Gilpin Hotel & Lake House

酒店房間很小，不像國內酒店一樣，性價比很差，兩個白人女前台有種族歧視，房間似乎有監控，衹要房間白天有第三人出現就會很快來電話叫我們讓第三人退出房間！

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 had a large room overlooking the Lake staying at the Lake house part of the hotel. It was beautiful and spacious and as it only has 6 rooms very quiet and special. However as it is about a mile from the actual hotel and up a narrow lane with passing places (and pot holes) you do feel a little trapped in the evening. They provide a shuttle for free to their other main hotel building but then you can only eat at 2 places, the Michelin starred Source- my partner is extremely fussy about food, so we ate at the more relaxed Asian style fusion restaurant instead, but this is very over priced for very small portions- 18 pounds for one small grilled aubergine in pieces, with a little spoon of sauce , and 5 pounds for a small bowl of rice. Or 20 pounds for four small lamb pieces with the same spoon of sauce. Starters good but desserts nothing special. Afternoon tea was lovely and beautiful cakes (but it was 30 pounds each), however a lovely treat. They don’t seem to offer a room service or any other lighter options to eat, like fries and sandwiches or burger etc, our neighbours ordered a take away ! The other two issues we had was Water - on arrival there was a note to say you cannot drink the water as it is from the lake. They gave us bottled water but we drank it quickly because the room was so hot (more later) so by morning ran short, and the bath was very brown with black bits when you tried to fill it so I was put off having one The room was incredibly hot, I wondered why staff kept leaving the front door open, it was the underfloor heating that seemed uncontrollable, we turned it right down but it was still 23 degrees at midnight so we opened windows but the thick curtains meant we need to open all the curtains and windows to get a comfortable temperature which meant flies everywhere… On a plus breakfast was delicious though you can’t see what you are having until ordering , I recommend pastries (lovely) instead of toast (despite described as artisan it was just sliced bread) , and the cooked English breakfast was top notch. You can walk around the lake a little but the path petered out, blocked by Bracken and fallen trees , so I couldn’t actually get around which was a shame but the view was lovely the swimming pool was nice and there are hot tubs in the grounds Overall lovely place but could be improved with more eating options at night (room service?) more water offered in your room - perhaps told in advance about the water issue- and fix the heating please . We have underfloor heating at home you should be able to turn it down !

Excellent service, relaxing and with beautiful views. Nothing not to like. All the facilities of a large 5 star hotel but with the added benefit of personal service with more homely surroundings. The food at both Source and Spice were amazing. The only very minor criticisms are that the swimming pool could do with a clean on the water line and the road to the lake house could be sign posted better.

A huge thank you to all the team for an outstanding evening. We had the pleasure of visiting for our 15th Wedding Anniversary. From the second we arrived every staff member was friendly and attentive. The ambience and atmosphere in the restaurant was perfection and we were thrilled to be seated opposite the chefs. Watching them work was delightful and Adam, the chef stationed opposite us went out of his way to make us feel relaxed and welcome. His easy charm and sense of humour made the night and it was clear to see all the kitchen team took pride in their work. The food was sensational with each dish bursting with flavours. We have been fortunate to dine out in some of the top restaurants and hotels in the Lakes and Gilpin Spice did not disappoint. We will definitely be returning.

terrific dining room and high quality and food - for me lacked the diversity and complexity of flavours of the very highest quality gourmet food but that is personal preference - fine service and a wonderful experience and we enjoyed the hotel also

Delightful unique hotel in the Lake District which offers lovely rooms, excellent service, fine dining and a spa.

This location holds a special place to my heart as it is where i proposed to my wife. 2 children and 4 years later we visited again as a special treat. The additional service charge on ALL Costs (including room cost) is a bit of a joke and after seeing this i felt insulted. Charge more if you want more. We didn't dine at the property. Room rate should be the room rate. Overall not thrilled because of this small fact.
