Stayed here one night on our way home to Scotland. The property is easy to find with plenty free parking. Easy check in with helpful, friendly staff. The room was very clean, tea and coffee in the room, everything you need. We had a meal here in the evening and it was delicious. Really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Gilpin Bridge Inn.

Property appears to have been recently made over, everything is new and fresh, extremely clean and although on the small side the rooms are perfect for overnight stays, comfortable bed and with more than enough tea/coffee supplies unlike a lot of places. The continental breakfast was excellent quality and plentiful. We could not fault the staff who were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall excellent value for money and we will definitely go back

A little honey pot, when people get to know about Gilpin, you will not be able to get a room. Wonderful food, very help staff. The only little down point, is there isn’t a cooked breakfast. But, the breakfast which I did have was delicious.

Unfortunately the carpark spaces are very small for today's size cars. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Standard room was small but very good value for money. Location perfect for gateways to lakes or for a stop off to Scotland
