The house is immaculate and all the fittings and furnishings are of a very high standard. We loved the open plan living area to be together for meals and plenty of space to relax. All appreciated the lovely bedrooms , comfortable beds and luxurious bathrooms ! The views are wonderful from the house too ! We highly recommend The Gate Inn for Sunday lunch ! Hopefully we will be back again for another family get together as it was perfect !
