"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.
Thank you so much for leaving us such lovely comments in your feedback it is very much appreciated! I am really pleased that you enjoyed your family celebration at The Gatehouse and you thought it was first class! You were wonderful guests and I hope you might choose to return and visit us again.

"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
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such fabulous feedback. I am so pleased to hear that the property met your expectations and was enjoyed by everyone including the dogs! I’m sorry we don’t have Sky tv at the property. I think some guests have previously accessed Sky on other devices with Sky Go. I’m glad this didn’t spoil your stay and we hope to see you return in the future. Property Owner

"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!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a wonderful review. I am really pleased that you enjoyed a relaxing stay and found lots to keep you entertained at the property and in the surrounding area. Thank you for letting me know about the air hockey table that wasn’t working properly. I have purchased a much better new one! I hope you do visit us again to try it out. Property Owner

"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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such fabulous feedback. I am so pleased that you found The Gatehouse to be even better than you expected! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the lovely local walks with your dog. Its great that your dog was able to join you at The Carnarvon Arms in the beer garden which also has an undercover area. Should you visit us again Hardwick Inn is also within walking distance and is dog friendly indoors. We hope you do return sometime in the future. Property Owner

"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 !!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback it is very much appreciated. I am so pleased you thought The Gatehouse was fantastic and thank you for leaving those board games for future guests to enjoy. Property Owner

"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 weren’t 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 it’s fine really.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback. It is a great compliment to hear that you thought The Gatehouse had the ‘wow’ factor on entering. I am very pleased that you will be recommending the property to others. It is good advice to use junction 28 to exit the M1 if you want to avoid the road with passing places from junction 29. Thank you. Property Owner

"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 dog-friendly Hilcote Arms, a short drive away, and a delicious evening meal at The Carnarvon Arms, which had a good choice of GF options.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and helpful food recommendations. I am so pleased that you all enjoyed your break at The Gatehouse. It was a pleasure to meet you. Property Owner

"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
Thank you so much for your feedback I am really pleased to hear that you had a pleasant stay with your family at The Gatehouse. Thank you for drawing my attention to the garden chairs which were breaking. I have since purchased some brand new ones. The downstairs bedroom latch has now been repaired which I did offer to fix for you immediately. I appreciate your understanding and I am relieved that these issues did not spoil your stay.

"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 didn’t have to always stay on top of the washing up! The folder providing info on local places to visit or eat/drink is fantastic. Our party had another fantastic stay, and are already talking about a return visit :-)
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback it is very much appreciated. I am so pleased that you all enjoyed your return visit to The Gatehouse and I really hope you will be back again soon! Property Owner

"Such a beautiful home to celebrate joint milestones of 21 and 80."
Attention to detail was impeccable! Our two border terriers were safe to roam in the enclosed gardens which was top on our list!! The kitchen was soooo well equipped for the gourmet meal cooked on the Saturday, the hot tub was immaculate and welcoming!! The host was really accommodating and was able to give help/info when asked, Sunday roast at the Hardwick Inn was outstanding!!!! Would love to return Thank you so much

"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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such fantastic feedback. I am really pleased to hear that your children enjoyed the games room and you all enjoyed the hot tub. I look forward to welcoming you back soon! Property Owner

"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!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a fabulous and informative review, it is very much appreciated. It was a great pleasure to meet you and your family and we really hope you may return to The Gatehouse in the future. All the best. Property Owner

"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 husband’s 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 that’s 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 weekend is something as a family we have needed."
There was a beautiful welcome hamper on our arrival. Parking for 6 cars if needed. Our journey was difficult with the weather but the owner was on hand and gave us new directions with the flood. Once we were at the house we had the break away we all needed. The house is absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything you could need. Everything had been thought about to make our stay amazing and stress free. The beds are comfy and all rooms of a good size. We had 2 dogs with us and they were catered for too There is a file with information to help with your stay. The hot tub added to our stay and the games room. This break away enabled my children, partners and my husband and I to all be together and have precious family time after the difficult year we’ve had. The house gave space at times to be together or space for quiet time too. The walks are beautiful and plenty to suit everyone. I would recommend this house to people and we have actually all ready. We will hopefully be able to come back if it’s free for our next family break away.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I am so pleased to hear that you all enjoyed your family break and that The Gatehouse met all your needs. We very much appreciate your recommendations to others and it is fantastic to hear that you will be returning. Property Owner

"Had an absolutely fantastic long weekend with friends."
The property is even better than the pictures if that’s possible. Clean and well maintained, plus the owners have left everything you could need for your stay, not to mention the Prosecco and chocolate gift on the day we arrived. Have already recommended to friends and family, and will likely re-visit in the future.

