We absolutely loved our stay at Gilpin Mill. Steve and Jo were fabulous hosts and the B&B was gorgeous. We were served delicious breakfasts (different each morning) and they were completely flexible about timing. We were given lots of helpful advice (and maps!) for walks in the local area and while the B&B feels like it is off the beaten... More

The Lakes District was covered in unseasonal snow and it was very cold outside, but we received a warm and friendly welcome from Steve and Jo. They are naturals at the B & B business and make the perfect hosts. Their home is warm and inviting. We slept well, ate outstanding breakfasts (different every morning) and received excellent directions/maps to... More

Accommodation is excellent – bathroom superb, but above all, Steve and Jo’s welcome was the... More
