Condé Nast Traveller and Gilpin Hotel & Lake House are giving away an indulgent stay for two. The prize includes two nights in a spa suite, a Michelin-starred tasting menu dinner in Source at Gilpin Hotel, including a wine flight, a second dinner at Gilpin Spice, and a spa treatment each to the value of £200.

Gilpin Hotel & Lake House is a hidden gem in the picturesque Lake District adored by foodies, wellness enthusiasts and couples craving a romantic escape. It’s set across two hotels on separate estates, a little over a mile from each other: the laidback Gilpin Hotel and Gilpin Lake House, a blissful country retreat.

At Gilpin Lake House, guests amble elegantly between the swimming pool, the Lake House Jetty Spa and dining spaces by day, raising full-bodied reds to the crackle of a fire in the lounge by night. Set within a 100-acre estate, there are enough corners of unspoilt garden and enchanting woodland to warrant countless hours of exploration on a sunny afternoon.

Meanwhile, Gilpin Hotel boasts a serene Spa Space, glitzy Champagne Bar, cosy lounge space and 30 sumptuous bedrooms – including the in-demand spa suites. These cedar-clad suites, set across 100 square metres, are filled with light through floor-to-ceiling windows and feature all of the amenities the modern traveller requires, from Sonos sound systems to mood lighting. Beyond the bedroom, lounge and open-plan bathroom, guests unwind in each suite’s private spa area, equipped with massage beds, a sauna and a steam room.

As the sun makes its descent over the trees and the stars glitter overhead, gourmands gear up for Michelin-starred fare created by Ollie Bridgwater (formerly of Fat Duck) at Source. Elsewhere, pan-Asian dishes inspired by the spice trail roll out of the kitchen at Gilpin Spice, before satiated visitors seek the comfort of their beds or continue the night with new friends in the bar.
