What an enchanting experience! Sarah was a lovely host, greeting us warmly and giving us some fascinating history about this unusual building and the grounds which it sits. The dovecot itself was like something out of a children's adventure book- the smell of wood as you enter, the little nooks and crannies and the bijoux sleeping level all adding to the sense of spending time somewhere a little other worldly! Alongside the quirkiness is the high standard of finish throughout with a great modern bathroom with comforting underfloor heating. The immediate location is beautiful with vast gardens and amazing mixed period buildings and just at the end of the street are restaurants, cafes and shops to suit all tastes. We were looking for a quiet peaceful time away with the option of heading into the city if we fancied- and this was just perfect for that. It was like being in the countryside as we sat in the garden having breakfast, then just 15 minutes walk later you're in the bustle of a capital city. We loved it and can't wait to come back!
