The cottage was super cosy and had everything we needed. Surrounded by stunning countryside, it felt like a proper retreat. The owners decorated it with lovely art and a good mix of books. We wish we could’ve stayed longer for sure!

We had a lovely weekend at this place! The house was cosyand the gardens are truly stunning - you can tell a lot of love went into them. The owners were warm and welcoming, giving us a tour of their beautiful home. Definitely recommend it!

We found it to be very suitable for families. The layout is greatand we loved the spacious areas for everyone to relax. The kids had a blast! Plus, the location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions. Definitely a solid choice!
Taryn
Property was absolutely breath taking! You couldn't keep us out of the hot tub! The owners were so lovely and answered any questions we had about the property. We can't believe they've built something so beautiful! Lovely walk with a grotto to stop by on route! Would recommend this to anyone. We loved it and would love to come back! Just want to sa y thank you for being so lovely.
Leah
Everything was great! The only thing we could mention as a bit of constructive feedback is that my husband felt a bit rushed by the last-minute exit. The owners were already outside our place ten minutes before our departure time and it felt like they were hurrying us along, making us worry that we were running late. We actually cleaned the whole house ourselves as early as 8am on the 14th. It would be nice if they could wait outside instead of bringing the cleaner in. As mothers, we didn’t mind at all.
Charlotte
The Gatehouse is beautifully located in the peaceful Welsh countryside. Wolfgang and Kingsley were so welcomingand we really loved wandering through their garden! The house had everything we needed to unwindand we had a wonderful week just enjoying family time. The hot tub and clear skies made for fantastic star gazing ev enings too. Thanks for such an enjoyable stay x
James
What a wonderful remote location for a break away from it all! The cottage had everything we needed and the four good-sized bedrooms were perfect. We made great use of the table tennis table and the hot tub, too. The gardens and nearby woodland offered loads of walking opportunities. We’d definitely love to book again, maybe in the summer.
Oliver
We had a really great time here! The whole family really enjoyed the break and the gardens surrounding the house were lovely to stroll around. The house was clean and comfy with all the pots and pans we needed. The kitchen area was a massive space and definitely a favourite of ours.
Claire
We absolutely loved the cottage and the location was just right for us. It felt rural enough for some peace and quiet but was still easy to get to the nearest town. The hot tub really was a fantastic bonus and all of the facilities and equipment were fabulous. The surrounding area was stunning and the owners were super welcoming!
Emily
Our stay at 'The Artists Garden House' (The Gatehouse) this month was absolutely wonderful! Five of us really had such a fab time. Kingsley and Wolfgang were so lovely, making us feel right at home. The House was brilliant and their home is like the most beautiful fairy tale haven, inside and out. It had all the space we needed and more! The gardens are magical, inspiring and beautiful - both during the day and at night. We spent a lovely afternoon sitting in the grounds, painting away (we're all novices, but felt inspired). We had a murder mystery night, dressed for dinner, explored the area, read, played board games and the hot tub was great too. Kingsley and Wolfgang have created such a lovely home and gardens that they should definitely be seen by others who love beautiful gardens and quirky creative spaces. They also gave us great tips on places to visit that were inspiring too. Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic space with usand for being so open and accepting as we're quite the quirky bunch! x
David

Absolutely stunning property with gorgeous gardens! Kingsley and Wolfgang were fantastic hosts, making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We would definitely love to return if we ever get the chance!
Emily
We had a lovely stay and would absolutely book again for future family getaways! The grounds were stunning and we really enjoyed strolling around and admiring the scenery.
Oliver
We had an incredible stay at The Gatehouse last week. Kingsley and Wolfgang were exceptional hosts and their hospitality, along with the wonderful, almost fairytale grounds and stunning cottage were brilliant. The house itself is really spacious and gave us all room to enjoy our own hobbies then come together for cosy dinners, before sitting under the stars in the hot tub. I honestly can't recommend this property highly enough. We hope to come back one day!
Hayley
This holiday property was wonderful. The house is very spacious with several bathrooms. A big kitchen with a huge dining table. Living area is lovely, lots of seating and a nice fire. The surrounds are very beautiful. Nice gardens to walk around take in. The hot tub was a real treat which we enjoyed. Very clean and located on the balcony with a sup erb views. This would suit a family or a group of friends. Very spacious, very comfortable. Ideal for a quiet and peaceful holiday.
Carys

This place is a real haven for rejuvenation and relaxation! We found it to be a wonderfully quiet spot for our gathering of sisters and their husbands. The house is designed with such flair and creativity. We really loved our table tennis and table football tournaments, the beautiful dining tableand all the time we spent relaxing in the hot tub. We also enjoyed many walks around the incredible gardens created by Wolf gang and Kingsley, as well as the lovely countryside from the house. W & K, thank you so much for sharing your paradise with us.
