Gilpin Hotel & Lake House
Our services are slightly different to normal, but for those of you that would still like to get away we are adapting so that we can still provide everything that you need during your stay. If you're staying with us, breakfast can be delivered to your room or served in the HRiSHi marquee, and in the evening if you prefer to eat in your room you can also enjoy a delicious Gilpin Spice take away.

One of our favourite things that our guests say is that when they think of Gilpin, they think of love and laughter - ours, and theirs, which is a really lovely compliment. At the heart of Gilpin is a very passionate family and team, dedicated to creating lasting memories for our guests, who return time and again for romance, celebrations and escapes.
Services
At Gilpin we have two hotels on two separate estates, but one team, so your time with us wherever you are should be seamless. Choose between a very chilled out hotel, Gilpin Hotel, or our hotel-come-country-house, Gilpin Lake House.

Set in 21 acres, Gilpin Hotel has 28 bedrooms, 2 restaurants (the Michelin starred HRiSHi and the casual pan Asian Gilpin Spice), a Champagne Bar, lounge, terraces, a croquet lawn - and our resident llamas and alpacas!The Spa Suites, Spa Lodges and the Garden Suites are all at the hotel (not at the Lake House), so if you're wanting your own hot tub, the hotel is the place for you.
FAO of our resident guests: Our restaurants currently have limited capacity, and do get full, so we strongly recommend booking your dining times with us prior to your arrival.

Due to current social distancing rules we can accommodate all of our resident guests across HRiSHi and Gilpin Spice, but to achieve this we need to book both restaurants evenly every night, so we are asking our guests to dine in each of the two restaurants for every two nights staying with us.
Our services will of course be slightly different to normal, but for those of you that would still like to get away we will be adapting so that we can still provide everything that you need during your stay. Dinner will be served in a HRiSHi pop-up marquee (an open air restaurant as per government guidelines) - with lots and lots of heating!
Since 1917 and spanning five generations, the Cunliffe family and our guests have been coming together at the Lake House for celebrations, short breaks and holidays. With just six rooms sharing the lake and 100 acres of private grounds, Gilpin Lake House provides an inspiring and peaceful location, perfect for celebrations and get togethers.
Enter through electric gates to discover Gilpin Lake House, set on a stunningly beautiful four-acre lake in 100 acres of private grounds. All the senses are pampered, with friendly, personal care and attention to detail.

Designed with exclusive use in mind, the Lake House is on three levels with a beautiful entrance and sweeping staircase, six fabulous suites (the bridal suite with endless windows overlooking the lake and woodland), a large lounge scattered with sofas, armchairs and bookcases, floor to ceiling windows, log fire, large conservatory overlooking the lake, traditional saunas (inside and out), two outdoor hot tubs, and a heated indoor pool with views towards the four-acre lake.

Great place , Excellent location The big thing letting this place down is the fact staff work for normal pay on xmas eve/day new years eve/day....Yet do an amazing job , to have them working on normal hourly rate on these days is beyond scrooge..My advice is to give the staff generous tips if you are enjoying this establishment on them days..As for the owners? Where is the xmas spirit? No doubt the business earns a few quid on these days , please pay your staff a bit extra as if you look at the reviews , The staff make that place what it is. Other than that great place.

Incredible experience at HRiSHi @The Gilpin this evening.
Really relaxed but with a classical feel, the staff were exceptional and nothing ever felt too formal.
Standout dishes for myself were both the baked cauliflower and also the chicken breast with leg meat.
Impressive menu, impressive staff.

Restaurants are great , displointed by the hotels response when the power went out late in the evening, no apology or response from the hotel staff when it was brought to their attention , ruined what should have been a destination stay.....i have to say the night porter/ manager did his very best to help out....advice take your own candles

My husband and I used our honeymoon money to book a night away here in a spa lodge. Our one year old was very sick the weekend we were due to stay and we were absolutely gutted to have to cancel. To make matters worse not only did we lose our £200 deposit but the company also chased us up with emails and phone calls and charged us a further £450. We now will not be able to afford to rebook another date anywhere else.
We understand that there was a 2 week cancellation policy, but given we booked quite last minute anyway and given our circumstances we thought they could have at least waived part

Amazing place, great staff, good restaurants, nice and quiet, plenty of parking, reasonably priced not far from kendal or windermere. Go here you won't regret it.

A wellness oasis just for you. Staying in a Spa Suite or Lodge is worth every penny. Additional bonus are the 2 restaurants onsite. Will definitely be back again. Can highly recommend it.
