    “We had a perfect 4-night stay at Gate Keepers Cottage iwhile visiting family.”

    The cottage was cosy, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, making it a great place to relax after busy days. Communication from Sue and Stu leading up to our stay was excellent, making everything easy and stress-free from the outset. We would happily stay again and highly recommend Gate Keepers Cottage to anyone visiting the area.
