We have just returned from a short stay in The Frenchgate Hotel and had a truly wonderful time. The location of the hotel is perfect, very close to the centre of the town but quiet and a beautiful Georgian setting. The bedroom was very tastefully furnished (loved the wall sculpture and the ceiling fan - felt like the Bahamas!) the... More

Very nice welcome with a good restaurant (including French Product of Quality) Lounge with different game in a cosy and quiet atmosphere. Nice for tea time. Bathroom absolutely clean. The major hotels groups could learn something by visiting this hotel. Breakfast recommended. The owner explains you the history of the town (fights Normands against Scottish !!!) Wlak near the river... More

This was my sixth visit to this hotel. Over the years, the owner David, has made remarkable improvements to the Hotel bedrooms and new bar area. The rooms are all very comfortable and provide that little special something to make your stay a welcoming pleasure. Friendly greetings on arrival, comfortable surroundings in the lounge and in the new bar area.... More

My husband and I have just had a one night stay at The Frenchgate Hotel . I have to say that I cannot fault the welcome,service,room,bed and food at all. A huge achievement for David and his team.

Overrated by the owner himself! Rooms were ok but very dark and no real lights to put on if you did need to see something! The only decent light on the table in the room was broken. However, main criticism is the hotel food. We were told we would not want to eat anything else once we had ate there... More

We stayed at the Frenchgate the weekend of 13th April for our anniversary. I struggle immensely to find fault with what we found. I could list numerous small highlights but will name a select few. The location - remote yet central The Service - Personal yet professional The Food - Fresh, exciting and mouthwateringly good, the best crabmeat I've tasted... More

Our fifth visit to the restaurant, our first stay. This is foodie heaven. Creative menus, beautifully prepared and presented. We appreciated the wine suggestions and enjoyed the tasting. The whole ambience is warm and friendly and intimate, surrounded by some very interesting objets d'art and beautiful flower arrangements.. The room we stayed in was superb with a mega bed, silent...
