"Great hotel in the heart of Windermere, short walk to lake where boats go on the trips and close to shops. Slight hill getting back up to hotel. Lovely cocktail bar, pub and eating areas. Breakfast was fab. Hot tub was worth it after a day walking it was so nice to relax in. Spotlessly clean and as the old saying goes ‘you get what you pay for’; worth every penny."

"The staff were all very efficient and friendly. The quality of food was excellent along with the service and very reasonably priced. The facilities were well maintained and the room was well appointed with a very comfortable bed. Very quiet and peaceful with great views of lake Windermere. We will certainly be back."

"This hotel was ideal for my 2 night stay in Penrith. The room was clean and comfortable with tea/coffee facilities and robes/slippers available for the pool and/or spa. Pool and gym opening hours were good and the gym is well equipped. Staff in all areas were helpful and friendly. The restaurant menu offered a varied selection and I ate there on both evenings. The atmosphere overall was relaxing. It was an ideal place to stay for my first visit to Penrith and I'd be happy to stay again. "

"Great location, good breakfast, comfortable room, my only complaint is I couldn’t get a good signal for their WiFi didn’t work, and I was there for work, but overall a great stay. Walking distance to many things and amenities "

"We had a lovely one night stay. Staff very friendly. Our room was lovely and clean and breakfast very good with a good choice. Will stay again, thank you"

"Underwhelming. This is a very ordinary hotel, despite the hot tubs, pool and spa. The decor is vile, all dull browns with turquoise. In the “Troutbeck” room there is a nasty trip hazard into the bathroom. A stubbed toe was annoying but a cracked skull would have been more so. Tip: if it’s not fixed put a rolled up hand towel down to fill the gap and catch your attention. Pillows were like sandbags and need immediate replacement. The mattress had an uncomfortable lump and was likely in need of replacement too. The hot tub was good, as was the jacuzzi bath. The fridge was handy, and the chairs comfortable enough for a short while. Free parking on site. The building is a maze of corridors and stairs. Regrettably the lift was out of order for the first 24 hours or so. As a walking stick user this was less than ideal. Breakfast was okay but not special. My choice of evening meal, “roast of the day”, was almost inedible. Vegetable selection poor. The wait staff were pleasant but scruffy, in contrast to the smart and highly exuberant maitre’d. It is far from being a gourmet restaurant and there are other places to eat."

"Trever was fantastic looked after us very well "

"Great staff and very helpful. Good lcoation in proximity to Windermere and Bowness with ample car parking. Room was in the cottage out building and was large and comfortable. Onyl thing that needs to be improved is the cleanliness around things like skirting borads, cobwebs up walls, and the shower base edges where it hadn;t been cleaned for a long time. Breakfast provided is perfect, evening food is ok."

"The Daffodil Hotel is a really decent hotel, we came for our little honeymoon. Room was very clean, reception staff very welcoming and the beds are comfortable. We loved the view from our window of the lake and hills. Gorgeous location! Only issues was we had no fridge in our room, not having somewhere cold to store our 'bottled gifts' we brought from our wedding was disappointing. Also the reception lounge bar was closed constantly, its a shame as we fancied a nice cocktail and snack to celebrate, the actual restaurant was a bit too pricey for us. "
