Imagine Private Spa Trails for every guest and many rooms with their own private spa and garden – all with unique décor and gorgeous Lake District views. The magic begins the instant you close the door.

We love to help create lasting memories for our guests, who return time and again for romance, celebrations, and private wellness escapes. For us, hospitality starts with a warm welcome and ends with a friendly goodbye, with exquisite décor, delicious food and memorable experiences in between.

Our favourite compliment? That when guests think of Gilpin, they think of love and laughter. We hope you’ll feel it too.

Whether at Gilpin’s Spa Space or in the grounds of the Lake House, private spa trails are available for everyone.

Gilpin is made up of two hotels, set on two separate estates just over a mile apart – each with its own character, but both sharing the same devotion to privacy, relaxation, and romance and only a short distance from Windermere.

Choose the wonderfully welcoming Gilpin Hotel, home to two restaurants and a rather charming resident herd of llamas and alpacas, or opt for our hotel-come-country-house, Gilpin Lake House, where a private lake with stunning views and scenic walks are on your doorstep.

Wherever you choose, there’s a private Spa Trail for every single guest, no matter which room you’re staying in. Gilpin is the couples’ retreat you’ve been searching for – a place built for memorable escapes, and for making them together.

Set in 21 acres of gardens, moors and woodland, Gilpin Hotel has 30 fabulous rooms (from Classic Rooms to the Spa Suites), two restaurants, a relaxing Spa Space – and resident llamas, alpacas and pigs. Warm, friendly & full of character.
