Staff couldn't have been lovelier or helpful, having said that the food was very basic (although the restaurant was full every evening so maybe just not to my taste) and the rooms had too much furniture which made them feel smaller than they really were. Far too many chairs, tables knick knacks and cushions, my friends room had 10 cushions it it!

Helpful and pleasant staff. Large rooms. Comfy bed. Nice refrigerator. Good fan. Good location. Great carpark. Nice terrace. Too many cushions; my room had ten. Where to put them? Some furniture pieces showed use.

Clean room, excellent breakfast, well laid out and clean bathroom. Access to the top floor bedrooms is a little tight with very steep stairs, and the bed was a little firm. Views were fantastic, and the terrace is really nice on a sunny evening.

I have stayed at the hotel on a number of occasions and do so because I have confidence that it will be clean and well maintained. This is in contrast to a number of occasions where I have experienced disappointment when staying at other hotels. The general amenity of the Gateway is extremely pleasant and the staff have managed a relaxing and comfortable public area.

We stayed overnight at The Gateway Inn for a nearby family function and it was absolutely lovely - we wish we could have stayed longer and definitely intend to come back. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the rooms and bar/restaurant are all comfortably and beautifully finished. Our room was impeccably cleaned, furnished beautifully and had lovely amenities included (toiletries and tea/coffee, biscuits). Do pay attention to the hotel’s flag when booking about some rooms being less accessible to some patrons. We had to use quite a small, curved staircase part of the way to get to the room. The room at the end was well worth it and it was not an issue for us but it might be more difficult to use for others. The breakfast was delicious too and reasonably priced. We’re definitely going to try and visit again for a longer stay rather than a quick stop over.

Nice convenient location to Kendal and Windermere as long as you have a car. Parking was good. Had a nice pub/restaurant with pretty views. Room and bathroom clean. Stairs up to the room not for everyone, very steep and narrow. Overall good stay for our one night. Would stay again.
