Gilpin Bridge Inn

Nice enough place but ‘help yourself breakfast’ had no tables set up. The room had been used for a function the previous evening, which perhaps was the reason.

A nice located hotel, unfortunately spoilt slightly by the very poor breakfast, probably the worst excuse for a continental breakfast I have ever seen.

Travelling with 4 year old daughter, very good stay, stayed for one night to visit family in Kendal, less than 10 mins drive away, large comfortable room, clean and nicely presented, good sized bed and comfortable, shared bed with daughter, large room was unexpected and ideal for her to play, smart decor throughout, didn't eat in bar so can't comment of food but the continental breakfast included although fairly basic was decent and a good selection of options (cooked breakfast you needed to order and separate charge). Small play park outside was also very nice. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Excellent stay, great food great stopover

very nice stop off if travelling on M6 as much better than a Travellodge or Motorway motel . Lovely cosy room with all amenities . Only gripe , kitchen closed at 8 which does seem very early , but that is up to them .

Check-in was quick and easy. Staff was very friendly. Bar and dining were top notch. Room was spacious and modern. Great time!

Staff were attentive and kind. Room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. Shower was excellent. The pub itself offered a wide range of drinks which were reasonably priced. The food (££’s priced) was well cooked / presented and above the standard we have encountered in similar PH’s. The included Continental Breakfast was reasonably extensive and provided a good start to our day. Our only ‘minor’ observations for consideration are: 1) The provision of some basic clothing storage (shelves) in the room would be useful. Also, we had a bedside table on one side - an additional on the other would be handy. 2) The selection of fruit and cakes within the Breakfast was better on the Tuesday morning, presumably after weekend restocking. We do point out that the selection on our first morning (Monday) was OK (adequate), it was just noticeably larger on the Tuesday. Both 1) and 2) are definitely NOT criticisms and we had a lovely stay in this Robinsons establishment. Thank to the friendly and helpful staff and management.

Really like this place, we stayed elsewhere earlier in the year, wish we hadn’t. The management & staff were all very approachable and welcoming. Great fresh food of an evening and breakfast offering good too. All you need in the room BUT Pillows may need attention, (that’s not a negative just preference) Will be heading back soon

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean, good linen and there were enough choices at the continental breakfast. I give this review so that the hotel can take steps to rectify what, to us, seems obvious and beneficial for future guests:- No bedside lights, only a harsh overhead bright light. I love to read in bed but it was unfair to keep my partner awake. The duvet would have been right for a winter's day, however, it was a warm summer's evening and it was impossible to sleep with such a thick covering. It just wasn't a pleasant room to be in, overlooking a wall and the other guest's window. Sadly we won't be booking again.

Comfy room. Value for money

There was a party on I. The bar/room below our room and was very shouty and noisy. We had to call reception before they quietens down. This was just before midnight and we were very tired.

Very friendly staff and I was upgraded to a better room which was unexpected.

When we got there wanted a card number but only had my phone, so had to leave a £50 deposit until checked out. No where did it mention this when booking or on confirmation email. Booking stated breakfast was included in price but only basic continental. They wanted £12 each extra if wanted full breakfast. This breakfast type should have been stated on hotels.com site. No bed side lamp in rooms so had to get out of bed to turn main light off. Staff was friendly but hotel price was not worth it for the standard of accommodation received and I have stayed in 100s of different hotels during my career.

Lovely place and met our needs for one nights stay

Nice place, food was lovely, shame no seasonal vegetables as on the menu we only got leaks

Staff were helpful and pleasant. The accommodation was clean and comfortable.

Staying one night meeting with family. Room was small, nowhere to put a suitcase, no charger in bathroom for toothbrushes of shaver. Meal was more expensive than on website menu. Booked through Hotels.com and described as bed and breakfast, When we arrived breakfast was described as Continental. Cereals, tea, coffee, toast and small shop dry pastries. Told there was yoghurts in fridge, actually 2 only there. Breakfast was from 6am but no staff until 8am, you had to make breakfast yourself. Really disappointed as location is lovely.

Very comfortable hotel, with a wonderful attentive staff. Well kept and clean hotel. Food was generous and very good.No problems or deficiencies encountered. Would certainly consider booking in future.

Really enjoyed our stay here, the room is small but spotless and comfortable. The lady who looked after us at breakfast was brilliant!

The room was small but very clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and friendly, especially the lady who looked after us at breakfast, she was an absolute treasure!
