Gatekeeper's Cottage Reviews

Joanne
Really lovely place to stay, everything you would need for a breakaway. There was lots of cobwebs and spiders everywhere, and a problem with flies. The grill on the oven didn't work. The hot tub was a bonus, but didn't get cleaned or chemicals added during our stay, so by the end of it, it is as very murky. The managers were very welcoming on our arrival.
Lovely place to stay which is well looked after by the caretakers Tim and Michelle who could not be nicer
