Lark Lane

Clean room with tea and coffee making facilities. There was a notice in the bathroom indicating that the water pressure may be low due to an old plumbing system but we had no issues with the water whatsoever. The view from the room, and indeed the balcony area in the pub, was absolutely superb. The local area is lovely too. Staff were nice and helpful too. The hotel is right on the waterfront, around a 10 min drive from Lakeside pier on Lake Windermere but I would personally recommend driving c.20 mins to Bowness on Windermere if you prefer a livelier location with more options. My only comment would be the QR codes in the helpful information booklets provided took you to an old menu for the pub food and i think it would be beneficial if that could be updated.

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.

The bedroom and bathroom were lovely, the breakfasts amazing, the staff always happy to help and the location just off the A590 was perfect for exploring the whole Lake District. My only rejoinder was that the stairs to the rooms are a little challenging for someone like me who is mobility impaired. Additional banisters and/or handles would greatly help but I managed overall and we were very happy with our stay. Evening meals were exceptional too. I would rank the Hare and Hounds in Levens as being in the top 1% of bed and breakfast inns I have stayed in out of maybe 150 visited in he past 5 years. Thoroughly recommended!
