Gibbon Bridge Hotel

Have visited many times in the past but standards have fallen of late. The carpet from the bar leading into the dining room was dirty, the dining chairs allocated were not clean and two wine glasses had to be replaced because they had been used and left with traces of red wine. The meals in these trying times are understandably more measured but quality must be maintained.. A beautiful welcoming venue let’s hope that this was just an off day.

The rooms which we were allocated were badly in need of total refurbishment. We don't think the rooms have been refurbished since the hotel was built 42 years ago, it is a shame since the area is outstanding. We will be visiting again but we will not stay at the Gibbon Bridge As a last thought all of the prices at the Gibbon Bridge are exorbitant.

Enjoyed our second time here for a musical afternoon tea. Just a delight all round, tasty food, wonderful pianist, attentive service throughout and idyllic surroundings. Ideal treat for anyone celebrating a birthday, anniversary or just fancy a treat.

Having read the reviews here, we were looking forward to our two night stay, however, left feeling hugely let down and disappointed. The photos of bedrooms on the hotel website bore no relation at all to the two rooms we were allocated. Those photos depicted colourful styled rooms. We were allocated room 8, a ‘greige’ dull, extremely old fashioned room and my husband and I laughed when we first saw it. Is this what we had paid close to £300 for our two night treat away. We both said we couldn’t stay in there, and tried calling reception. Phone didn’t work. So we traipsed back down and asked to be allocated a different room, there being only a suite available for our two night stay. We paid a small amount extra to ‘upgrade’. Room 12 was much larger but equally depressing with old fashioned tired furniture, a stained carpet and a bed which we had to re-make because the duvet was bunched up on one side inside the cover. The staff were all very pleasant, and the garden looked beautiful but it is a shame that the same level of attention had not been applied to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Hotel stays should be a treat, somewhere exciting to stay away from one’s own four walls but we were disappointed and chose to get up early at 4.30am to head home on our second night.

We were so lucky to be invited to our friend's daughter's wedding at this wonderful venue and stayed the night. It was a perfect day, the venue is in a beautiful location and is a beautiful place. Every morsel of food I ate was delicious, beautifully cooked and presented and plenty of it. After breakfast this morning I feel like I actually don't need to eat for a week. This hotel is as good as it is because of it's amazing staff, they are the reason it's such special place.they are so welcoming, friendly and want everything to be perfect for all their guests not just the bride and groom. It is a very special place.Thank you for the loveliest day.(Oh and our bedroom was huge, the bed so comfy, with lovely views of the fells too!!)

A well appointed hotel with extensive mature gardens in a quiet rural setting. Rooms look to have been recently decorated and have all the usual amenities. Food is of a good standard but fully priced. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Apart from a couple of very minor issues with dining room service a good overall experience.
