Gilpin Hotel & Lake House

就是比較好的民宿，説實話欣賞不來。 一個樓裏一間房，樓下是餐廳。

羅萊夏朵的酒店，但是定的時候衹有這個房間了，沒想到這麼小，有條件的還是定大點的吧，住着舒服，酒店樓下有米其林餐廳。

We chose to stay at The Gilpin Lake House for our wedding anniversary. After driving for a couple of hours we found the main hotel and were then provided directions to get to the Lake House, a 6 min drive down a country lane. Through the automatic iron gates, then around to the lake house. This used to be a family house and has been converted into a luxury boutique hotel. On arrival we were greeted warmly and professionally from a member of the team. We sat in the lounge and had a sandwich and drink from the bar whilst we waited for our room. Afternoon tea was also being served in the small dining room. All rooms had a great view of the serene private lake. We were then informed that we had been given an upgrade to one of the Lake House Spa Suites. We were shown to our room, just 50 yards away from reception. It was a magnificent open plan space, with a huge balcony overlooking the private lake. The room had its own sauna, steam room and hot tub. Fantastic. (The shared hot tubs at the hotel are booked out in slots so you don’t have to share with other guests, which we don’t enjoy) There are several places to chill out in the grounds along with a boat house to chill out in whilst looking out across the lake. There are also two rowing boats if you fancy having a row on the lake.. We had dinner at the Spice restaurant as we didn’t want the Michelin star tasting menu. Food and service were excellent. After dinner we had a drink in the hotel bar. There is a complimentary private Porsche with a driver to get you from the lake house to the restaurant and back. Breakfast in the small dining room was fantastic, full a la carte menu to choose from. Really enjoyable. We’ve stayed at many 5 star hotels and this was quite different from the modern city hotels. It was fabulous and an utterly peaceful and relaxing stay. Highly recommend this if you just want to get away from the rat race! .

From the moment we arrived at the Gilpin Hotel, we knew we were in for something special but we never could have anticipated just how incredible our stay would be. A huge thank you to Emma at reception for the warmest of welcomes and for the welcome call just before we arrived, to Rob for looking after us so attentively, and to Tom, the Maltese manager, whose hospitality was second to none. We were staying there because we were doing the Ultra Challenge, and the entire team made sure we were not only looked after but truly pampered. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel genuinely special throughout our time there. We also had the pleasure of dining at Gilpin Spice, and the food was absolutely outstanding a real highlight of the trip. Every dish was packed with flavour and beautifully presented; a true culinary treat that we won’t soon forget. The spa facilities were just the cherry on top, a perfect place to unwind and recover after the challenge. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our stay so memorable. We would not hesitate for a second to recommend the Gilpin Hotel and all of its incredible staff. We can’t wait to return.

Even though the staff are great especially Brian and the views are beautiful the lake house is significantly over priced for what you get and bizarre and weird. The Internet does not work in the Beatrice room except in a small part of the main bed, the second bed is fit for anyone shorter then 5 foot 7 as anyone taller can’t fit in, the checkout time is 10:30am which is bizarre when checkin is 2pm and because the hotel is saving money and has 2 staff and one chef at breakfast it takes about 1 hour for starters to be served, you’re in the middle of nowhere and if you don’t have a car you are limited in what you can do in the beautiful Lake District and when we called to ask if they could book a taxi while at the ferry wharf despite being disabled and in our 80s they said we would need to book it ourselves. There is also a £46.20 discretionary service fee on all reservations and not too sure what it’s for. Shame because the staff really do their best and the Lake District is a must see but the hotel is truly bizarre and weird and indicative of less than an Ibis or Formula One at Burj Al Arab prices.

Having stayed before. We arrived on 24 June and were met and warmly welcomed at the car park then taken to reception, and then our room. Which was again well appointed refreshing and relaxing. At the bar we were warmly welcomed and supplied with our drinks. We booked the Spice restaurant on the 24th and the Sauce restaurant on the 25th. "The Spice". Was above great it was fantastic, the staff were, friendly, happy, professional and knowledgeable about all the food and gave us much needed advice on the menus', The Chefs created what we can only describe as Micheline standard. "The Sauce", again fabulous, The staff were, all friendly, happy, professional and knowledgeable about all the food and gave advice on the menus', The Chefs created what we can only describe as Micheline standard, which it deserves and has. We have been to many hotels in England, Europe and over seas. Never have we come across ALL staff who were happy, helpful, very friendly and professional. They all cared about what they did and what customers needs were. all we can say is an exceptional hotel.
