The Daffodil Hotel & Spa
8.7 (109 reviews)

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa ★★★★

📍 By The Lake, Keswick Road, Ambleside, Grasmere

"There was no mini-fridge, and the towel racks weren't warm enough; the details were lacking. The scenery was absolutely stunning, but I'd recommend a few other places in town."

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe
8.8 (37 reviews)

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe ★★★★

📍 Easedale Rd, Ambleside, Grasmere

"Good location for this side of the lakes. Not as much character or homely feeling as some of the best YHAs. Nothing wrong with it, just not the best. Noisy fan in the bathroom that wouldn't stop all night."

The Swan at Grasmere- the Inn Collection Group
8.6 (96 reviews)

The Swan at Grasmere- the Inn Collection Group ★★★★

📍 Keswick Road, Ambleside, Grasmere

"This is a hotel very close to the lake area and belongs to a family hotel.  Breakfast and dinner are very good, the amount is also very large, the price is relatively reasonable, and the surrounding scenery is not bad."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa
9.4 (97 reviews)

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa ★★★★

📍 Salutation Hotel, Lake Rd, Ambleside, Lakes

The Ambleside Inn - the Inn Collection Group
8.1 (45 reviews)

The Ambleside Inn - the Inn Collection Group ★★★

📍 Market Pl, Ambleside, Lakes

"Nice hotel in the middle of the town. Only issue is if you are a traveller with huge luggage, it will be difficult to bring it up to your room"

The Traveller's Rest
8.9 (102 reviews)

The Traveller's Rest ★★★

📍 The Traveller's Rest, Grasmere

"We used the travellers inn as we wanted to see the grisdale tarn and we needed to a room to stay after the sight. They allowed us to store our luggage at the inn as our check in was at 3pm. The rooms were clean and it overlooked a farm area with lots of sheep. The room had an aesthetic look and there was tea satchets we could have as well. The staff were kind and wonderful. The rooms had the britain charm you see in old english movies. If you love sheeps, kind people, good food and 80's british aesthetics- then this place is just for you. We loved our stay here."

Compston House B & B
9.5 (43 reviews)

Compston House B & B ★★★★

📍 Compston Rd, Lakes

"Super clean accommodation in a fantastic location with very friendly and professional hosts. We visited for Easter weekend 2026 and had wonderful stay. John & Meg were lovely hosts and the accommodation was close to everything in Ambleside, which for us was the perfect location to base ourselves for our first Lake District stay get away. We cannot suggest this place strongly enough."

The Wordsworth Inn, Grasmere - the Inn Collection Group Hotels in Lakes

The Wordsworth Inn, Grasmere - the Inn Collection Group

"We were originally staying in the hotel next door and decided to stay another night in Grasmere but unfortunately they couldn’t accommodate us so on a whim we booked a double room with breakfast at the Wordsworth Hotel for £249 It’s in a fabulous location and from the outside looks very grand but upon our arrival it became apparent that it was anything but. It took us so long to find the reception from the car park, meandering through the dated hallways that I was beginning to feel like Jack Nicholson in the Shining. I wouldn’t have been surprised if I’d bumped into two little girls in blue dresses. The manager at the reception was nice enough , friendly and gave us the key to our room which was disappointing. It was small and had different bedside lamps. It wasn’t the cleanest, especially in the bathroom which had a cracked sink. The blinds were dirty and the heat in the room was overbearing. We managed to sort that out. We went out for the evening but wasn’t told that they lock the doors at a certain time , so we were locked out in the rain until the manager let us in. Had a terrible nights sleep, the bed was rock hard and I woke up with a bad back. We were told on arrival that breakfast stops at 11am but when we went to the dining area at 10.30am we were then told that breakfast that’s included with the room stops at 9.30am and we would have to pay, however the manager was helpful and waived that. My partner had the veggie breakfast (which wasn’t the best) whilst we sat under the glass conservatory. The gutters are blocked so the noise from the dripping water was annoying. I asked for corn flakes with soya milk and I was handed a bowl full of milk and a box of the cereal. The poor waiter looked embarrassed. The hotel has great potential. It needs a total refurbishment. Get rid of the red carpet! It is in a beautiful place but we won’t stay there again. We were so disappointed and it spoilt what was a wonderful visit to Grasmere"

The Daffodil Hotel & Spa ★★★★
"Extremely overpriced facilities. Most definitely the worst breakfast selection I’ve ever witnessed, it makes the premier inn feel like Michelin star quality. Do not book a visit to the hotel if you are wanting to use the spa facilities, it’s more comparable to a luke warm bath than a spa.  Overpriced, with receptionists having no care for the concerns raised."
