The room and toilet were spacious which made our stay very comfortable. It only has one dining option which seems to be frequented by locals as well. The area is very peaceful and well maintained. The only con is that there isn't a lift in the property which can be challenging for someone who can't really climb stairs.

Would recommend The Gateway.

Very nice room, clean and tidy, mattress was a little bit soft but other than that superb. Arrival chocolates was a nice touch too. Food was amazing and good selection of beers available.

Great food and value for money.

Excellent value for money, the room was lovely with a great view. A little welcome present as well. The food was fantastic, had the roast they do, very nice! Staff were all very polite and helpful, definitely recommend, half way between Windermere and Kendal, so a great location.
