Gilpin Hotel & Lake House

From: £21,500; Love Story package: exclusive use of Gilpin Lake House for two nights, ceremony and wedding breakfast in the conservatory
Bedrooms: 38
Style: Hotel

A Lake District retreat with 30 bedrooms and its own Lake House — an 8-room private estate on 100 acres with a personal lake, boathouse and spa — Gilpin offers exclusive-hire weddings in the Lake District.

The story

A Lake District retreat with its own lake

Gilpin Hotel & Lake House sits in the Lake District near Windermere. The Hotel is home to two restaurants, Michelin-starred SOURCE and Pan-Asian Spice, and a resident herd of llamas and alpacas, and every guest has a private Spa Trail. Gilpin Lake House is a private house within 100 acres of woodland, gardens and its own lake, Knipe Tarn, with eight bedrooms, rowing boats, a boathouse, hot tubs, a sauna and a swimming pool. It sleeps up to sixteen across individually designed bedrooms, including two Spa Suites overlooking the lake, and afternoon tea is served beside the water.

Weddings centre on the Lake House, which can be booked in its entirety with no other guests. The Love Story package, for 16 to 60 people, includes exclusive use for two nights, with the ceremony and wedding breakfast in the conservatory, Champagne afternoon tea and a private dinner the day before, a Wedding Day Manager and a complimentary night on the first anniversary. The day itself brings a Champagne reception with canapés, a four-course wedding breakfast with paired wines, and an evening of live music, DJs, dancing and even fireworks over the lake. Smaller Just You & Me and You, Me & Them packages cover two to six people, though couples must be resident at the Hotel or Lake House.
