The whole stay was amazing Great staff around Food was out of this world Will definitely be staying again
United KingdomStunning venue and wonderful place for a proposal. all staff were very keen to make the stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible
United Kingdomwe love the Gilpin, my favourite hotel. everything about it is classy and luxurious. can’t wait to go back soon.
United KingdomWe had our breakfast delivered to the our room ,it was always on time and well cooked and still hot even on the coldest days !
United Kingdomexceptional from start to finish. the staff are incredibly courteous, knowledgeable and truly understand what it means to host. if you can dine, I would recommend every meal of every day…. and make sure you book early for Hrishi. The Michelin star restaurant is sensational - I’m not skilled enough with words to describe, but I very rarely write reviews so this is testament to the whole establishment. excellent. unique. top drawer.
United KingdomRoom was very comfortable and really well equipped. Bed was also very comfortable. Bathroom was excellent with a very good range of toiletries. Views of surrounding area were great, amused to see alpacas outside our room! Free electric car charging was much appreciated. Meals in Hrishi and Gilpin Spice were superb, waiters and sommelier were attentive but not obtrusive and their descriptions of the food and accompanying wine were very good and added to our enjoyment of the meals.
United KingdomFrom the moment we arrived everything was perfect. The staff are exceptional the food in both Gilpin Spice and HRiSHi Restaurant were outstanding. Breakfast, lunch and dinner to a very high standard. I enjoyed a back, neck and Indian head massage in the newly opened treatment room by Sharma, highly recommend. The lounge area with log fire is perfect for relaxing in. It was a very special and memorable 2-night stay.
United KingdomI first saw the Gilpin on an episode of “The Hairy Bikers” it certainly didn’t disappoint. Loved our stay here, very chilled & comfy, everyone helpful & friendly, fab breakfast, we was lucky enough to eat in both restaurants during our stay & the food was simply amazing. We look forward to visiting again, before we left we was shown a beautiful dog friendly room, so next time we can bring our dog 🐕🦺
United KingdomThe attention to detail in this establishment is sublime. Everything is taken care of during your stay. I cannot praise the Hotel, Restaurant’s & Staff highly enough. The food & service in both Restaurants - Hrishi & Gilpin Spice was fantastic. Thank you all at Gilpin for a truly memorable stay
