Perfect Place for Us!
Had a lovely time here, felt myself unwinding in the tranquility of the place. Unspoilt and accommodating for all our needs. Great location, great facilities, couldn’t fault it!

Beautiful surroundings very peaceful
The cottage was exactly as the photographs. very clean, Needs a bit of updating but the five adults in our party were comfortable enough. It is well equipped with everything we needed. The outside space is lovely, a great big garden which was full of wildlife to watch. We spent a very enjoyable weekend there.

A lovely winter stay
We had two nights in Gates Cottage at Pekes Manor. The house was comfortable, cosy and super clean and was very well equipped kitchen wise. We were 2 adults and 3 children, it's not big but all we needed. We were able to make some lovely food and enjoyed dinner in the dining area and had log fires in the little loving room next door. Linen and towels all of good quality. Lovely view from the bathroom and the garden would be nice in summer. We had a lovely time but I think it also has to do with expectations. If you expect country luxury, you will probably be disappointed, it's more about rustic country comfort. The grounds did look quite tired and all the buildings looked like they could do with some improved maintenance externally at least (although December isn't the most flattering month it has to be said). Right next to the Gate Cottage was a large dilapidated building which was a bit of an eye sore. The indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna were fab features although here as well, all clean but a bit tired and dated. In fact, both the sauna and jacuzzi stopped working while we were there which obviously was quite disappointing as this was one of the reasons why we had come here, but these things happen. The caretaker came promptly to have a look and managed to fix the jacuzzi but not the sauna. We asked if we could have a late check out (12 instead of 10) as compensation which was agreed which we appreciated. All in all, we had a lovely time at Pekes and we would come back again

Lovely cottage !
Second stay in this cottage, perfect for our little family (2 adults and a child), so cute, nice and not far from beautiful sightseeing spots like the seven sisters cliffs. We hope to come back soon

Perfect location
Perfect location for a wedding we attended in the area. The space in the cottage was as described. It was well equipped with linen. Down side for us was very very tired interior decor, and very weak shower, as we only wanted the cottage to wash and sleep, for us it was 50/50 cannot comment on anything in the grounds as ours was the first cottage and we never went any further

Lovely place for a quiet getaway
This is a really lovely property, and very well run with good amenities. It has a great feel, and is close to all the essentials, but far away enough to feel like you are away from it all.
