"Extraordinarily comfortable and well appointed without ostentatious or cloying luxury. Staff members were genuine, professional, on the ball and helpful. Food was delicious. Outstanding attention to detail. Had a great bike ride around the eastern Lake District and Westmorland Dales. Would like to stay there again. Totally sound northern stuff. "

"A very convenient half-way stopping off point between Perth and Rugby. Lovely friendly girl on reception. My disability( (difficulty with stairs) had been anticipated and my room was easily accessible from the reception. It is a pity that there is no restuarant on site as I fancied an 'ordinary' meal. Over all good value for money and I would recommend it to others"

"Friendly staff, comfortable beds, cleanliness "

"Great welcome, help finding parking from reception, offered to help with bags Big clean rooms Lovely breakfast and a friendly service Thank You!"

"Best value for money hotel ive stayed in for long time. Room was clean and comfortable. The onsuite shower could do with being hotter but thats being picky. The gem is the restaurant. Busy on both evenings but staff were on the ball, attentive with food being delivered roasting hot. Both nights I had Chicken and Leek pie. Absolutely superb hence why i had it twice! A mention in dispatches for chips, best chips Ive had ever, fact. Rest of the menu looks good but the Roasts are legendary. Never been to The Gateway before but will return. "

"Very pleasant staff, from arrival check in to departure this stay was first class. The hotel is quaint, traditional and provides a very pleasant atmosphere. Food selection was good and also value for money. I will certainly use the hotel again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend it to family or friends."
