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

From the moment we arrived at the hotel the staff were very friendly and attentive. Our room wasn't quite ready so we were offered some home made lemonade in the lounge which was very refreshing. After only a short wait we were shown to our room, Cat Bells, one of the new garden suites, it was beautiful, very stylish and... more

My husband and I booked Gilpin Lodge after many hours searching on the internet for a luxury hotel for our friends' Silver Wedding Anniversary. As the date of our stay loomed closer we grew more nervous that it would not live up to the expectations that the hotel website had built . Thankfully our fears were unfounded. As soon as... more

Had a quick look around this country house before deciding to book for evening meal. Were impressed with layout and gardens etc. On arrival that evening had canapes in lounge and then were eventually shown to our table - in one of four dining rooms. Courses arrived promptly and food was good but as in a couple of other reviews... more

My husband and I booked a meal at the Gilpin Lodge where we ordered the five course dinner, and found the food was of the highest quality. I was expecting meagre portions but its a case of quality not quantity here, and we felt satisfied and full at the end. Service throughout was faultless although completely impersonal and slightly robotic.... more

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the food, but equally are disappointed in how you found the atmosphere and service. Whilst 'faultless' service and indeed food is an important aim, more importantly to us we also try our best to create an ambience where guests feel comfortable and relaxed. Many of our guests dislike background...
