Dovestays

We had the most wonderful stay at The Dovecote Inn last weekend. From the wonderfully welcoming staff to the cosy and comfortable accommodation, everything was just what we needed to make our stay perfect. Thank you all, we will be back!

That we didn’t stay longer!

The location and room were full of character. However, to access the bedrooms in the converted barn, potential visitors need to be able to climb a significant number of external steps. I would have liked Weetabix to have been included in the choice of cereals provided in the room for breakfast. Staff were very helpful and I was advised in advance that a motorcycle meet would be taking place in the car park on the first night of my visit. That did not cause any problems.

Clean comfortable accommodation

Some items short at breakfast.

It was a pleasant pub in a quiet village, very friendly staff and good beer.

Upon my arrival, I was informed that the property does not provide on-site cooked meals on Monday or Tuesday evenings (Booking.com website did not mention this!). However, the proprietor did assist me in being able to order a takeaway meal from a local source (well done for her!) My booking was made at about 9pm the night before my intended stay, as an overnight rest following a 300 mile drive, prior to continuing further the next day, so I was expecting on-site catering. Although the property did send me an email clarifying the absence of catering on that night, the nature of my travelling day left me with no time to check my emails, thus I was very dissapointed.
