  • "We had a lovely long weekend at The Gatehouse celebrating a family birthday."

    It was perfect for us with small children with there being no stairs. It was very spacious and the living area is such a good social room being open plan, so we were all still together whether cooking or watching tv. Well equipped kitchen and lots of games to entertain the kids. Brilliant weekend had be all.

    Thank you for your great review and score. We are delighted you had a great time staying at The Gatehouse. We hope we can welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "A lovely house, comfortable and warm."

    It isn't easy walking distance from any pubs (this is a bit misleading in the description) but we used uber successfully. A few very minor snags (no dish brush or cloth, ice cube trays broken, and some of the furniture a little tired). We had a great stay and otherwise found the kitchen well equipped. The owner left tea, coffee, bottled water and milk which was much appreciated (plus some nice biscuits and things). It would be great to have salt, pepper and olive oil too... The showers were excellent! Lovely walk in the nearby park.

    Thank you for your review and feedback. I have passed your comments on to our Management. We hope we can welcome you all again in the future. The Team Property Owner

  • "Great property to rent for family and friend groups."

    In walking distance of the local pub. Surrounded by beautiful limestone coast wetlands and woods :)

  • "The accommodation was in a peaceful location and beds were very comfortable enabling very restful sleep."

    The bedrooms, bathrooms, lounge and kitchen were all excellent. The separate utility room provided a room to keep our dog for the evening and night, while placed in his crate. The separate drinks fridge was very useful. The only minor criticisms, a few more mugs for drinks, perhaps some larger pans would be useful if self catering there for a large group, as we did several evenings, and sometimes the shower was not warm enough.

  • "We had an amazing stay at the Gatehouse."

    They house is amazing, the kids enjoyed their bedroom as well as the grown ups. The house had any facility necessary and it is in a convenient location. Very peaceful and quiet. We would definitely come back again. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall, with its superb topiary garden, are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay.
