The Gilpin
unforgettable hotel

 

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. For us, hospitality starts with a very warm welcome and ends with a friendly goodbye, with extraordinary service and exquisite décor.

 

 More Information :   "At Gilpin we have two hotels on two separate estates with three unique restaurants, 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. We are delighted to announce that SOURCE at Gilpin Hotel has been awarded a coveted Michelin star following Ollie Bridgwater’s arrival earlier this year."

 Latest Review :   "We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Hillthwaite Hotel. We stayed in Room 210 (Langdale) and our friends stayed in Room 15. We had an amazing time. The hotel is a little tricky to find so keep your eyes peeled for the driveway off Thornbarrow Road (although it is signposted). There were enough parking bays at the hotel, but the area is a little small, making it a bit tricky to manoeuvre in some spots. We were welcomed upon arrival and we had a cream tea prior to checking in (which we had prebooked)."

 

 

Cragwood
Country House Hotel

 

Nestled on the shores of England’s longest and most beautiful lake you will find Cragwood Country House Hotel. Set in its own secluded, twenty-acre estate of beautiful, landscaped gardens and woodland, it’s hard to resist our stunning Lake Windermere hotel at Cragwood. With stunning gardens leading down to the shores of Lake Windermere, there could be no place more beautiful to take in the fabulous Lake District views than at the end of our private jetty on Windermere.

 Latest Review :   "I love this hotel and the location is idyllic. Being dog friendly is a big plus. All the staff are great and a big thank you to everyone - reception, waiters / bar staff and great gardeners who keep the grounds perfect. A massive thankyou to Kimia who was wonderful and loved our black spaniel molly. Kimia is destined to go far, I know she is on placement while studying, but I hope that when she qualifies she will return to Cragwood and we will see her again. Also thank you to the management."

Absolutely excellent

Well worth the effort to visit , we had the fish and chips x2 plus the southern fried chicken tenders and chips, I can honestly say it was the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten out couldn’t fault it , my wife said her fried chicken was really tasty , the place itself is tastefully decorated and you can tell they have a pride about the way it looks. We would not hesitate to recommend this Inn, also a mention to the lady who looked after us Alice , brilliant!

Amazing stay Cardiff hotel

I stayed here for a week for University and it was a breath of fresh air compared to my previous hotel. It is like a home away from home and I felt so comfortable travelling alone. There are lots of lovely touches like fresh milk available to take to your room in a cool flask, hot chocolate and filter coffee bags available in your room and a lovely cosy fire in the restaurant. The food was absolutely incredible too and the breakfast options were 10/10.

A lovely stay

Just back from a one night stay in this Pub with rooms and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed in The Barn conversion just up the road which was spacious, cosy and well appointed. Dinner was very good, as was the service. Breakfast was top quality and the lunch we had after a long walk up Malham Cove was also very good. Just a couple of words of advice. This venue is very dog friendly.

Amazing meal

Visited Friday night 3rd February. The fact that my husband is both Gluten and Dairy intolerant was not a problem at all. ( bliss) stunning lamb shank that literally fell off the bone. Dessert, sorted two choices of gluten and dairy free tart for my husband and vegan ice cream. All this on our doorstep. Thank you so much you never disappoint.

Fabulous Hosts!

The Room we stayed in at the Bull was very clean and spacious, lots of hot water for a bath etc. TV good, bed comfy. The breakfast on Sunday morning was massive, everything you would want from cereal, FULL English, large pot of tea or coffee, toast, jams etc. presented beautifully at the time we requested 9.0 am, forgot to mention Saturday night meal again was excellent, we eat there regular through out the season.

Fantastic stay!

We were attending a Wedding in Cardiff and the Langdale Hotel was recommended to us, and we were not disappointed, 6 of us had a brilliant overnight stay, Amanda the Landlady was extremely friendly, and the Breakfast was lovely, nothing was too much trouble, I would definitely stay again.

Absolutely superb

Myself, wife and daughter are vegan and they made a separate mini buffet for us on a separate table. The food was the best I have ever had for a buffet in a pub. Homemade pizza, garlic bread, salad, spring rolls and an amazing tomato soup. Everything was delicious. Really cannot fault this pub, brilliant and please visit for superb food, great beer choice and friendly smiling faces…perfect.
