“An imposing Victorian house set in expansive grounds right beside Grasmere lake. Interiors are chic and contemporary with not a whiff of the building's austere origins. Rooms are bright, with bold colours and lovely indulgent bathrooms. Complete with a spa and excellent restaurant. A luxury escape. ”

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa
Despite the fact that this hotel is housed in a traditional slate and Victorian-style building, inside it is smoothly contemporary with crisp bedrooms, vast public spaces and a spa with a vitality pool. Its ace card is its position on the shores of Grasmere, and across the road from Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage.
