Property appears to have been recently made over, everything is new and fresh, extremely clean and although on the small side the rooms are perfect for overnight stays, comfortable bed and with more than enough tea/coffee supplies unlike a lot of places. The continental breakfast was excellent quality and plentiful. We could not fault the staff who were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall excellent value for money and we will definitely go back

A little honey pot, when people get to know about Gilpin, you will not be able to get a room. Wonderful food, very help staff. The only little down point, is there isn’t a cooked breakfast. But, the breakfast which I did have was delicious.

Welcoming, friendly staff despite a busy day. Our room was clean and warm. The food plentiful. Breakfast is a self-service continental style. We would recommend the Gilpin Bridge and would definitely book again.

Unfortunately the carpark spaces are very small for today's size cars. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Standard room was small but very good value for money. Location perfect for gateways to lakes or for a stop off to Scotland

A great location to stop after a long drive. Very convenient. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was spotless with lovely locally sourced products. Whilst we didn't eat dinner here it was busy and there us a children's play area too. We ate at the Hare & Hounds; a very pleasant 20 minute walk away. There is plenty of car parking spaces at the Gilpin. The breakfast is very basic. We would definitely stay again but not opt for the breakfast.

Very clean room and lovely friendly staff. Food was hit or miss, lovely mushroom starter then the special lasagne was dry, and bland. Breakfast was diy. Not a great range of options.
