Gilpin Mill

Liked: Clean, comfy bed, great log fire.

Disliked: Roads a bit tight to get round the area.

Liked: We loved it all. From the stool to climb into the bed to the willow heart. The woodturning stove which only needed a small log to keep the room warm. The fire pit outside which we would have loved to sit next to, but the weather wasn't on our side. The location is superb. Right under a huge oak tree with sheep in the next field and the river below.

Liked: We had a wonderful stay in the shephard's hut! Super cosy and secluded - just what we hoped for. The hut itself is very comfortable (especially the bed), with brilliant facilities. And the view of the feilds - and sheep - when waking up in the morning... simply glorious! Host Jo (and Doug the dog) went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect stay.

Liked: A really sweet and cosy place to stay. We loved it and would certainly stay again. Neat, clean, well-appointed (only a single gas cook top, but that is fine) and a super comfortable bed, which doubles as a great spot to sit and knit or read when the weather is a bit rainy. Single lane road access to the site is fun, so take it slowly, and don't be afraid to reverse if you need to let someone else pass! Jo the host and her dog Doug were very welcoming.

Liked: My girlfriend and I booked this for my birthday weekend and we had a fantastic time! The weather unfortunately was dreadful, so we couldn't do as much walking as we would have liked, however the Gilpin Mill was brilliant. Very clean and cosy - It had a lovely shower. When we did get a slight break in the weather, we were able to set up the camp fire out the front and toast some marshmallows. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Great location for walks and near the local pub - The Brown Horse - where we had a fantastic Sunday roast.

Liked: Gilpin Mill Shepherds hut was simply perfect. I booked a last minute trip, and I can't put into words how wonderful this spot is. The hut is spotless, located in idyllic surroundings, and I was blessed with the best weather. The location is perfect for walks all around Southern Lakes. As a single female, I felt safe, and instantly relaxed. I cannot recommend this place more highly.

Liked: This is such an amazing place almost didn’t want to do a review because it was so magical. If you are the type of people who enjoy being in nature and just want to escape then I challenge you to find a more perfect spot. Jo was so welcoming and Doug the dog a perfect gentleman, we saw deer on our early morning walks plus many beautiful birds right outside the door and the bluebells scent filled the air each day…..just perfect
