Our stay at Conheath Gatelodge Cottage was perfect. We visited 28th Nov - 5th Dec 2025. Two adults and one child aged 3 years. The Gate lodge had everything we needed for our week long stay. Mrs Murray was very friendly and helpful. The location of the property is great, far enough away to be perfectly peaceful but close enough to amenities. It is a great base for lots activities to keep us all happy such as forest walks, bike rides and the all important soft play. We would definitely recommend and do intend to return.
