Five-star spa suites, alpacas in the field, and dogs welcome at Gilpin Spice
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
Twenty-two acres of grounds with resident alpacas and micro pigs sit around the house, and the School Knott and Brant Fell paths above Bowness are a short drive with Windermere's shore about two miles away.
Dogs eat with you at Gilpin Spice, but not at SOURCE in the evening.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 30, Per dog per stay
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
A selection of bedrooms is set aside for dogs. Gilpin Spice takes dogs, which covers dinner on the nights you eat there. SOURCE does not take dogs during evening service. The spa is people only. Twenty-two acres of grounds are open to them.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
