“The Daffodil Hotel & Spa places you steps from Grasmere, offering both village access and striking lake views; rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, though views and configurations vary. I especially appreciate the on-site spa and the locally-sourced breakfast. A solid choice for exploring the Lake District, if you prioritize location and are less focused on extensive spa treatments.”

meal budgetmissing towel
The half-board situation was like a trap. They didn't explain the £80 meal budget and presented a hefty bill at the end! i had some bland salt and pepper squid with a mysteriously yellow sauce. a tiny goat cheese roulade that cost £12. the spa wasn't much better. The jacuzzi area was oddly designed, and my partner's bright pink hair towel vanished from our room, never to be seen again.

The spa access after checkout was a good bonus. I also liked the ample parking spaces available. It made arrival and departure easy. breakfast had a great selection of pastries and fruit. the hotel was sparkling clean!
I found a small inconvenience. The bar downstairs felt a bit impersonal and teeny. It resembled a train station waiting area which wasn't ideal.
