My Wife and I stayed for a Wonderful week at the Gatehouse.The location is perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, The Lakes and The Pennines.The Gatehouse is well equiped in all ways, with under floor heating, to assure a very compfortable stay. There is a beautiful view, of the rolling hills, from the rear of the property. Also there is plenty of wildlife around the property , Hares , Tawny Owls, Parrots ! Red Squirrels ,Bats, Pheasants and lots of other birds. Fiona and Graham made us feel very welcome and the scones and homemade jam ,they had left for us on arrival ,were delicious . Also there were fresh flowers in all rooms, a nice touch.We would certainly recommend this property for a relaxing getaway to a peaceful Cottage in a Great location.

We had a lovely week at the gatehouse despite mixed weather over our stay. The location is excellent for exploring the Lakes, Dales or Pennines! The property itself is very comfortable and has everything you need. Little touches like fresh flowers and biscuits on arrival were very welcome. We enjoyed watching the birds and wildlife from the windows including a red squirrel. As previous reviews have said the gateway is quite narrow so if you drive a Chelsea tractor be careful but shouldn't be a problem for average size vehicles. Highly recommend this property and excellent value compared to others we have stayed in.
