The Gatehouse

Great responses from Jennie to all of our queries before our stay. It was difficult to find something that we wanted that wasn't in the property. It is a stunning house which the photos do not do justice to. Easily suitable for families with the great playroom in the loft which was full of children's toys and entertainment for all ages. Beds and bed linen all very comfy and plenty of towels and hot water. Was not expecting toiletries in all the bathrooms, which were very good. Hairdryer in the Gatehouse Suite was an unexpected bonus. Also, didn't realise there was a downstairs toilet as that isn't mentioned in the blurb and the wine fridge was a real hit. Hot tub was excellent and very popular with the family. The only potential improvement, from our point of view, would be a curtain across the inside of the door of the Gatehouse suite, to soften any noise from the main room, our grandchildren were noisy. Fabulous place with lots of extras provided and would recommend it to anybody. Thank you Jennie.

2nd visit here and we always have a fabulous time, jennie is very accommodating and her instructions are perfect on getting to the property. The property has everything you need & more, it is spotless, there is ample parking with a nice hot tub at the end of a day. Lots of walks nearby, you will not be disappointed. Thank you!!!!

A wonderful house perfect for our multiple needs. Situated in a very quiet village within walking distance of safe trails and near to properties and parkland to visit and enjoy. The hot tub was in daily use, lovely welcome pack and almost very dog friendly. The decor was clean and with comfortable sofas plus a full games room in the attic! Perfect week thank you.

Wow!!! This place is an absolute dream the pictures do not do it justice its like living in a dream we stopped here for a weekend and wish we had stayed longer it has everything and all the little added extras make it feel like a home we will definitely be returning and reccomending to other family and friends

The owners directions to The Gatehouse were very easy to follow and a great help to get there without any issues. We were three generations of one family including two teens and two dogs and we found plenty of space, comfortable beds and an even better The Hayloft games room than the website pictures show. The hot tub, badminton net and table tennis table in the garden were well used for fun, games and relaxation after lots of active days hill walking and cycling. We loved the rural location with footpaths and walkingcycling routes in all directions almost straight from the door. The kitchen was well supplied with everything needed to prepare and cook meals and there were plenty of glasses some more plates and bowls would have saved on the washing upmore use of the dishwasher! We loved the themed rooms and decor although a few less ornaments would have left more space for our belongings it was very beautifully decorated. We did miss shelvingstorage in the shower cubicle and shower room for all our toiletrieswash bags, and space for wet coats. Somewhere to store 34 bicycles would be great, like a long, roofed leanto along the narrow section of the front courtyard we understand the garage now belongs to the owners so may be available in the future. We had a couple of issues on the first two nights outside of the owners control but Jennie was very quick to respond. We thoroughly recommend The Gatehouse as a lovely, relaxing, family friendly holiday destination theres plenty to do in the area, many things within an hours drive but you could equally just enjoy the facilities and chill out at The Gatehouse.

There was a very good selection of games, toys and sports equipment provided, both outside and inside downstairs and upstairs. Also a lovely hot tub.

Lovely house in a great location. Garden and hot tub fantastic for the children..nice and secure for both children and dog to be able to play safely. Games room added bonus with plenty of things to keep the kids occupied... table tennis, volley ball, karaoke, TV and DVDs, table football, arcade game, air hockey, toys to play woth for the little ones. House had everything you would need for a holiday home from home. Lovely welcome basket too... lovely hosts...just perfect.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful property it was so spacious ... We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful property it was so spacious comfortable and relaxing and with 4 generations staying it provided everything we needed and wanted the attention to detail by the owners was first class and I would highly recommend it

Excellent property, so well kitted out with everything you could ever require especially the kitchen Every room was decorated to the highest standard, was immaculately clean and incredibly comfortable especially the beds. The highlights for us was definitely the hot tub, the games room in loft and the great supply of games for indoors and outdoors and the location. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return again very soon.

