Set in the ancient beauty of the Gilpin Valley, with 72 acres of private woodland and beautiful tarn, this traditional inn takes its name from the local legend of Sir Richard de Gilpin who bravely fought and killed a ferocious wild boar close by.

However, its fame these days has much more to do with the warmest of welcomes and standard of service complemented by individually designed rooms, and the Grill & Smokehouse and the open kitchen offering more theatre to the overall dining experience.

Head Chef Marc Sanders will proudly display his commitment to the best locally produced seasonal ingredients.

Some of the bedrooms boast features such as copper baths and log fires.

Guests can enjoy full complimentary use of our sister hotel’s extensive leisure complex, at Low Wood Bay, which boasts a feature pool, indoor spa bath and outdoor hot tub, steam room, sauna, solarium, fitness suite, squash court and beauty salon.
