The world's most spectacular jacuzzis, hot tubs, and onsen
Set in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside in an extraordinary place – the Lake District National Park – the Gilpin Hotel (their Lake House is located one mile up the road on a separate estate) is close to Windermere village.
In the main hotel the rooms are exquisitely designed and six have their own private gardens and cedarwood hot tubs.
At the beautiful lake house (a mile from the main hotel) there are just six suites, exclusively sharing 40 hectares of grounds including a private lake, the jetty spa, heated indoor swimming pool, salt snug, boat house and cedarwood hot tub.
The Spa Lodges each have a convertible treatment area, steam room, rain maker shower, free standing oval stone bath, outdoor sauna and hydrotherapy hot tub surrounded by a walled garden – and wonderful views over the gardens to the Lake District moors.
25 rooms; 6 with their own cedarwood hot tubs, and 5 detached Spa Lodges, each with their own ensuite spa (rainmaker showers and steam rooms inside, hydrotherapy jacuzzis and saunas outside).
140km from Manchester Airport and 150km from Liverpool Airport.
The Gilpin have two restaurants on-site, the Michelin starred HRiSHi, Hrishikesh Desai and the Gilpin Spice.
All hotel guests are also given complimentary passes to Choices Health Club in Troutbeck Bridge with facilities that include a large gym, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and indoor hot tub.
Make sure you pack right for your trip to the Lake District.
The hotel is a characterful Georgian house, built in 1901 and owned by three generations of the Cunliffe family.
