often give 10/10 reviews, but I would struggle to mark down the value for money for our stay. Location - Excellent. Very close to Ambleside, Windermere, and Bowness, and Grasmere itself is worth a short visit. Hotel is right on the main road, but quiet, and with ample parking. Staff - All very friendly, at reception, breakfast, and in the spa facilities. Room - Very large. Loads of space for clothes. Safe included. HUGE BED! Bathroom was large again, and well equipped, with walk in shower and bath. Nice toiletries provided also. Food (Breakfast) - Excellent. I often find that relatively large hotels let themselves down with the cooled breakfast, but this was excellent - good quality food, and fresh. As expected continental breakfast, and nice cafetiere coffee brought fresh to the table. Nice views over the lake also. Spa - Good sauna, steam room, and thermal spa. Good, relaxed idea to provide bathrobes in the room, so that we could then return to the room to shower. We also had a 90 minute massage. Very nice, and got the full 90 minutes! Don't often say this, but would definitely return!

Loved the location. Came for the Fred Whitton Cycling challenge which started a couple of hundred meters down the road. Also perfect for seeing Dove Cottage (2 mins) and walks from the Daffodil around the Lake. Very comfy beds. Quiet at night. Mainly really friendly staff, especially Alex who went above and beyond for our dog (sausages just for her at breakfast!). The grounds were lovely. Didn’t experience the spa as we had the dog with us.

Lovely room with lake view and seating area too.My husbands birthday treat was made special by the kind surprise gift and card and by the treat at dinner. Totally unexpected but really made our stay extra memorable thank you. I chose the smoked salmon at breakfast and was very happy with the quality and portion. Staff on reception were must engaging and attentive including the young Australian guy who was welcoming and informative.
