Online, September 5, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Gilpin Hotel & Lake House is delighted to announce they have been awarded another coveted award this month, the "UK Independent Hotel of the Year 2012 Award" at the Cateys 2012.

John Cunliffe is over the moon having shared a stage (although perhaps not quite a cuddle) with the gorgeous Joanna Lumley on the award night. "Christine and the rest of us are over the moon having won the much coveted "UK Independent Hotel of the Year 2012 Award" at the hospitality industry's Cateys Awards at Grosvenor House. These awards are the "Hospitality Oscars" and the ultimate accolade for hotels in the UK."

John and Christine Cunliffe, Gilpin Hotel & Lake House owners said "It's an incredible honour to be given this recognition within the hotel industry, among stiff competition, and we are all absolutely thrilled with this special award - it's a real testament to our passionate and very dedicated team."

Being national awards, The Cateys are much revired in the hospitality industry and represent and award chefs, restaurants and hotels through to housekeepers, managers and leisure and tourism specialists.

Gilpin Hotel & Lake House aim to be one of the finest luxury hotels in the Lake District hotels and nationally. Having also recently won AA English Hotel of the Year 2011-2012, it's clear their aim is successfully working out. Purchased in 1987 by John & Christine Cunliffe as a five bedroom bed and breakfast, the past 25 years have seen this modest bed and breakfast being transformed into a 20 bedroom hotel as well as the latest venture Lake House, six stunning suites besides a private tarn.
