Whether you opt for the laid-back ambiance of Gilpin Hotel or the distinct combination of hotel and country house at Gilpin Lake House, your experience with us is designed to be effortlessly harmonious.
Gilpin Hotel & Lake House are part of the prestigious Pride of Britain Hotels and we are proud to be one of the 580 members of Relais & Châteaux, an association of worldwide independent hotel and restaurant owners.
The housekeeping department is a busy hub of activity, so you’ll never be bored with us! We have 30 individually styled bedrooms so if you’re a secret interior designer at heart our hotel is full of inspiration. We’re like no other standard hotel, we have lots of little quirks, personality and luxury in our rooms – just one of the reasons our housekeeping team enjoy working in this area.
