Gilpin Hotel and Spa

Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, Gilpin offers a world-class spa experience that blends relaxation with nature. With multiple spa options, it’s a haven for those seeking indulgence, tranquility, and a touch of exclusivity.

The Jetty Spa Trail over at the wonderful Gilpin Lake House is a standout experience at Gilpin. Set in a secluded location with breathtaking views of the countryside, this private spa experience is perfect for couples. Guests are guided through a serene journey that includes an outdoor hot tub, a cosy sauna, and a woodland trail leading to a secluded treatment room for massages and other ultra-relaxing activities. The experience concludes with a Champagne afternoon tea and, dear reader, I assure you, you’ll never have felt relaxation quite like this before. 

For those who prefer a private wellness retreat, Gilpin’s Spa Lodges offer the ultimate escape. Each lodge comes with its own hydrotherapy hot tub, a personal sauna, and a steam room. With floor-to-ceiling windows, guests can immerse themselves in nature while enjoying world-class spa facilities in complete privacy. The lodges are designed for couples looking to unwind at their own pace, with spa treatments available in the comfort of their lodge.

Then there are the Spa Suites. These take things to the next level, where that level is a world-class, all-in-one wellness retreat. These suites feature a private spa room with a massage bed, infrared sauna, steam shower, and hydrotherapy bath, so guests can enjoy treatments without leaving their room. Each suite also has an outdoor hot tub overlooking the scenic Lake District landscapes, providing the perfect balance of indoor and outdoor relaxation.

For guests staying in Gilpin Hotel or suites without built-in spa facilities, the Swedish Spa Treatment Room offers an excellent alternative. Located in the main hotel, this spa room provides a range of treatments, including massages, facials, and holistic therapies. Expert therapists use high-quality products and techniques to ensure a rejuvenating experience.

Hot off the press, the Gilpin team has just launched in-bedroom Spa Space hampers – bespoke handmade hampers tailored to each room type. They include everything from essential oil diffusers to Gua Sha facial massage stones, and are included in room bookings of three nights or more.

Pleasingly, they’re sustainably packaged in bespoke reusable wooden boxes, with unused products recycled (and the packaging sanitised) before reuse.

Gilpin’s spa options cater to a variety of preferences, whether you seek complete privacy, a guided spa journey, or a luxurious suite with built-in wellness facilities. The setting, combined with exceptional service and high-end treatments, makes it one of the most exclusive spa destinations in the north.
