Daffodil Hotel & Spa

Lakeside terrace dining with the dog, a short walk from Grasmere village

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A four-star hotel on the edge of Grasmere lake with a spa, a lounge bar and a terrace looking over the water. A limited number of bedrooms are set aside for dogs. The Lakeside Terrace is the summer answer for eating with a dog, and the lounge and Lobby Bar work year round. It suits people who want Grasmere walking without staying in the middle of the village.

Why it's in the collection

The Grasmere lakeshore path is a couple of minutes from the door and the Rydal Water circuit and Loughrigg Terrace are both reachable on foot without touching a road for long.

Best suited for

Dogs are fine in the lounge, Lobby Bar and Lakeside Terrace, not in the Dining Room.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Unattended in roomTo verify

A limited number of bedrooms take dogs, so book early. Reception, the lounge and the Lobby Bar are open to them, and the Lakeside Terrace is the recommended spot for summer meals. The Dining Room restaurant and the spa are people only. Dogs stay on the lead in public areas and the grounds, and off the furniture.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
