Gilpin Hotel & Lake House is a five-star Relais & Châteaux property near Windermere in the picturesque Lake District adored by foodies, wellness enthusiasts and couples craving a romantic escape.

Boasting Two Michelin Keys, it’s set across two separate estates, a little over a mile from each other: the laidback Gilpin Hotel with 30 rooms and suites, including the iconic Spa Suites, and then the eight-bedroom Gilpin Lake House nestled in 100 acres which has a private lake, swimming pool, sauna and outdoor hot tubs.

Widely regarded as one of the UK’s standout destinations for its wellness offering and private spa trails, Gilpin is renowned for its Spa Suites and Spa Lodges – among the first in the country to offer fully self-contained spa facilities built directly into the accommodation itself.

The Spa Suites each house an outdoor stone-built hot tub, a sauna, steam room, infrared lounge bed and a state-of-the-art Japanese automated massage chair.

The perfect place to unwind and indulge, guests at the Hotel can also enjoy the Spa Space, with its array of spa experiences including a special Lake District walking massage using local products from Pure Lakes, while Lake House guests can relax with an indulgent pampering in the elevated Jetty Spa treatment room overlooking the lake. For true indulgence, enjoy afternoon tea at the Lake House with incredible private lakeland views.

Gilpin Hotel & Lake House is home to two delicious restaurants; Michelin-starred SOURCE at Gilpin Hotel run by head chef Kevin Scanlan, and the funky pan-Asian Gilpin Spice. The menu at SOURCE is both fun and highly technical, bringing the best of nature’s bounty from across the British Isles to the fore.

Competition closes on 1 August 2026.
