What an amazing place! The gate lodge itself is immaculate, clean comfortable and even a lovely stove (which was very welcome on a February night)
Alex himself is very much the fun informative host, we were lucky enough to be granted a tour of the castle (very much worth the opportunity if given)
We had a lovely walk in the gardens and coffee in the tea rooms.
I genuinely can't recommend the Gate Lodge highly enough.......we look forward to coming back.