Had a fabulous stay at the Gatehouse last week. 7 of us, with an age range of 5 to 70, all thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Literally everything had been thought of by the owner Even the stuff we had forgotten, such as the lighter for the candle on the 70th cake Would highly recommend for anyone to stay here. We all absolutely loved the hot tub especially. Grand children also all loved the games room on the top floor. Even the Karaoke machine got a run out. Brilliant stay from start to finish !!!

The Gatehouse was just perfect for us. Bridesmaids, Myself and my daughter stayed there the night before my daughters wedding. It definitely has the 'Wow' factor! The loungekitchen meant that we were all together when preparing food drinks. The spacious bedrooms were beautifully and individually decorated. On the morning that we were getting ready there was plenty of room for the hair and makeup team to set up a little work station and we all took it in turn to be transformed! whilst still all being together it was the most relaxing morning before a wedding that I have experienced. It was just a 2 minute walk to the church gate. Also the Village of Teversall is so pretty. Everything had been thought of, the kitchen was fully equipped, the bathrooms were lovely and clean. There was plenty of parking both outside the house and also to the back of the house. Our host was very helpful with any questions we had. In summary we had the perfect place to stay and we made some amazing memories for a very special day.

We 7 adults and 2 dogs had a fantastic week at the Gatehouse in June. It is a lovely property with plenty of space for everyone both inside and out, and a very tranquil setting. The owners had pretty much thought of everything with many extras that aren't often provided in self catering accommodation. The hot tub was a bonus and very popular with everyone. It was spotlessly clean and was checkedcleaned mid week too. Outdoor table tennis and badminton were a hit too and the games room was a great place to escape to. Internet was reliable bar a couple of brief dropouts and it handled 7 phones and someone WFH for a few days without issue! There are plenty of off road walks within a few minutes walkdrive and some beautiful countryside in the area as well as numerous other places of interest. It is the sort of place where you can cram loads in or just spend your time relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet. We had a few comments which shouldn't detract from this amazing property There were quite a few cobwebs on and around the ceilings we removed the worst offenders!, it was very warm at night even with the windows open so perhaps some lighter weightsummer duvets could be considered, a few more pegs would be useful, the mirrors in the bedrooms were not positioned near plug sockets making it difficult for those wanting to style hair etc. Overall we had an amazing stay and would very much like to visit again in the future, thank you for providing such a wonderful holiday home.

This is the best property we have ever stayed at AMAZING Thankyou

We were a family of 8 one very behaved beagle. Plenty of space inside and out ! We have just returned home after a most enjoyable time and feel lucky to have found such a lovely property. Communication with the owners was brilliant, including very specific driving instructions into the villagefinding the property. Very peaceful and quiet location and easily accessible with lovely dog walks on the doorstep. Highly recommended !

A fabulous, full of character property in the most charming of quiet villages. The Gatehouse is a beautiful home for larger groups there were 7 of us and there was plenty of space and the enclosed garden is perfect for a dog. There are many walks straight from the door, a Coop about 2miles away and a nice pub a short distance from the house. I totally recommend this house and its lovely surrounding countryside.

A lovely gatehouse, well equipped and clean. We really enjoyed our stay. There are numerous walks, which we did every day with our 2 dogs. The village itself is worth a walk around. The nearby outlet centre was worth a visit even though it wasnt very big. We would definitely rebook.

This house is perfect for a social weekend away or a family holiday! The open plan living was fantastic, the kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need to cook with, the beds are soooo comfortable! And such a beautiful location! Lovely walks all around! Owners were fantastic with the couple of queries we had ! I would definitely recommend and hopefully return !!

We loved our stay at the Gatehouse. It had everything we needed and exceeded our expectations. It is in a good location with local walks nearby and places to eat. We would definitely recommend staying here.

We had an amazing stay at The Gatehouse over Christmas. The cottage was beautiful and cosy and the beds were extremely comfortable. We used the hot tub on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and we had everything needed to make our Dinner and Day special. The playroom in the attic was also well loved by the kids. Jennie was very helpful and welcoming, the hamper on arrival was a lovely touch. Thank you again, we already can't wait to return!

