There are places where luxury seems so effortless – where there’s a quiet confidence that’s deeply rooted in the quality of the offering. Gilpin Hotel & Lake House is one such place. Situated just off the Crook Road that runs between Kendal and Bowness-on-Windermere, the hotel enjoys a tranquil location among rolling fells on the eastern side of England‘s longest lake. Split over two sites – the hotel and Lake House just a mile away – it’s been a labour of love for many years, and continues to go from strength to strength.
