Although it was only a short visit we both felt relaxed and spoilt and staying in the Lake House meant that our afternoon was split between the heat of the hot tub and the coolness of the lake as we were lucky enough to have fantastically warm weather. The staff were so polite,helpful and so friendly you couldn't help but... More

If you wish to get away from it all and have a few days of peace and quiet this is the place to be. A former bed and breakfast that has transformed over time into an excellent hotel and restaurant. The Gilpin Hotel & Lakehouse prides itself on service if you visit here it exudes from the very core of... More

As soon as we arrived at the Gilpin we were greeted like old friends coming to stay. We were made comfortable and had a glass of wine whilst our room was made ready. We originally were staying at the Lake House, but due to unforeseen circumstances were given one of the Garden Suites instead. The room was large, spacious and... More

My husband and I stayed at Gilpin Lodge for three nights for our honeymoon. We had a garden suite and could not fault it. It was spacious, clean and comfortable with everything you needed. The hot-tub was a great little extra. The food was absolutely amazing! The staff were friendly and extremely accommodating. The location is fantastic with a short... More

This was not our first visit and we will be back again. The hotel is outstanding and we have been going there for the past 15 years whether its a long weekend, sunday lunch or afternoon tea. The location means that getting into the Lakes is easy but the hotel and grounds are so relaxing and captivating that you often... More

We stayed here in February 2012 for a family birthday for two nights. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, the food was some of the best I have ever tasted! Would highly recommend it and would definately go back.

I booked 4 nights at the Gilpin Hotel for my husband's 50th Birthday. The hotel was impeccable, the staff were very attentive, friendly and personable, yet not stuffy or pretentious. Every detail was perfect. The breakfasts were worth getting out of the cozy beds for each morning. The deck and hot tub were something of heaven. Big roomy bathrooms with... More
