The Gungate

Had a business meeting at The Gungate and found it to be a very pleasant environment. Owner and staff were very polite, kind and helpful. The food was great. Would definitely recommend hosting meetings at this location.

Just attended a company business meeting. Facilities were excellent including the WI-FI network. Host Sue put on a great food and drink. All our staff enjoyed the day. Ample parking ensured all staff could attend. Thanks Sue.

Great hotel

Business Meeting

I stayed for 1 night.  Room very clean, with a brand new bathroom next door. I wouldnt call this a bnb, more like rented rooms in a large house.  For 1 night @£45 it was good value, there's no breakfast but refreshments in room, and I bought a hot breakfast locally. 
At the end of the day, you pay your money and take your choice, if you want a clean deal for low cost it's a good choice 8

Value for money

We were very warmly wecomed by Doratina, who had ensured our twin room in the annex was clean and warm.
Plenty of clean, fluffy towels,spacious en-suite with what appeared to be quite new fittings.
Good supply of tea/coffee/milk.
The annex is far enough back from the road that we were not disturbed by  traffic noise (even though we're  used to country living with no noise), and got a good nights sleep.
As stated in other reviews, the main house is being refurbished,  so there was no breakfast provided-it was a room only stay. Wi-fi password  was provided on arrival, parking was right next to our room.
A comfortable overnight stay.

Honest comment

Rooms are mostly in an annexe which is away from the traffic on the main road outside.  The room was fairly compact but had all the things you need.  Nothing special, but perfectly good.  Book direct and breakfast is include.  Book via booking.com and and you don't

Decent B&B

First time here after many visits to Tamworth and we won’t be repeating it in its current state of disarray.Very poor first impressions with debris dumped in the front garden and this continues as the building still undergoes huge refurbishment years later so bear in mind the current description on Tripadvisor refers to the previous owner and doesn’t reflect its current condition ( I was unable to suggest an edit for unknown reasons) . Our first floor room was comfy with Yorkshire Tea but as there are no catering facilities a mini fridge would be a welcome addition. Only 2 clothes hangers were provided and when looking in adjacent unoccupied rooms most had none whatsoever! WiFi did not connect after I had to message the contact number to be advised of the log in password as well as key collection which was given by a worker on arrival carrying out refurbishments to the entire ground floor. Parking is restricted with work vans coming and going and even parked overnight and no alternative is suggested nearby. These  points should be pre-advised as they are with most accommodation bookings. Sleeping with the windows open it was nice to wake up to the Dawn chorus of crows but these few positives are outweighed by negative factors. From initial booking we had no name of who to contact,just a tel number and we only made contact when it was payment time when Dora told us of the family plans to make this place up to standard by the end of this year with a proposed cocktail bar but there are huge changes to be made to achieve this and I wish them well in doing so but will await hearing of this in future reviews before reconsidering staying here again.

Not yet up to standard

Booked 4 days  and 2 rooms  here while working in the area..... Shower was broken in one of the rooms and when mentioned to owner we were snapped at that it would be  repaired when we had paid our bill.... this was a work booking so had already been paid for.... turned out that when they input our company credit card details   the payment was declined because the hotel was on a stop list for fraud!!!!!!!!

Unfriendly and Broken Shower

Arrived at the Gungate and it was under restoration which we were not told about,the annex was nice and luckily seperate from the main house/hotel. The lady who greeted us was pleasant & the rooms were basic but everything you needed. Very disappointed not to have the bar open for food or drinks no facilities at all. Just been taken over so be aware of that when booking. Nice place but needs lots of work. Shouldn’t have had to pay full price but we had to that wasn’t fair it should state it on the internet. Might be new owners but false advertising at the moment. We are decent people so we let it go but won’t be booking again alot more hotels in the area offering more for money.

Not impressed

The listing for this accommodation on booking.com is a scam. 

The place is a building site. Which is not stated or shown on the website or on booking.com.

There was no way of checking in other than being shown to a dingey back room which looked like something out of a true crime documentary. It also had a separate bathroom, I'm assuming shared with other guests which is contrary to the information on the facilities information.

As a woman on my own I didn't feel safe and would have rather slept in my car then there. Luckily I had a friend who lives nearby so I arranged to stay there instead.

Absolutely criminal to still have this listed on booking.com.

This place is a scam

I have used this car park twice in the last six months and on both occasions issued parking tickets when I have paid!
The first time I paid cash at the machine and placed the ticket in my window. Just over a month later I received a ticket through the post and couldn’t prove payment.
The last time I paid by card and received a ticket just over a month later. Luckily I can prove payment via my bank statement. 
Be warned. Daylight robbery!!
