What are the rooms and facilities on offer at Gilpin Hotel & Lake House?

Gilpin Hotel is set in 21 acres, the 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. All 25 bedrooms have lovely Lakeland views, most leading directly onto the gardens – six Junior Suites have patio doors leading onto the gardens with their own patio area, while six large open plan Garden Suites have their own decked area with individual cedarwood hot tubs, and five fabulous detached Spa Lodges each have individual ensuite spas (treatment beds, steam room, rainmaker shower and stone bath inside, hydrotherapy hot tub and sauna outside) for a very special, private experience.

What can guests enjoy when staying in the Windermere area?

The incredibly beautiful Lake District, with glacial ribbon lakes, rugged fell mountains, historic literary associations, market towns, traditional inns, and galleries of local art.

Where can guests enjoy food and drink?

HRiSHi - The re-named restaurant where Desai’s imaginative dishes combine great Lake District produce and classic methods to deliver modern British dishes with a twist of Asia: unbelievable textures and flavours that satisfy traditionalists while giving experimentalists something new. Gilpin Spice - Opened November 2016, an informal restaurant with funky décor and an open kitchen transcending international boundaries, focusing on a more informal menu with sharing dishes from the spice trail spanning the Indian sub-continent, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan and China. The spices are sourced personally by Desai from around the world.

Other information

Just a mile away from Gilpin Hotel, enter through electric gates to discover Gilpin Lake House, a sanctuary where six gorgeous rooms share a fully staffed boutique hotel with a heated indoor swimming pool, outdoor hot tubs and saunas, and exclusive access to 100 acres of grounds with a stunningly beautiful small private lake. Gilpin Lake House has the feel of a country house with all the services of an hotel. Breakfast is served at the Lake House; complimentary chauffeur will take you to dine at HRiSHi or Gilpin Spice. Set within the grounds, the viewpoint “Cat’s Crag” has 360 degree Lakeland views with a herd of wild deer living nearby. Alternatively the walk around the lake and the gardens can absorb a morning. For the more energetic, there are some beautiful runs and bike trails, coarse fishing for the initiated, even a swim in the lake, or just mess about on the water in one of the rowing boats.