Jennie was the perfect host, she was responsive to queries and offered further assistance if required. The Gatehouse was a wonderful home for two families to share for an annual meet up. Every room was spacious and clean, the furniture comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. We received a lovely welcome email with top tips of what to bring to enhance our stay. The games room was a great hit with the kids, and I would love to return in fairer weather to make use of the lovely outdoor space.

What a fantastic place. We have never seen such a well thought out house in such a beautiful surrounding. It was comfortable and cosy whilst also being modern. The rooms are all decorated to a high standard and furnished beautifully. We had a family celebration and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to put on a large buffet. What a great selection ovenware, pans, crockery and glasses. First class. All Beds were comfy, the bathrooms offered shower gel, shampoo and conditioner and the rain shower was excellent. Those that used the hot tub enjoyed it. The welcome pack was greatly received by both us and our dogs. Thanks go to Jennie who was an excellent host. Highly recommend this holiday location.

This property was superb. It met all our expectations and the boys particularly loved the games room. It was spotlessly clean and the information provided by the owners was excellent. It was easy to get to lots of places of interest, which we certainly did. It was perfectly safe to let the dogs play in the enclosed garden and they loved it , as well as all the lovely walks around the village. The only negative was no Sky tv and we do all love our football so we did miss that but we managed for a week

A wonderful property and a lovely relaxing stay! Communication was great from the owner and the additional directions were very clear and we had no issues finding the property even though it's tucked away. Lots to keep you entertained at both the property and many activities within a 30 minute drive such as Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Pines and Matlock Bath was a great day out for us all. Would highly reccommend for a great family break!

This was a lovely break. Everything was as we expected and even better. I was not sure what to totally expect as we sometimes struggle to find local evening walks for our dog in some places. There were also plenty of walks locally to keep him entertained as well as places to visit within short driving distances. We would definitely go back there again. The pub that was within a short walk was OK to visit with our dog, though they're only allowed in the beer garden.

The house was perfect in a stunning area.

What a fantastic house ! This property has everything going for it super clean, lovely rooms, fully equipped had everything that you could need in the kitchen including the garlic crusher ! Loads of board games we left a couple in the cupboard to add to the collection. Honestly the property was A one !!

Brilliant weekend, the property certainly has the wow factor on entering. Everything clean and tidy and lots of accessibly cutlery and crockery. Really good information pack. Extra loo downstairs which we werent aware of which was a bonus given that there was only one en suite and house bathroom which our guests all managed with, so no complaints. Great outside space with hot tub. We will certainly be recommending this beautiful venue. To avoid the windy country lane with passing places. I would suggest you drive a bit further down the M1 to junction after Tibshelf service station. Otherwise its fine really.

Beautiful cottage. Well equipped the best ever and maintained to a very high standard. The owner is both extremely helpful and so accommodating. We were 3 generations plus a dog and all of us had a great time. Peaceful location and there are lovely walks from the cottage always a bonus. Enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast at the dogfriendly Hilcote Arms, a short drive away, and a delicious evening meal at The Carnarvon Arms, which had a good choice of GF options.

A pleasant stay in a lovely cottage. It was a perfect size for our party of 6 adults, 2 babies and 2 dogs. The owner Jennie was very nice and helpful. Few minor issues, a few garden chairs were breaking and needed replacing and no door latch on the downstairs bedroom wasn't ideal. However nothing to spoil our stay. Thanks

Absolutely fantastic apart from doors need replacing as not top quality like everything else. Superb kitchen & great dog walks too. Our favourite Sykes property ever

Absolutely fantastic stay again! tha property is like a home away from home in that it has everything you could need, and whilst other places I have stayed only have enough glasses and crockery for the number of people staying The Gatehouse has an abundance meaning we didnt have to always stay on top of the washing up! The folder providing info on local places to visit or eatdrink is fantastic. Our party had another fantastic stay, and are already talking about a return visit

What an amazing stay in the gatehouse! !!! Everything was perfect, the location was also perfect, the property was very well equipped everything you needed, the beds were very comfortable and rooms were spotless, lovely garden area with a hot tub which was lovely to relax in after walks on the nearby trails, will definitely be back

