The hotel & lake house grounds are amazing and the setting is stunning. The room could use some TLC, the carpet was bubbling and the shower gels empty on arrival. The hot tub outside our room however was very lovely and unexpected. Putting some lights and a bit more private would really add to it. Overall it was a lovely stay and would go back!

Beautiful hotel in a peaceful location. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. We had a spacious room with a large window seat. Loved the bathroom towels which were big and very thick. The bar and dining areas are very inviting. Great breakfast, cooked to order. Wish we were staying longer!

Nothing is too much for the staff at the Gilpin. Room was first class. The omelette my partner had was the best she'd ever had, apparently. Couldn't fault the stay!

Our stay was impeccable. 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.

2/10 Poor

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.
