A nice clean hotel
The hotel is very clean. Most of staff are not at all friendly. I was disappointed with the spa, it was very dark in all the rooms. The bed room was clean and the cleaning team were all friendly.

Daffodil hotel amazing
When we arrived for our weekend away, they greated us by advising us that they had upgraded us to a room with a view, which straight away made us even more happier. Beautiful location and hotel and the Spa and breakfast were brilliant as well. Just missing a gym for us, then it would have been perfect. Defo going again.

Super friendly and quick check in. Prompt room change when the room key wasn't working. Excellent spa facilities - notably the thermal pool. Good range of breakfast options (the pancakes from the kitchen order options were fab). Good quality food for evening meal in the dining room. The location speaks for itself - fantastic.
