If a gothic is set on an English moor and there's an old abbey involved, I'm in heaven. 
But other locations are suitably creepy as well, like an old cliff side mansion in Maine or an old Southern plantation surrounded by Spanish moss. I love the "creepy" factor. And I love when the location and it's atmosphere is described so well that it's practically one of the characters.
Usually winter is a good time setting for a gothic as well. A warm sunny day doesn't have the ominous feeling to it as when there's a chill in the air or a storm a brewin'.
