“Clean and comfortable”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

We stayed one night only for a family funeral, so we travelled up on a Sunday evening and arrived around 10pm. The staff on duty were pleasant and helpful, they took our bags up to our room. We decided to go down to the bar for a night cap,just before 10 30pm only to find every where in darkness and... More

“Unique, intimate and friendly”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

This hotel is such a refreshing change to so many places I have stayed in. The location is good, being not far from the main arterial roads, yet close enough to the town centre. The rooms are really lovely but me the selling point of this hotel is the unique Intimacy coupled with the great service from the staff. I... More

Just come back from a two day break and would thoroughly recommend this hotel. The staff are friendly and very good at recommending places to visit. The room we had was lovely (room 2).

“stay sy the Best Western Gatehouse hotel”

Stayed one night on business. Very friendly staff with an upgrade in my room. Very good dinner (especially the steak) and if you have the full English breakfast you will not be disappointed!

Stayed here for one night during the week for work. Chose to stay here as reasonable price and ok reviews. Staff were welcoming and nice.

“Individual character to chain hotel”

This property is a little like a tardis. From the road it looks small and unimpressive. Walk round the back and it starts to look and feel like a country house hotel. It has a wood panelled reception area and a winding staircase to the bedrooms. It can feel a little deserted and you have to ring the bell for... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of the hotel. I take on board all the feedback you have given and will use this to help make improvements.

Breakfast consisted of buffet plus cooked to order wide selection which was excellent... More

“Excellent food but awful room”

Reviewed 2 December 2012 via mobile

Stayed here whilst working away from home. Staff were very friendly and dinner in the restaurant was lovely but the room was awful. It was directly opposite the reception so you could hear everyone checking in. One wondered wether it should in fact be staff quarters?? The shower looked dirty and uninviting but the most off putting thing was the... More
