Gilpin Bridge Inn

Gilpin Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent
"From arrival to leaving nothing was too much trouble. I was on my own and the staff were more than helpful as to where to visit . The food was varied and excellent. Breakfast was basic continental but didn’t want any more. I make what I consider sensible comments not criticism and mentioned these to them. 1 possibly a small fridge in the room in view of current conditions but found out I was lucky and had a larger room so this wasn’t feasible throughout. I tray in shower to hold bits would be helpful. I mentioned. Non slip shower mat but was informed that they were available but no one asked. All in all an excellent 3 nights and I would go again. After I lose weight from the food!"
