Gilpin Hotel & Lake House

The staff were excellent! Couldn’t do more for us, very approachable and always someone around. The room and grounds were beautiful, hot tubs, rowing boat and swimming pool all bookable to yourselfs and very easy which meant it felt like the whole house was to ourselves most of the time.

It was very warm so the room was very warm, no AC which was disappointing for the price of the room, also the bathroom was dated and the shower lacked pressure. This wouldn’t stop me from staying again but I think for the price it was expected.

No children. And very peaceful.

No proper air conditioning. Room was too hot on a night and the little machine was too noisy to put on during the night if you wanted to get any sleep.

Good location, quiet, quirky, excellent restaurant, wonderful staff

Sneaky “Optional Accommodation Service Charge” at £27.97 per night. When you’re paying £450 per night B&B, I consider this to be underhand! When the Manager says it doesn’t go to the Business, but goes to the Staff, I baulk at it—- it just makes you feel uncomfortable, and leaves a nasty taste. When I get on an aeroplane, I don’t expect a levy for the Staff who have just cleaned the Aircraft! The Spa is a joke- consists of 2 small outdoor Hot Tubs. This is the UK! It gets cold ,windy, and it rains ( the Lake District is one of the wettest regions in the UK). GET A ROOF and some WALLS! Definitely not 5 star

Very good property - niche

Obnoxiously overpriced. Due to power failure, no water in bathroom in the morning, no WiFi
