A luxury Lake District hotel has been named among the best of the best by TripAdvisor in its new one of a kind category.
Gilpin Hotel & Lake House, the family-run hotel near Windermere, was awarded the accolade as part of the review platform’s Travellers’ Choice Awards 2025 – a prestigious honour that places the Lake District retreat among the top 10 rated ‘one-of-a-kind’ hotels in the country.
The awards are based on consistently exceptional reviews and ratings from travellers, recognising Gilpin Hotel & Lake House, for its commitment to outstanding service, luxurious comfort and unforgettable guest experiences.
General manager Thomas Ferrante said: “It’s incredibly rewarding to see the hard work of our team recognised by the people who matter most – our guests.
“At Gilpin we always strive to give a little something extra, both in the service and attention to detail, and in the elevated accommodation – it’s what makes a stay here all that more special, and, we hope, extraordinary.
“We’re particularly delighted with the One-of-a-Kind Award, we’ve always tried to do things a bit differently and this really reflects the care and attention we put into every guest’s stay.”
