I stayed in Gilping in the second week of January this year with my partner. What a wonderful place. We were very nicely surprised by the size and décor of the room where we were lead by a very friendly hostess. The weather wasn’t really kind but we managed to have a brisk walk around Windermere lake. We found the... more

Thanks to the cold spell we had a white wedding and some missing guests but we escaped to Gilpin for our honeymoon and had the most delighful time. The service was excellent and the meals were exquisite. We probably drank too much over the course of 3 days but what the hell ... If you are thinking of a special... more

Gilpin Lodge is one of those places that gathers you up and cossets you until it's time to leave.

Stayed with husband and friends the first 4 nights of our Lake District visit. Accomodations were comfortable and convenient and food was excellent. But the outstanding feature was the staff. Everyone was helpful without being stiff. Jess planned a rainy day itinerary for us and gave us maps for that and for walks (first evening we wanted a short walk... more

Warm and friendly welcome and surprise upgrade - thank you. The staff were all well trained and efficient and attentive in the right measure.We had booked dinner and the service standard remained very high. I did have an issue with my starter but my wife's meal was good, not michelin standard, but pleasant nonetheless. One quirky tip- if you like... more
