This is a lovely property let down by poor cleanliness. Shame because it’s spacious and also close to the town centre that’s just a few minutes drive away.

We loved staying at the Gatehouse so much, we’ve booked another visit! Very comfortable, tastefully and thoughtfully furnished and kitted out with everything we needed. The beds were the comfiest we’ve slept in. A very tranquil place with a lovely view, and plenty of wildlife to watch. We didn’t want to leave.
