Overview
hotel overview with garden

Gilpin Hotel & Lake House, a Relais & Châteaux hotel, is set in the Lake District National Park near Windermere. Owned and managed by the passionate Cunliffes family since 1988, the hotel spans two charming luxury country houses on two separate estates. All 25 rooms have lovely views, most leading onto the gardens, many with their own hot tubs and private ensuite spas. Just over a mile from Gilpin Hotel, in a unique private setting, is the 100-acre Gilpin Lake House estate with a spa, small lake, boathouse, hot tubs and swimming pool (exclusive to Lake House guests). With only six bedrooms this beautiful house feels like a fully-staffed private country house. Breakfast is served at the Lake House and complimentary chauffeurs ferry Lake House guests to and from the restaurants at Gilpin Hotel.  Gilpin Hotel offers an exquisite dining experience with its two restaurants – the Michelin starred HRiSHi and the casual Gilpin Spice. There are endless places to lounge around at the hotel including several terraces and a charming gazebo. The stunning Jetty Spa boasts its own bespoke organic products. It boasts a 30 foot swimming pool overlooking the lake, a hot tub to recline under the stars.

Location

The Gilpin Hotel & Lake House is located just 2km from the station in Windermere, between Oxenholme and Windermere. Oxenholme station is accessible from London and Manchester, as well as Edinburgh and Glasgow. The nearest airport is Manchester. 

Rooms

At Gilpin Hotel all 25 bedrooms have lovely Lakeland views, most leading directly onto the gardens – 6 with their own cedarwood hot tubs, and 5 fabulous new detached Spa Lodges, each with their own ensuite spa (rainmaker showers and steam rooms inside, hydrotherapy hot tubs and saunas outside) for a very special, private experience. The Gilpin Lake House (a mile away on a separate estate), features 6 rooms that exclusively enjoy the 100 acres of grounds. The décor of the hotel can suit all tastes, from the ‘classic’ with double beds, sofas and views over the moors to the garden suites to opulently decorated with Eastern accents.

  • Classic Bedrooms:

    Classic Bedrooms are our most modest rooms by size, but they are still very comfortable, and each still has room for one or two armchairs or a sofa. Whilst we distinguish these rooms by size, the same love and attention is given to all rooms in the quality of the furnishing and fabrics, and all have lovely bathrooms. The Classic Bedrooms overlook the courtyard, moors and gardens.

  • Master Bedrooms:

    Mostly on the first floor of the original house, our Master Bedrooms are large bedrooms with queen or king size beds, small sitting areas (usually a couple of comfy arm chairs and a coffee table) and garden views. Most are on the first floor of the original house, with great views and many features characteristic of a Georgian house. All bar one of these rooms has a separate bath and shower. All are equipped with flat screen TVs with digital TV, luxurious toiletries, mini bars, tea and coffee facilities with home made biscuits and fresh milk, and a flask of iced water.

  • The Junior Suites:

    Lovely large rooms with open plan lounge areas, patio doors leading directly onto the gardens, and a patio area with outside table and chairs from spring to autumn. Situated in the main hotel and more traditional in style than the Spa Lodges and the Garden Suites, the Junior Suites have king size beds* and large bathrooms with spa baths** and walk-in showers.

  • The Garden Suites:

    Huge open plan suites with super king size bed and large bathrooms with separate walk-in showers and sumptuous baths. The open plan lounges have feature fireplaces and patio doors leading to decked gardens with their own cedarwood hot tub. What better way to round off a crisp wintry walk than by sinking into your hot tub – especially fabulous in the winter!

  • The Spa Lodges:

    In January 2016, Gilpin Hotel & Lake House launched five luxurious detached lodges at Gilpin Hotel, each cedar-clad with king size beds, gorgeous bathrooms and a fabulously private en-suite spa along with mood lighting, fires, electric blinds and a state-of-the-art music system – invigorating all of the senses. The Spa Lodges each have a convertible treatment area, steam room, rain maker shower, free standing oval stone bath, outdoor sauna and hydrotherapy hot tub surrounded by a walled garden – and wonderful views over the gardens to the Lake District moors.

  • Gilpin Lake House:

    Just over a mile from Gilpin Hotel, in a unique private setting, is the 100-acre Gilpin Lake House estate with a spa, small lake, boathouse, hot tubs and swimming pool (exclusive to Lake House guests). With only six bedrooms this beautiful house feels like a fully-staffed private country house; breakfast is served at the Lake House and complimentary chauffeurs ferry Lake House guests to and from the restaurants at Gilpin Hotel.
