Our overnight away from home!
Our brief visit was of utmost comfort. We were warmly received and Penny went beyond her means to ensure that we had a ground floor cottage. Will always cherish our visit.

Cozy
2-person room was smaller than expected, but very comfortable. Heater and electric blankets were a nice addition for wintertime! Beautiful views as well. Parking was a bit tight with the property being fully booked out that night, but made a plan, and it all worked out fine.

Lovely B&B in a stunning location
Stayed at Gateside Guest house for 14 nights. The accommodation is fantastic and the staff in particular are to be recommended. Very friendly and helpful. The B&B is close to the Quarry shopping centre. The views from the accommodation are stunning. I would certainly recommend staying here.
