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.

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.

Lovely cottage with so much care & attention gone into the renovation and remembrance of its original use as a dovecote. Spent a great few days visiting family living close by and enjoying the lovely area and friendly locals.

Dovecote was superb to stay in, all home comforts, clean, comfortable and in a lovely walking area and a great pub in the village. Local walks to use in the cottage and owner onsite to help with any queries. Homemade scones, tea, coffee and wine on hand when we arrived.

Situated in a pleasant rural village you'll see plenty of horses, goats and dogs on walks. The cottage is clean and ideal for a couple's break, although at times you'll here some of the farm noise. Probably best suited for couples wanting to go out and explore the countryside or a day trip to the beach only about 45 mins away.
