Description

Daffodils is an inviting holiday cottage resting in the village of Rydal, Cumbria, offering an appealing base for couples or small families looking to explore the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Well arranged and full of character, the cottage blends sociable living spaces with a practical layout suited to relaxed stays.

On entering the property, the living/dining room provides a welcoming place to spend time together, centred around a woodburning stove that adds warmth after days spent out walking, with space to sit down for meals.

The adjoining kitchen is neatly arranged for everyday self‑catering, making it easy to prepare breakfast before heading out or supper on your return.

The accommodation includes two bedrooms, offering flexible sleeping arrangements.

There is a double bedroom with an en‑suite walk‑in shower, basin and WC, alongside a twin bedroom, both providing restful places to settle at the end of the day.

These are served by a family bathroom fitted with a bath, shower over, basin and WC, giving guests a choice between a refreshing shower or a longer soak.

Outside, Daffodils benefits from a private front lawn and an enclosed rear patio with furniture, offering pleasant spaces to enjoy fresh air throughout the day.

A pub is just a short walk away, while shops are reached by car.

From here, explore nearby Grasmere for village charm and lakeside walks, visit Windermere for boat trips and attractions, or head to Keswick for market‑town amenities and access to northern fells.

With its Lakeland setting and welcoming layout, Daffodils offers a dependable base for discovering Cumbria.

Daffodils is a lovely cottage but we just had a few niggles with the property.

We couldn't get a couple of the radiators to work, one of them being in the main bathroom, the other in the dining area. There was a slight smell of damp in the living room area which I think would have dissipated had the heater in the dining area worked. We didn't have WiFi which we did report and was told the owner was aware. It took a few days to find the instructions to work the hob (instructions in the drawer under the TV) seeing as we have a gas hob at home and have never used an induction hob. We tried YouTube for instruction videos, but the videos wouldn't play due to no WiFi and the mobile signal wasn't good enough to support playback. Overall a lovely cottage in a nice, convenient location, a bit of a tight squeeze for 4 adults if we'd had friends join us. In the end we left the cottage part way through our holiday.
