Very disappointed with my stay at Gateway House. photos of the property are very misleading. The property is very run down and scruffy. Shared bathroom which I could rarely get to use. Booked room with patio access but bed and furniture blocked access and no other window so room very stuffy. Food available for breakfast very limited so I had breakfast elsewhere. Kitchen is very narrow and had to put up with other guests pushing up against me to get past (rather than waiting for me to move!) Ridiculously overpriced considering lack of facilities. Property is in need of a serious upgrade which considering the prices charged could easily be done I would have thought. Would not recommend nor would stay there again. â˜šī¸đŸ‘ŽđŸ‘ŽđŸ‘Ž

The bed and breakfast is in a favourable location and is inexpensive compared to other accommodation locally. However, the room was cramped and had poor soundproofing and dilapidated window blinds that were ineffective at keeping light out. Recommended only as a last resort.

First time I have stayed at a B&B, it was such a lovely experience! The place felt so welcoming, felt so homely, room was snug and very comfortable. Definitely will look to return if we need a place to stay, lucky to have found it! Owner also made sure we were okay and knew where everything was, place was made up so nice, could really see the effort. Appreciate it very much! Thank you very very much
