Guests say

Doves Nest in Ashbourne is a well-received holiday home, praised for its spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and suitability for large groups and families. The location is convenient for exploring the area, and the hot tub is a popular feature. Some guests mentioned minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance, but overall, the property provides a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Most guests found the property to be well-presented. However, a few guests noted issues with cleanliness such as dirty oven trays and a towel, which slightly marred an otherwise positive impression.

The property is appreciated for its ideal location, close to town with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The convenience for exploring the surrounding area and proximity to walks are highlighted as positives.

Guests generally found the property comfortable, with a spacious kitchen and living areas. Some guests mentioned the beds being low or soft, and traffic noise in road-facing rooms, but these were not major detractions for most.

The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and the hot tub is a favourite among guests. Some suggested additional items like mixing bowls and serving spoons, and there were minor maintenance issues like a blocked tub and a heating problem that was promptly fixed.

While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
