Guests say
The Gatehouse-UK11836 is a characterful property praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and excellent location close to amenities and transport. While some guests found the property spacious with private areas for multiple couples, others noted a lack of kitchen equipment and dated decor. The property's unique charm and secure parking are highlights, though attention to maintenance and a reduction in personal items could enhance the experience.
Guests generally found the property very clean, with comfortable and good quality bedding. However, there were mentions of a urine smell, mould in a bathroom, and some cobwebs, which slightly affected the overall cleanliness perception.
The location is highly praised for being excellent, close to the train station, local restaurants, and with good road access. The town of Dronfield offers interesting sites, good pubs, and convenient shopping.
The beds are consistently described as comfortable and the property as clean and warm. However, the dated decor and the presence of personal items detracted from the comfort for some guests.
Facilities are a mixed bag; guests appreciated the spaciousness and private bathrooms but criticized the sparse kitchen equipment, non-working oven settings, and lack of cleaning tools. The presence of cameras and listening devices also made some guests uncomfortable.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Very clean and quiet accommodation, beds comfortable. Really awful smell in the upstairs bathroom when using the sink and there's not enough decent sized pans to feed 4 people, no dishes for cooking meals in. Not all the oven settings work. Due to hardly any kitchen equipment had to do take aways. Way too many knicks knacks and personal items. There was nothing to clean the floor with ie a hoover. It was a good job I didn't take my dog as I would not have been able to clean up his fur. Outside space is not viable for a dog as there is no grass and a small paved area. Would have been better to have twin beds as we were 4 single people.
