Beautiful hidden gem. We were so spoiled

Staff were great, the breakfast not so much

Rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff truly go above and beyond, paying attention to even the smallest details, which makes the stay feel extra special. And the breakfast? Absolutely incredible — a wide selection of fresh juices, fruit, freshly baked croissants, and cheeses that are simply to die for. Highly recommended!

The glamping tents have everything you need for a happy stay. The hot tub is amazing. Loved tubing on the river, and the walks. Excellent location to wander the Midlands Meander.

​We recently stayed at Gateside Guesthouse and had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful, well-manicured gardens. It truly feels like a quiet sanctuary in the heart of Hilton. ​The Highlights: ​The Warm Welcome: A huge thank you to Magda and Mandy(helping with last minute sewing suppliesl! Their hospitality really sets this place apart. They are incredibly attentive, professional, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and well-cared for throughout our stay. ​The Rooms: Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and elegantly decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the attention to detail made it feel like a true home away from home. ​The Setting: Relaxing on the patio overlooking the garden was a highlight. It’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a quiet sundowner. ​Whether you are visiting for a school event or just need a getaway in the mist-belt, Gateside is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back, thanks in large part to the fantastic service from the team!
