The Dovecot and the devotion of our host Sarah command the highest rating I could ever give, (or have ever given):
Hubris and exaggeration (or personal connections with the host) can often skew a review, as we all know.
Prior to this visit I had never heard of or visited the Dovecot, or our host.
The 16 th Century former dove loft is truly stunning. It is immaculately kept, and restored to the highest level of modern comfort and convenience without losing one iota of it’s place in history.
The gardens and grounds are laid out in a landscape studded with ancient trees, extensive fruits, flowers and lawns, enclosed in centuries-old walled gardens. Imagine such a thing in the heart of Edinburgh!
Sarah is kind, warm, non intrusive and passionate about her estate and about her service to her guests
