Would recommend The Gateway.

Very nice room, clean and tidy, mattress was a little bit soft but other than that superb. Arrival chocolates was a nice touch too. Food was amazing and good selection of beers available.

Staff were very nice. Beautiful building in a convenient location. Our room’s heater couldn’t be adjusted or turned off so we were really hot. The linen and furnitures were comfortable. The tv was tiny, so that should definitely upgraded. Breakfast was delicious. We didn't have dinner but the reviews showed high recommendations from other guests.

The property is already known for excellent food. This was the first time I had stayed there and I wasn’t disappointed. The room had been recently upgraded and the shower was fantastic with high quality shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Breakfast wasn’t included but I was delighted I paid for it. Quality, hot, delicious breakfast. It’s a good idea to offer two sizes of breakfast, regular and large. I also ate there in the evening and again the food was delicious . All the staff were welcoming and really looked after me. I will be back.

Staff were welcoming, room warm and clean with lovely views. Would stay there again. One minor grumble: no-one told us about fire precautions. On our 1st stay our room was up a very narrow twisty staircase which would have been difficult to get down if there was a fire.
