The largest Hotel in Grasmere, Cumbria was evacuated over night after heavy rain in Cumbria caused widespread flooding. <br /><br />Three fire engines were in attendance at the Daffodil Hotel and set up pumps to divert the flood water away from the hotel. <br /><br />The luxury hotel is on the shores of Grasmere Lake, but it was water from the river that caused the problem. <br /><br />The sheer volume of water flowing out of the village, overwhelmed the drainage systems and ended up in the Hotel car park and at its front door.
