Gatekeepers Reviews

2 star accommodation in a 5 star location. Cottage is quaint and has all the basics plus the hot tub in the garden. The garden itself is pet safe but nothing but weedsmoss so nothing to enjoy. The hot tub takes about 2.5 hours to warm up so be prepared for a project when you want to use. Lovely to enjoy eventually! Inside, the kitchen is convenient but not well equipped so bring own supplies. Living room is ok but as others have commented the sofas are not comfortable. The WiFi and TV is very poor and you cannot rely on it.
Bridget
The cottage is excellent and we had a great time. We did feel the kitchen could have been a little better equiped, i.e. a small bowl for mixing and enough plates for everyone and putting things like toast on the table.Silly things, but it is a high standard cottage and everything is usually spot on with Sykes and feedback can improve what is already an excellent place.
Michael
We had a nice 5 night stay at Gatekeeper Cottage. A nice hamper of goodies was provided and the cottage was well presented for our stay. As the cottage is surrounded by very tall trees there was not much sunlight in the garden area and we were informed the trees are also for the poor TV reception, but the hot tub was a bonus along with loads of logs for its log fire heating system we had it at 38 for three nights. Could do with some more comfy sofas in the lounge though!!
Michelle
The only problem was the bath and sink would not drain
Sophie
Had a really lovely stay at the Gatekeepers which is in a lovely location in the grounds of a hotel. We stayed as a family of four 2 adults 2 children and it was just about big enough for us for four nights. The beds were very comfy and the shutters meant it was lovely and dark to sleep. We used the wood fired hot tub and the wood burner. A couple of things that could be done to improve the property the furniture such as the sofas Id have had one that was bigger and a separate chair and the wardrobes etc would benefit from an upgrade and silly things like a better selection of glasses and bowls. The bathroom too could do with a little tlc as water from the shower gets everywhere, such as on the window frame and you can see the effects of that water damage. The hotel staff are all lovely and helpful we used the bar and the snooker room and the grounds as just beautiful. Its perfectly situated for exploring the areas and having the enclosed garden and the hotel grounds to walk the dog was fantastic.
Andrew
Super accommodation in lovely surroundings. Generous welcome hamper which was thoroughly enjoyed.
Daniel
Overall this is the perfect getaway for small families or couples. Plenty of garden for our children and two frenchies to play in. Also access to the hotel grounds was a nice touch from walking round the grounds to having a beer and a game of snooker. Will be definitely coming back and doing it all again!
