8/10 Very good

Very clean and staff hepful and friendly. Rooms small but perfectly adequate for short stay. Breakfast selection in room rather than in an eating area. Continental as expected but too sweet and rich for our taste.

8/10 Very good

The hotel was comfortable and clean, the staff very friendly & helpful we only had one thing that meant only 4 star rating & that was our lunch, very over priced for what we got, a roast beef sandwich should have thicker meat - please not wafer thin! Still recommend the hotel and would stay there again

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here one night on our way home to Scotland. The property is easy to find with plenty free parking. Easy check in with helpful, friendly staff. The room was very clean, tea and coffee in the room, everything you need. We had a meal here in the evening and it was delicious. Really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Gilpin Bridge Inn.

Plenty of parking, good bar, good food, very friendly & helpful staff, breakfast was very poor, & don't expect to get a good night's sleep, as the walls are very thin.

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.

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

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.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

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.
