The cottage is cosy with lovely open plan layout and two double bedrooms. Very peaceful and relaxing few days.

Small things like curtains and blinds. These do not close properly, are thin, old fashioned, hanging on cheap, flimsy poles and curtain rings, which impact hugely on the light coming through. The bathroom is very dated, so lots of engrained limescale which then appears unclean. The main bed is very comfy but needs some attention cos it creeks a lot. The equipment in the kitchen is ok, but Iâve stayed at places before that have used basic items sold at Dunelm and they are a low cost but quality items, which this accommodation would benefit from. It feels like the home has a lack of love injected into it, yet the building and surroundings are beautiful and the location is great. On a whole I enjoyed my stay, but feel these small, yet important adjustments could really transform the reviews and peoples overall stay.

The Dovecote would have been fantastic after it was remodelled at least 10 years ago but is now a bit shabby and run down. The toilet flush button is broken and the toilet seat is loose, it needs a new bathroom. The oven didnât work and we left a message but no reply. A âmish mashâ of crockery and cutlery all needs replacing and wouldât cost much. Several light bulbs not working and windows need cleaning on the inside. There is no wifi at the Dovecote. With investment to bring it up to standard it would have been good value, but not in its current condition.