A delightful property which exceeded our already high expectations. Everything about the house was lovely. It was clean, spacious, well equipped and had a lovely welcoming feel to it. My children loved the games room where they spent time playing with the numerous games in there. The hot tub was also a big hit with us all. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and also for the children to play in. They especially enjoyed the table tennis. There are lots of lovely walks within easy reach and it is a lovely area to explore in general. We had a fantastic day out at the nearby Go Ape in Sherwood Forest. Thank you to Jennie, the owner who had great communication and was extremely helpful. Hopefully we will be back sometime soon for another visit.

Lovely property. Lots to entertain our 7 year old with the games rooms and outdoor activities. Well maintained, very clean, well stocked for crockery utensils etc. Very nice rooms with comfy beds.

Jennie & Ian are fantastic hosts. Very friendly and personable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. We felt well looked after and catered for. They went above and beyond for us. The Gate House is a fabulous place to stay to recharge your batteries. Beautiful surroundings. Very interesting history. Inside it has everything you would ever need plus more! Beds & sofas comfortable. Linens, fixtures, fittings, all high quality. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Well stocked kitchen and lovely welcome basket of biscuits & Prosecco! Lots of spare items available such as batteries, plug charger and more. All the type of things you might forget to take away but would have in your own home. The clothes airers were great for towels after the hot tub. All of the cushions and throws in bedrooms and living areas were freshly washed for our stay. The underfloor heating was fab on bare feet! Hot tub brilliant and Jennie popped by to check the chemicals and top up during the week and did let us know first. As a family we had lots of fun in the games room. Karaoke, Air Hockey, Arcade Golf, Table Football plus other bits in the 'Hayloft'. Also board games and cards etc downstairs in living room with a massive coffee table to play them on! Property was secure all round. Outside in the glorious back garden alongside a prestigious hot tub was badminton, a BBQ stand, a lovely chairs and table, a pung pong table and plenty of accompanying bats, balls etc. On the doorstep a tranquil stroll through old church grounds and shops etc all a short car journey away. Being located in the middle of the UK map, it is an ideal location to visit lots of places such as Matlock Bath, Chesterfield, Nottingham and more. There was a really helpful guide folder in the Gatehouse we looked through for places to visit, which also had lots of helpful information eg Chemists, GPS, hospitals, vets, butchers, bakery, etc. By far the best family holiday we have had. Would definitely recommend!

From the moment we arrived the property just wowed. Everything was taken care of for us with even a New Gift for us and our 4 legged baby. Jennie was a pleasure to deal with with excellent instruction on how to find the property and everything clearly labelled inside

I had booked the Gatehouse for a family get together as a surprise for my husbands birthday. The house was perfect. The bedrooms were beautifully laid out and the beds very comfortable. The downstairs open plan enabled everyone to be together and the kitchen was one of the best equipped I have seen in a holiday home. We were easily able to cook and serve an early Christmas dinner. The hot tub was an added bonus and the small games room in the attic would be ideal for families with children. The owner was easily contactable and very helpful. We much appreciated being able to bring our dogs. I would struggle to find any fault with this property good position, clean, cosy with very efficient underfloor heating, comfortable, well appointed, beautifully decorated we especially appreciated the Christmas trees and decorations good secure garden for the dogs to play safely, even a wine fridge to keep our drinks cool. Our only tiny issue was in knowing how to operate the TV after the youngest members of our group went home but thats a generation thing and not a problem with the TV. Strangely our Jack Russell was terrified of the sound made by one of the remote controls so we gave up on that. I would definitely recommend the Gatehouse and hope to return some time next year. Thank you for a lovely weekend

The Gatehouse is a lovely cottage. We had a girls birthday weekend here. The host is really kind and accommodating. Living area is spacious and clean and nice, the kitchen is very well equipped and bedrooms are cosy and well furnished. Hot tub was great fun. Everyone had a great time.

Highly recommend. Spotless house, great facilities, absolutely fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed by all. I will definitely return. Thank you.
