We had the most wonderful night’s stay at The Gateway Inn - friendly smiley staff, superb drinks selection, delicious dinner (lamb henry and sea bass), comfy bed, sparkly clean bathroom, delicious breakfast (we had the most amazing eggs benedict with perfectly-poached eggs, plus the cereal, yogurt, fruit, granola, nuts and seeds, high-quality jam, toast, cheese, Nutella, tea and coffee….all for £8.95!). We couldn’t have asked for more for a rare getaway as parents of a tween and a teen. Thank you - highly recommend this place!

Very pleasantly surprised.

I stayed for 2 nights whilst on business locally. My initial thought on booking was, it'll do but I was very pleasantly surprised. With it's warm, super friendly atmosphere and cosy furnishings I decided not to venture out & stayed to dine here both nights. I very much enjoyed my meals so much so I went for the Roast Dinner on both evenings - I can highly recommend. Thank you to Emma & Shane, sorry I didn't take the names of the other peeps but they were all lovely!
