The Gatehouse is a beautiful property on a beautiful estate. The accommodation itself is thoughtfully presented and comfortable. I have already recommended the estate to others and would come again.

Very peaceful
It was a much needed peaceful stay. The cottage was very cute. Very disappointed we couldn’t have the fireplace going in March when it was quite cool. Spa bath was lovely but old and taps were hard to turn. The gardens were beautiful but wasn’t aware the other cottage and house would be so close, so not as much privacy as I expected. Could do with a better clean as there were some dead flies and bugs in the sun room. Couch was a little uncomfortable.
Overall a lovely stay on a peaceful property and a much needed rest.
