The Gate House is a superb, five-bedroom manor house resting in the quaint village of Stratton in Gloucestershire. Nestled on the edge of the brilliant Cotswolds AONB, this magnificent abode boasts off-road parking for up to five cars, a large, enclosed garden with lawn and patio space, and a fabulous collection of tastefully-presented interiors, making an idyllic base for large families or a group of friends looking to make memories with a refreshing, self-catered getaway. Park up on the large driveway outside The Gate House, taking a moment to appreciate the stunning façade of the home, with a pillared porch housing a welly rack welcoming into the property. Once inside, be instantly greeted by a stunning array of welcoming living spaces. The fully-equipped kitchen is centrally-located and serves as the social hub of the home, where delicious dinners can be both prepared and enjoyed as a group. To relax, you’ll find a sitting room and a snug, both of which comprise plush seating and their very own fireplaces, as well as two conservatories, where you can kick back to get lost in a good book or enjoy a film or two on the Smart TV. On warmer days, head outside to amble through the surrounding garden, a peaceful setting where you and your loved ones can frolic or delight in a spot of alfresco dining. When the sun sets, refresh in one of the homes’ sleek bathrooms before you finally catch your rest in any of the five decadent king-size bedrooms, spread equally between the first and second-floors. If you can tear yourself from this wonderful retreat, head out to explore what’s on offer in Stratton and beyond. A short walk will bring you to your nearest convenience store, the SPAR, where you can stock up on homely essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be tucked into at the Drillmans Arms or The Plough Inn. Golf lovers can enjoy a round at the nearby Cirencester Golf Club, whilst in neighbouring Cirencester, visitors can peruse a variety of boutique shops, enjoy a drink or two at Somewhere Else or Téatro, book a table at La Bobina or Amore Mio, whilst also stopping by the notable landmarks of the Corinium Museum, Cirencester Amphitheatre, and St Michael's Park. For a day out, jump in the car and head into the heart of the Cotswolds, a magnificent region housing the iconic attractions of the Cerney House Gardens, Lypiatt Park, and the National Trust site of Chedworth Roman Villa. Enjoy the ultimate escape to Gloucestershire by booking The Gate House.

However, though facilities were plentiful some were tired and needed an upgrade. 2 large fridges were leaky, rusty and in need of an upgrade. Hot water was a little scarce with 10 people using it and the top floor shower lacked the energy to provide an acceptable flow. The top floor shower, though well appointed and visually pleasing, was impractical as it leaked dreadfully. However, those niggles aside, we had a pleasant and comfortable stay and would highly recommend The Gate House with those few issues addressed.
