This hotel far exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a beautuful Spa Suite, a stunning private detached lodge with lovely views, and fantastically equipped including a steam room, sauna, massage/wellness room. The open plan living/dining/ bathroom area had a gas real flame fire, and large wall mounted smart tv with Sky TV, his and her showers and hand basins, a large bowl shaped bath. Bath robes and slippers were supplied as well as robes to be used in the spa area of the lodge. The room was cleaned daily, and serviced twice a day with the quality towels changed on each occasion. Tea, coffee and biscuits were replenished twice daily. We had a well-stocked mini-bar. The bedroom overlooked our own miniature tarn. Outside was an ample deck area with large hot tub. The underfloor heating kept us warm during the freezing weather and storm over our time there. Transport to and from our accommodation to the main hotel building and restaurants is provided at any time, if required. From our first minute of arrival, to checking out, the professionalism, efficiency and friendliness of all staff was outstanding. The food, drink and service in both Source and Spice restaurants was of the highest quality. Breakfast choice was extensive and, again, high quality. The 80 minute couples massage, we had in the hotel's own spa, was heavenly. The extensive grounds provide ample walks and feature pot bellied pigs and Llamas. We have stayed in a number of 5 star hotels around the world. The Gilpin is unsurpassed.
