Fantastic location for peace and quiet. Lovely welcome from the owner, Katherine who provided a very welcome pack of tea and milk, bottle of wine and biscuits! Much appreciated. Beautiful countryside, visit to Clumber Park was a lovely day out. The Boat Inn at Hayton provided lovely food, we went back a second time!

A lovely renovated Dovecote which has been thoughtfully decorated. The owner had left a welcome pack which was very much appreciated on arrival. Although the WiFi didn't work when we arrived it was resolved very quickly. The location of the property is great for walking and visiting the local areas and the village itself has a lovely friendly pub wRead moreith good food. As there was no garden, a small table and chairs were provided outside of the property, weather dependent! Hide

We had a really lovely weekend at the Dovecote. Comfortable accommodation with everything we needed, very quiet location and really welcoming host. We ended up eating at the Bluebell Inn both nights which was an easy stroll where we felt really welcomed and had lovely food. All in all - would highly recommend.
