We stayed at the gatehouse for part of our honeymoon and our experience was excellent! Our room was perfect the owners were awesome and when we arrived at our room there was a small note to congratulate us on our marriage. I would definately stay here again. I would also recommend the gatehouse to everyone that asks where to stay in north bovey!!!

This property only has three rooms so you receive very personal service. A very warm welcome was received, the room was great, breakfast hot and served at 8.30am precisely. However, our stay was spoiled on the morning of check out by a knock on the door at 10.55am (check out is 11am) by the wife asking us if she could service the room!!!

This call and her subsequent reaction when I said we would be ready in 15 minutes has left us with a very bad opinion of the owners. We were at a wedding the previous night and had asked the (male) owner if we could check out slightly later than 11am. He had said it wouldn't be a problem but had obviously had not communicated this to his wife.

One of the other guests is a very successful Inn Keeper in New England who also experienced the "service call", which left him completely unimpressed.

We won't be staying again as a result.
