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.

happy couple

we were very happy with the breakfast and evening meal etc the staff were very good, the room was ok except for the winding stairs to the top floor but we managed alright, the only problem with the hotel we found was the lack of a bus service etc you have to get taxi if you want to go into town or drive and find car park, all in all a lovely hotel and staff.

6/10 Good

Overall an all right stay

Pros: very dog friendly, space to allow dogs to be off lead (but under control); comfy bed and bedding; clean, good shower; great food in the restaurant downstairs; close to motorway for an easy set off home, yet only 12 min from Ambelside. Cons: stained, old, dirty carpet; sticky bathroom floor; charge for dogs says £15 on all adverts, yet tried to charge £20, not a huge deal but detail like that lowers the rating in my opinion; one morning had to ask for tea bags as not been replaced; for some people it may matter that it's a bit on the outskirts of Lake District and there isn't much within walking distance; breakfast not included which, added to the above, lowers value for money. Staff are all right, but don't seem to be going out of their way, so to speak. They seemed a bit grumpy, but might just be my impression. Very steep and narrow stairs but that's made very clear on adverts.

Gateway Inn stay

We spent two nights at the Gateway Inn and it was excellent. The rooms are spacious and spotless and the staff were great. Very helpful ,courteous and welcoming. The food was delicious. Lots of variety for breakfast and the main menu has something for everyone. Definitely recommend the Lamb Henry. We dined on both nights and we’re not disappointed . It gets busy so you have to book it. Must mention they have a good selection of ales and wines to suit all tastes. We will definitely be going back and have recommended it to all our friends and family. Must mention Dog friendly . They look after your pet too . Benji loved his gift.

Going back again !!!

Good stay. Food was very good. The waitress was excellent (didn’t catch her name.) was very helpful in recommending my meal although she did say the roast was good and it did look good lol ! Complimentary chocolates is a really good idea and they were delicious. Will 100% go back next time I’m in the area.
