We had 4 nights at Gilsland Spa Hotel and enjoyed every minute. Our bedroom (109)overlooked a lovely valley, this was February ,it quite possibly would look even better in spring and summer. Breakfast is buffet style which suits us (as much or as little)as you want, plenty of variety and well cooked. Free tea and biscuits in afternoon followed by... More

My husband and I travelled with Applebys Coaches to Gilsland Spa Hotel. We could not fault the rooms food or service. The evening entertainment was aimed at the more senior members of our group, but it did help to get people mixing. We visited in February when it was cold but every room in the hotel was warm and welcoming.... More

Had a lovely stay here during our walk of Hadrians wall. The hotel itself is comfortable and clean with friendly staff, if a little tired looking and dated. We did feel as if we had landed in coach trip land and were probably the youngest guests there. However, we had a lovely evening with our friends after an adequate meal... More

If you are planning to stay here then do read all the reviews. Those who have stayed in the best rooms have had a good experience but if you stay in the Spa rooms (still £90 for a couple per night) or below then I would suggest that you're very likely to be disappointed with your stay. Our room was... More

This was a last minute booking and from a distance this hotel looks impressive and it is set in a stunning location. However, the hotel decor is very dated and the rooms very simply furnished. It does have an air of the care home about it but that said, staff are very friendly, the beds comfortable and breakfast is very... More
