About Gilpin Mill
Gilpin Mill has been a mill from the 1500's to the end of the 19th century. Now, with a new mill house built for comfort and relaxation with oak beams, slate floors and open fires Gilpin Mill is a very welcoming bed and breakfast run by Steve and Jo Ainsworth.
Although the house is within a fifteen minute drive to Lake Windermere it is well off the beaten track and offers complete peace and quiet, especially in the south facing garden.
When it comes to eating out ten minutes on country lanes will take you to the nearest pubs, either the award winning Punch Bowl in Crosthwaite, the Brown Horse at Winster, Gilpin Spice or, for fine dinning, the Gilpin Hotel.
There are plenty of footpaths for walkers and country lanes and bridleways for cyclists on the doorstep. For golfers there are two courses within two miles of Gilpin Mill and there is a good quality, municipal tennis court down the lane in Crosthwaite.