"On our arrival at The Gatehouse our first impression was ‘Wow what an amazing place’ and the location is beautiful."
The garden is plenty big enough and more importantly nowhere for the dog to escape. Every room is beautifully presented. All the beds were lovely and comfortable however the downstairs bed not quite as comfortable as those upstairs. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for a family and plenty of space for sitting. Lots of lovely walks close by if you don’t want to drive too far. We had an amazing stay here and would without doubt stay here again if available. Fantastic place loved it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such complimentary feedback. I am really pleased to hear that you loved The Gatehouse itself and the surrounding area. Another guest also recently mentioned the downstairs bed so I have already replaced the mattress with a super luxurious one since your stay. I really hope you do choose to return! Thanks again.

"A gem of a property, very clean and fully equipped."
Location ideal for visiting southern locations of Peak District. We stayed with our dog who enjoyed the many walks around the property. The only reason I have marked comfort down from 10/10 is because the bed in the downstairs suite was not that comfortable and very creaky. This would not stop us going again or recommending the property, and we are already planning our next trip.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t find the downstairs bed comfortable. No one has previously mentioned that so I will get that rectified immediately. I’m really pleased to hear you will be returning again soon. Property Owner

"The Gatehouse was perfect!"
Could not fault it at all. It was one of the best holiday cottages we have ever hired. Brilliantly equipped, with everything you could possibly need.

"We booked this beautiful home to celebrate my Dads 60th and it was perfect."
The information provided by the property owner prior to our visit was so detailed and Jenny was so helpful with any queries. The kitchen was so well organised and had absolutely everything! Beautiful interior and so clean, hot tub was a fantastic addition as well as an assortment of games which my niece loved. We didn’t read some of the information provided on parking before hand so we parked in the wrong spot which was our fault. Thank you

"The house was beautiful."
The house felt so cosy and comfortable and we settled in straight away. There was so many little attention to details the owners had thought of to make it easier to use the facilities in the house. The garden was perfect for two dogs as it was all enclosed and we knew they would be safe. The location was perfect as there was a beautiful woodland walk just down the road with a pub next too. Plenty of parking and easy to find. The kitchen is perfect for a big group of guests and had all the equipment we needed. Honestly I couldn't fault the stay, the owners were so helpful and made sure we had all the information we needed prior to the visit.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such fantastic feedback. I am so pleased that you found the layout and facilities perfect for your group and dogs. I hope we see you return sometime in the future. Property Owner

"This is an absolutely beautiful and well equipped property in a lovely quite location."
There are loads of different walks that you can access directly from the property. The walk to Hardwick hall is quite easy and the walk to silver hill wood and the miners statue were beautiful and easy. It’s worth going to Teversal visitors centre to pick up the Discover the phoenix greenways leaflet which again is an easy walk from the property. We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Carnarvon and the mining museum at Pleasley pit country park was very interesting. An absolutely brilliant week. Thanks very much.

"We stayed at the Gatehouse with 4 Adults, 4 kids and a dog."
The only thing I can say is the place is 1st class. We have stayed in many Sykes cottages and this is one of the best. The garden area is so peaceful and quiet, with only the local church bells heard. The garden is ample for kids to play and the dog to enjoy. The downstairs bedroom has a little sun trap area, which offered a great escape for my parents. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great week away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Sit back, unwind and enjoy the sun in peace and quiet.

I cannot recommend this place enough. The house is beautiful and fully equipped with anything you need. We arrived to lovely dog treats, biscuits and Prosecco which was such a nice touch and made us feel very welcome. There were 3 of us and 2 dogs and we had so much room.

