We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gate Lodge, it was beautifully furnished and spotless. Liz suggested a meal at Batoni's in the village, which is about 2 mins walk away, and it was fantastic. Unfortunately Emo Court seemed to be closed when we tried to visit, although the Tea Rooms were open. The bed and furniture were very comfortable and Liz thoughtfully left some apple juice, tea and coffee for us. There are some lovely forest walks which start from the parking area outside the Gate Lodge. We would recommend a stay at the Gate Lodge for anyone wanting a quite break.
