Fodor's Expert Review Gilpin Hotel & Lake House
Crook Rd., Windermere, Cumbria, LA23 3NE, England Fodor's Choice
Hidden among 22 acres of grounds with meandering paths leading to sleek, spacious lodges, this rambling country house provides the ultimate pampering. The family-run lodging, in a converted 1901 house with two modern wings, has plush public rooms furnished with comfy sofas and warmed by log fires. Bedrooms embody contemporary-rustic chic; most have sitting areas opening onto the gardens and some have cedarwood hot tubs. The Gilpin Spa offers treatments with ESPA and natural local products, and the Gilpin Spa Suites come with their own personal spa room.