"Ages 41 x 2, 16 x 4, 10, 9 and our 2 dogs."
We have just returned home after a few days at The Gatehouse… what an incredible time we have had! The Gatehouse is absolutely beautiful, so full of character and equipped with everything you could possibly need and everything else you hadn’t considered! The owner called us prior to stay and was so accommodating, she left us a welcome pack of Prosecco, biscuits, chocolates and dog treats! There was 10 of us in total (8 Humans and 2 dogs) and we were never in each other’s way, there is so much space and so much to do. The teenagers in particular LOVED the games room in the loft and we all loved the hot tub. My Husband and I stayed in the lower floor bedroom and we loved having the door open to the courtyard and listening to the birds and background noise of Teversal Manor. The kitchen was amazing, we loved cooking big hearty meals for all the kids, it was fab to all get together at night and eat and drink there. The location is beautiful too, Teversal Manor is so full of wonder and history and is maintained immaculately. Thank you Jennie, we really hope to return some day soon.
Thank you so much for your absolutely brilliant feedback. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the space of the Gatehouse and your teenagers loved the games room in the loft!

"What a lovely property!"
We were two families spending a week together and there was plenty of space for all of us to relax inside and out. The kitchen is so well-equipped we didn’t go out to eat at all and the lovely high ceilings make the whole house feel really light and open. The enclosed garden is great for younger children (and our dog too!). We enjoyed the hot tub and ample garden furniture including a badminton net, which got lots of use! The games room is a really fun addition. Decor throughout is lovely and feels quite luxurious, especially in the upstairs bedrooms, which are stunning. Some lovely extra touches like shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in both bathrooms and Easter-themed welcome gifts were really appreciated. We enjoyed walking on the Teversal Trail and playing on the village green for a bit of extra space. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, it really is appreciated! I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at The Gatehouse and that you found the property spacious and welcoming. It's also great to hear that you liked the area and your walks on the Teversal Trail. Property Owner

The owner was very helpful and pleasant, a delight to meet! The house was immaculate with every comfort you could possibly want. The location was great, so peaceful to unwind, with lots of walks from the doorstep. Who could ask for more…. wish we could have stayed longer!

"Had a fabulous weekend at The Gatehouse with family to celebrate a birthday."
The location of the property is beautiful and peaceful, and the accommodation itself is perfectly presented. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge areas are very well equipped and very comfortable. The kids loved the games room in the attic. The garden area with hot tub is enclosed and was ideal for our dog and for the kids to play games. We loved our stay and would highly recommend.

"Had a 2 night stay at the Gatehouse for a birthday celebration."
Pre visit communication with the owner Jennie was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for her. The property is amazing, and spotlessly clean. Even though there were 8 of us (6 adults and 2 children), also 2 small dogs, there was no feeling of being cramped. The kitchen has everything you need from fabulous duel powered range to microwave/dishwasher/washing machine etc. Bedrooms are very spacious and tastefully decorated and the games room is outstanding. There's a large outdoor area, very well enclosed which ensures plenty of privacy for using the hot tub. The only negative to our stay, was it wasn't long enough! Thank you Jennie for being such an amazing host ❤️
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback it really means a lot. I am so pleased you liked the Gatehouse and you had a lovely family weekend Property Owner

"Had a lovely weeks stay."
The house was so clean and comfortable. The location was great and the owner was very helpful. I would definitely 100% recommend this property. The owner had thought of absolutely everything down to hot water bottles and torches in every bedroom just in case they are ever needed. Hut tub was great in the evening to wind down after a busy day out. We would definitely look to go back.
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback, it is very much appreciated! I am so pleased to hear that you all enjoyed your stay. I hope that you will return again soon! Property Owner

"Fantastic tastefully converted period property in the beautiful and little known Teversal village."
Great open plan downstairs and well equipped kitchen makes for easy entertaining for multiple families, and the top floor games room is a wonderful added bonus for the children. All the bedrooms were spacious and stylishly fitted. Very helpful interaction with the owners, who also kindly arranged for return of some of our forgotten items. Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback! I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at The Gatehouse. Thank you for letting me know about the issue with the heating. We have adjusted the heat and it seems to be back on track! It was a pleasure to meet you and we hope you will return sometime in the future. Property Owner

"A fabulous house which was perfect for catching up with friends and celebrating birthdays."
The only thing which would be handy and would have meant that one of the party could stay longer would be the addition of a washing machine. Beautiful house in a lovely location. We'll definitely be back! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your break at the Gatehouse. I am pleased that you have highlighted the need for a washing machine as it is something we have debated. We will be installing a washing machine at the end of the month so this will definitely be available for your next visit. It was a pleasure to meet you and we hope to see you all again soon!

Very warm and welcoming, beautiful furniture and decor throughout the property, you can tell that a lot of thought and effort has gone into this beautiful holiday home.
