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。

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.

We stayed with my partner for his 40th Birthday Celebration in Spa Suite. It was wonderful experience, beautiful suite. Staff very attentive and professional. We enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to be back as we decided to organise our wedding in this lovely place.

Lunch food was good but the only spice detected was in the name. Needs some heat lavishing. Get those chilli’s in!

We visited for 3 nights for our honeymoon ans from start to finish it was pure luxury. We spent time in both restaurants and the spa, with all elements pure perfection. Will definitely return.

The place is lovely and everyone is really friendly, fabulous food and spa but the staff unfortunately often forgot about drinks orders or general requests. Crockery and silverware was left out in the rain following a wedding for several days (still not cleaned away on the day we left) and furs and lounge pillows left out in the rain on the rowing boats for god knows how long.

We have been going to Gilpin Lodge since 2010 and it is our favourite hotel for the the accommodation, ambiance and delicious food. However, this time our stay at the Gilpin Lodge has been quite disappointing mainly due to the inadequate dining experience. While we were very happy with our room which was warm and spacious (and opens into the garden although it was upstairs) the food left much to be desired and significatly impacted our overall enjoyment. I so looked forward to the breakfast as on previous occasions I had the best ever vegetarian breakfast with their vegetable potatoes cake for many years! (I am not a vegetarian, I just love the Gilpin vegetarian breakfast). This time the breakfast was so disappointing , both the vegetarian and non vegetarian sausages were so hard you could practically knock someone with them! For dinner we had the tasting menu on the first night. Although this is a Michelin starred restaurant the chef did not produce Michelin star quality food, one dish featured a slither of turbot served on a bed of unseasoned hard bartolini beans which did not complement the fish at all. On the second night we went for the Origin menu which consist of the usual starter main & dessert from the same tasting menu but without the precourses. As this is more like ala-carte menu I expected a normal portions one usually get, this is not so, the portions were so small the same as the tasting menu. It seeemed the chef got 3 portions of main course from one single duck breast leaving us with a couple of mouthful for the main dish and the skin was not rendered probably and not edible. No side dishes were offered making the meal incomplete and unsatisfying. Desserts were similaly disappointing , lacking creativity & excitement. I woke up hungry about 2AM and ate all the shortbreads in the room! While the staffs remain friendly and helpful they are rather chaotic and we needed to request 4 times to bring an extra portion of bread during dinner. The main dining room was pleasant but without the white crisp tableclothes and fresh flowers the dining area feels more like a casual cafe rather then the fine dining establishment it once was. This combined with the lackluster meals has left us feeling disheartened and sadly the prospect of returning no longer excites us. Overall, despite being happy with the room and helpful friendly staffs the dining experience fell far short, and given the price we paid we expected much more specially for the Source Origin menu.
