Lovely setting

One of the things about hotel rooms is that they never have labels on them to state that they are, indeed, the standard of room that one has booked. You are put in a room with nothing to compare it with; if the reception staff say it is a superior room, that's what it is. So my room, a "superior lake view room" which was, let's be honest, pretty damned expensive, must have been what I was told. Well, we could see the lake - just about - but much more of the rest of the hotel from the window. The room was nice enough, very stained carpet, very noisy air con, and the bed - massive - had such an uncomfortable mattress that sleeping comfortably was difficult. A hard ridge at hip level right across the bed, impossible to avoid. And of course a problem not easy to detect when accepting the room. We should have complained after the first night but for some strange reason failed to do so; the receptionist showed so little interest in the report at check out that I wondered whether others had complained too.
Off peak, and we understand that there will be issues. The hotel coped well enough, I don't think there were many residents mid January but the restaurant was capable and service was lightning fast and efficient. Not much choice for breakfast, "adequate" would describe that.
The weather was beautiful and the setting sublime so those boxes were ticked. If the Daffodil is aspiring to luxury status then in my opinion it misses; it's a good mid range offering, but set in fantastic scenery to command a premium.

Beautiful view with amazing staff

Had an amazing weekend. The food is incredible. Staff very attentive and the spa treatments were a treat. The view is amazing. Very good location. Refillable water stations were a nice touch. No faults at our stay. Lake view room was worth the upgrade.

Friends treat

Had a brilliant 2 nights at the daffodil on a pal s recommendation lovely spacious room overlooking Rydal water and an equally spacious bathroom very nice helpful dining room staff and welcoming reception staff too..great location although peaceful at the rear,its situation is on a main road with easy access to the sights of the lakes . Bonus is you can use the local buses to visit all around and no need to use your car . Hope to visit again in the autumn .
