"This luxury hotel on the outskirts of Grasmere sits in peaceful seclusion surrounded by craggy fells and bottle-green fields, with a superb outlook over the village’s namesake lake."

"With candle lanterns, fibre-optic lighting, brushed concrete walls and pops of abstract art, the spa at The Daffodil – on the shores of Grasmere, across the road from Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage – is modern and slinky"
Lonely Planet
Top choice
"Opened in 2012, this upscale hotel occupies a Victorian building but the 78 rooms zing with modern style: swirly carpets, art prints and bold shades of lime, purple and turquoise."
