Gilpin Hotel & Lake House, hotel in Bowness-on-Windermere

Gilpin Hotel & Lake House, an AA 5 Red Star, Relais & Châteaux hotel near Windermere in the beautiful Lake District.

Originally we stayed at the hotel which was lovely but then we moved to the Lake House which was absolutely wonderful - we tried both restaurants - both amazing - as were the staff - to name a couple Dave who drove us to the restaurant from the Lake House and back again - nothing was too much trouble - Emma the lovely receptionist who is an absolute credit to the Gilpin and the barman at the Lake House - in fact, all staff were amazing and a complete credit to this wonderful family run hotel. We’ll definitely return

    It is so easy going in Bowness we try to come here as often as we can. There’s something to do for everyone young and old. We have a dog now and he’s so relaxed here many places are dog friendly. Bars and restaurants brilliant especially Italians on the Main Street. Our favourite place can’t wait to come back

    I liked the Beatrix Potter museum, Holehird Gardens, and Stagshaw gardens, Hayes garden centre up in Ambleside. Booked an amazing day trip with Mountain Goat tours that took us around ten Lakes of the Lake District with our amazing guide Mark Shipley. the restaurants I went to was Francine's up in Windermere, Urban Food House (superb) and the Magic Roundabout. I was within walking distance of everything in Bowness. I probably would avoid booking in the school holidays, was very busy everywhere. the weather was very changeable but it is the wettest area of Great Britain.

    Visiting Bowness in November was a great idea.

    Visiting Bowness in November was a great idea. I have been in the summer before and it is so busy it is unpleasant and parking is difficult. I would advise visitors to choose a hotel with private parking - preferably free, some charge for parking - leave a car there and walk to town or to the lakeside. Also be aware that Bowness is built on a steep hill and not all roads have pavements.

    The town and area around Bowness are beautiful.

    The town and area around Bowness are beautiful. We were able to walk and visit an amazing Arts and Crafts house and then see a very undeveloped part of the lake shore on foot. The ferry across the lake was nearby and the walk to Hill Top to see Beatrix Potter's house was beautiful and well signed. We had good meals in a pub and bistro near to Fairfield House so not needing to use the car made the location great for us.

    Graham was really pleasant and allowed us to park the car at the door to drop off our luggage. The carpark was only a few minutes walk away. Rooms were clean and tidy. Shower and bathroom bigger then expected and fabulous to use as we were two girls sharing getting ready for a wedding. Breakfast was delicious, presentation beautifully set out. All other guests seemed friendly and chatted. It was a stones throw to the belsfield hotel to which our wedding was.

    Great apartment with everything you need, spacious, well equipped, clean and modern. Location also excellent as it's up the hill from the middle of town, with some nice views of Lake Windermere, but still only a 10min walk in via a relatively flat shortcut.
