The whole house and garden. Garden has lawn and patio area. Large stone built charcoal BBQ (charcoal not provided). Patio furniture. Sun umbrella. NOTE: Should you have a party of more than 10, my other listing, a bungalow that sleeps 4 (Kingsize bed & twin) 5 mins walk up the drive from The Old Gatehouse can also be rented at the same time subject to availability. Has proven particularly popular with Grandparents who enjoy being on holiday with the whole family but appreciate some peace & quiet at times too!

Guests of the Old Gatehouse can have shared access to the onsite resort facilities just up the drive to the old mansion house where there are swimming pools (heated indoor and outdoor), a gym and use of onsite spa (treatments obviously chargeable and to be booked in advance to avoid disappointment). There is also pitch & putt course. There may be a small charge at reception for some of these activities. NOTE: The availability of these facilities may alter at any time at the discretion of the resort manager. Use of the on site facilities do not form any part of the contract with guests and, as such, no charge is included in the rental of The Old Gatehouse to use the on site resort facilities offered. Small & cosy farmhouse bar on the resort also. I’m always available either by email, phone or text. Will aim to get back to you within the hour. The Old Gatehouse is situated in Pennal, Gwynedd.
