“We recently had the pleasure of attending our daughter's wedding, which was hosted by The Gate. From the moment we arrived we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. Johnny, Rich, Charlie and all the staff worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible. Nothing was too much trouble and their skill in anticipating our needs was a joy to experience. The accommodation was first class and the catering by Charlie Walters was a delight. The whole weekend was utterly amazing and credit needs to go to Johnny, Rich and everybody at The Gate for delivering one of the best weekends of our lives. Thanks guys”

“My partner and I spent the Bank Holiday weekend at The Gate and are SO glad we did! We stayed in the Upper Deck Studio and the room was absolutely perfect. Really nicely updated with everything you need for a weekend away. The bath on the balcony was absolutely idyllic with the Cornish countryside as the backdrop. Rich and Johnny were so hospitable and it’s clear that they really care about the guest experience. They also gave a great restaurant recommendation and even booked it for us! Next time we’re in Cornwall, we’ll stay here again without hesitation.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Gate - Cornwall. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome by Rich and Jonny – both of whom were fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and always happy to help, they truly went above and beyond to make our visit special. The rooms were immaculate – spotlessly clean, tidy, and beautifully maintained. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The whole atmosphere of the place is peaceful and inviting, and you can really feel the care and pride that goes into running it. It was the perfect escape, and we genuinely didn’t want to leave! We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cornwall. Thank you, Rich and Jonny, for an outstanding experience!”

“We had a really lovely stay at this beautiful hotel. The room and living spaces were gorgeous and super comfy, and the gardens were just so pretty and peaceful. A big thank you to Rich and Jonny, whose hospitality was kind, warm, and genuine - it made us feel completely at home and relaxed from the moment we arrived. We hope to return next time we’re in Cornwall and will definitely be recommending it to everyone we know! Warmest wishes, George and Rich”
