Would recommend The Gateway.

Very nice room, clean and tidy, mattress was a little bit soft but other than that superb. Arrival chocolates was a nice touch too. Food was amazing and good selection of beers available.

Staff were very nice. Beautiful building in a convenient location. Our room’s heater couldn’t be adjusted or turned off so we were really hot. The linen and furnitures were comfortable. The tv was tiny, so that should definitely upgraded. Breakfast was delicious. We didn't have dinner but the reviews showed high recommendations from other guests.

The property is already known for excellent food. This was the first time I had stayed there and I wasn’t disappointed. The room had been recently upgraded and the shower was fantastic with high quality shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Breakfast wasn’t included but I was delighted I paid for it. Quality, hot, delicious breakfast. It’s a good idea to offer two sizes of breakfast, regular and large. I also ate there in the evening and again the food was delicious . All the staff were welcoming and really looked after me. I will be back.

Staff were welcoming, room warm and clean with lovely views. Would stay there again. One minor grumble: no-one told us about fire precautions. On our 1st stay our room was up a very narrow twisty staircase which would have been difficult to get down if there was a fire.

The property was perfect for an autumn weekend away. There must of been an issue with the thermostat however as it felt like 100oC despite the windows open. Couldn’t switch the radiators off. Given the price of the booking, you’d of thought breakfast was included, I was wrong. Wanted to eat in the hotel in the evening, as the food smelt delicious however was told by staff that all tables were full for the night which was a shame. So a late night shop to Booths it was.

Lovely hotel, convenient location, quite scenic (excluding the road thatvwas rather busy). The staff were excellent, evening meal was great and at a good price. Room was spacious and well decorated. A few negatives unfortunately, the room was extremely dusty in places such as the corners and bottom of the table, the less obvious places. Although the restaurant was lovely food, i wasn't a fan of being able to smell every dish that was cooked in our room which in turn meant all our cloths smelled of cooking. I had to stand on a chair to draw the curtains as they would not move on the curtain pole. A personal opinion which may not matter to others was the mattress, i like a medium or firm mattress, this im afraid was like sleeping on a bean bag, very soft and had the sinking effect which lead to a poor nights sleep, however a soft mattress may favour other guests.
