Overview

AA 5 Red Star and Relais & Châteaux estate near Windermere in the Lake District

Two Distinct Estates for a Private Escape

Gilpin Hotel & Lake House is made up of two separate estates, the main hotel set in 21 acres and the Lake House within 100 acres of private grounds. At Gilpin Lake House, guests have exclusive use of the lake, rowing boats, and the bank of Knipe Tarn. The hotel offers a complimentary chauffeur service between the two properties, so guests can enjoy both restaurants and spa facilities without driving.

Michelin-Starred Dining and Pan-Asian Flavors

The hotel operates two restaurants: SOURCE, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and Gilpin Spice, a more casual pan-Asian venue. SOURCE sources seasonal and local ingredients, while Spice serves dishes influenced by Jamaica, Thailand, Japan, and India. Breakfast is served a la carte, and room service from Spice is available for guests who prefer to dine in their room.

Spa Treatments Across Both Estates

The main Gilpin Hotel houses the Spa Space, which includes hydrotherapy hot tubs and treatment rooms. At Gilpin Lake House, spa treatment rooms are available exclusively for Lake House guests, along with a shared swimming pool and hot tub. Guests can also book in-room spa services for treatments like massages and facials in the privacy of their own suite.

Accommodations with Private Hot Tubs and Lake Views

Many rooms at the Gilpin Hotel offer private hot tubs on terraces or in garden areas, with Lakeland views from every bedroom. The Lake House Spa Suites include a private sauna, steam room, and hot tub, as well as a balcony overlooking the lake. All bedrooms at the Lake House have views of Knipe Tarn, and the grounds feature a boathouse and rowing boats for guest use.

Awards, Resident Animals, and Exclusive Grounds

The property holds an AA 5 Red Star rating and is a member of Relais & Châteaux, recognizing its high standards. The grounds are home to resident llamas, alpacas, and micro pigs, which guests can see from the hotel gardens. The Lake House can be booked exclusively for special events, offering full use of the 100-acre estate and its facilities.
