The staff, especially, were always on hand, helpful and very friendly. If you want a treat, good food, comfort, beautiful rooms, the Gilpin is the place to stay. Not cheap, but still worth every penny as you certainly get what you pay for. ##### adrian Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean Pierre 2 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Belle étape Excellente restauration aussi mais attention si vous n’aimez pas la coriandre ##### Jean Pierre Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 9 May 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Underwhelming. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alastair 9 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gilpin Very peaceful location a few miles outside Windermere. 2 Michelin starred restaurants. ##### Alastair Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 26 Mar 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Service Is not as advertised. Bad experience It was very bad experience. We stayed 3 hours waiting to check in. most of the customers checked in 1 hour before us although we came before everyone. The receptionist was so rude when I pointed out to her that we waited for too long. They advertised the room is bed and breakfast and the breakfast is included. However in reality after we arrived they said we have to pay £25 per person for it. They also advertised the hotel as 5 stars, but in their sign it was 4 stars, but in reality it is less than 1 star. The room is so small, and smelly, with badly decorated/closure design. the carpet is filthy, became bald from too much use, and with many spots. The cushions appear as they never have been washed. The bed linens was not changed, and not clean. This experience spoiled our holiday. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8203AD7D21C153BB631BF14C06A9C0C7968298C61648305812884.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2F0AB837419513539CCE60FA2486E38EAB636F6C1648305808960.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79702D6F5F043A4A31B30FBD78F14C12D75DEE151648305812436.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A5F769C9E9D26812722ACE8DF27F1C3A7D2CD1DE1648305810321.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 23 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Everything we booked for was exceptional, the room, the food and the service is excellent.

Disappointed with the noise and the hotels minimal goodwill offer of £100 to say sorry (against a £1,200 bill). ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Luxurious mini stay Staff couldn’t do enough for us- made our entire stay super relaxing and enjoyable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### F.A 2 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I came from Japan with my daugher.
